This was certainly my favourite out of those I’ve read so far, and very much hope that it won’t be the last we see of the Westcotts. It’s always lovely to see couples finding happiness at any and every age, and this series has certainly excelled in that regard. I really enjoyed this story, even though I would have liked it to be a full-length novel rather than a novella. The Dowager Countess, meanwhile, has some quite firm ideas of her own as to what needs to be done. Both are, however, uncertain as to what their families would make of such a late marriage between them – if that is indeed what they both want – and how Matilda’s mother would cope without them. The party has a splendid time, and Matilda and Charles are able to rekindle their feelings for each other. When a trip to Kew Gardens is proposed for a group of their respective young relatives, Matilda agrees to go with Charles as a co-chaperone. Matilda is wary of Charles, in spite of never having met anyone else she wished to marry, and is also of the opinion that she is indispensable to her mother. Having met Matilda all over again, however, Charles finds himself fascinated by her and wonders what will happen if they resume their relationship.
In the years that followed, he gained a far worse reputation as a rake, even after his subsequent marriage. He already had a reputation for wild living, and when he visited Matilda’s father to request permission to further the relationship, he was sent away in no uncertain terms. Now that old friend is about to make another appearance in her life.Ĭharles, Viscount Dirkson, courted Matilda when they were in their early twenties and he had yet to inherit his title. Most of our glimpses of Matilda to date have been as companion to their mother, the Dowager Countess, although we saw a different side to her in the last book when she visited an old friend to request his help in securing the well-being of a new addition into the family. Lady Matilda Westcott is the sister of the late Earl of Riverdale, who has been the cause of much of the family’s trials and tribulations throughout the series, due to his bigamous second marriage. I have been utterly enchanted by this series so far, and was particularly excited toward the end of the last book to see that the next was likely to feature a significantly older hero and heroine (older than me, even).
