About this listen

Number one New York Times best-selling author Stephanie Laurens concludes the tales of the Cavanaugh siblings with the riveting story of the youngest brother and his search for a family of his own.

The scion of a noble house brought low by a storm and the lady who nurses him back to health strive to unravel a web of deception that threatens her family and forces them to fight for what they hold most dear - family, each other, and love.

Lord Godfrey Cavanaugh has no thoughts of marrying as he drives into North Yorkshire on a plum commission for the National Gallery to authenticate a Renaissance painting the gallery wishes to purchase. Then a snowstorm sweeps in, and Godfrey barely manages to haul himself, his groom, and his horses to their destination.

Elinor Hinckley, eldest daughter of Hinckley Hall, stalwart defender of the family, right arm to her invalid father, and established spinster, knows full well how much her family has riding on the sale of the painting and throws herself into nursing the initially delirious gentleman who holds her family’s future in his hands.

But Godfrey proves to be a far from easy patient. Through Ellie’s and her siblings’ efforts to keep him entertained and abed, Godfrey grows to know the family, appreciating and ultimately being drawn into family life of a sort he’s never known.

Eventually, to everyone’s relief, he recovers sufficiently to assess the painting - only to discover that nothing is as it seems.

Someone has plans - someone other than the Hinckleys - but who is pulling the strings is a mystery that Godfrey and Ellie find near-impossible to solve. Every suspect proves to have perfectly understandable, albeit hidden reasons for their behavior.

Until the villain, panicked by their inquiries, strikes - directly at them - and forces them both to acknowledge what has grown to be the most important thing in their lives. Together they battle to save not just themselves, not just her family, but their futures. Hers, his, and theirs.

Talk about being snowed in!

An unusual plot centered around art. A case of one person's junk being another person's treasure.

Good Story line and fun mystery

I enjoy the authors cross over of characters and families from her others books. Although I must admit I'm a sucker for happily ever afters and her portrayal of good and evil is very transparent. It's still a fun and easy story.

3.5 stars

For me there was no sizzle between the h/h. Both characters were very likable but I didn’t get sense of chemistry between them. The story gets 3.5 stars as it was very easy to figure out the bad guy. I’ve overdosed on Stephanie Laurens and the Cynsters. I’m taking a break. I liked that the love scenes didn’t go on for half the book as is SL habit. The Nate as good but no one will top Simon Prebble. They should have contracted him for all of the Cynster and related novels.

It’s always a pleasure revisiting the Cavenaugh and Cynster families and this book did not disappoint.

Very enjoyable

This was the fourth book in the series, and I enjoyed it very much. It was a believable plot and not overly dramatic.

Most enjoyable!

Found this book in the "included" section of Audible so read it not realizing it was book 4 of a series! Actually that didn't really matter as the book was pretty self contained. I really enjoyed the story and also felt that Mr. Justin Hill did a terrific job with the narration! On to read book 3 in the series next as its also included! Glad to see Mr. Hill is once again narrating! I shall look for more books read by him he has such a soothing voice!!!

Good

The story line is good- love, mystery, violence. I had a hard time with the sex… it seemed very pushed- like you had to get it in to make the quota It didn’t flow well into the story

Worth the read

This is the last book in this series and I loved each of them. Stephanie Laurens is a wonderful writer, I love all the series I have read so far. I enjoy finding names and places in one series that appeared in another series. I love how she connects the characters from one series to another. Read her books, you will not regret it.
