The mayhem continues! Serenity's story was sure to be wildly amusing with her sensitivity issues. I greatly enjoyed the emphasis on the bees. The Marquess is the perfect foil for Serenity. Roland tries to hide his sensitivities. Lord Charles adds so much to this story. The Duke of Pelham always adds so much humor to this series. Can't wait for the next installment!

This is another fun read from Kate Archer that had me LOL several times. Lady Serenity Nicolet, the daughter of the Duke of Pelham, is up this time, seeking a potential husband and trying to control her emotions all at once. She cries at many things; overcome with emotions at a beautiful sunset, the setting sun, dead bees, etc. Her twin Lady Patience is now wed the love of her life and Lady Serenity is hoping the same for herself.

Upon arriving in London, she decides to go for a stroll with her three-legged dog and the housekeeper, and they are caught in a light drizzle. Instead of running into the house as quickly as she can, she remains outside, turning her face up to the sky and enjoying the light drizzle on her face. Lord Roland Garner, the Marquess of Thorpe, and eldest son of the Duke of Mariton is looking out the window at the same time and catches a glimpse of Lady Serenity turning her face up to the sky, laughing in enjoyment of the drizzle! He is instantly besotted and cannot wait to meet her.

Roland is a sentimental and sensitive man who must endure the teasing of his younger brother Charles who is the very opposite of his brother. He is in love with himself and feels he should have been the duke's heir and is very bitter about it. He constantly tries to one up Roland and ridicules him at every chance he can get, determined to paint him in the worst possible light.

Roland’s butler sees the good man Roland is and tells him to be more forthcoming with his emotions as the perfect lady will find him when he does. When he does eventually meet Serenity, the attraction is almost instantaneous, and a connection is formed.

There is a new butler for the Nicolet family, courtesy of Lady Misery (Lady Marchfield, the duke's sister), who brings an interesting development this time round that involves the bishop coming to see if Mrs. Right has indeed sold herself to the devil!

All in a fun, enjoyable read that I would recommend if you were looking for some light reading. I received an ARC from the publishers and NetGalley and submit my honest review voluntarily.

Such a fun read.
Serenity is the next daughter thrust on the marriage mart by her father the Duke.
She is emotional and weepy, dedicated to her little bees and her dog.
Thorpe the Marquess sees her in a snowstorm outside his window and starts to fall under her spell.
He too is emotional but tries to control his weeping and responses.
But his younger brother is competitive, resentful of Thorpe’s title, and tries to sabotage the budding romance.
The Duke is difficult but a good father, Mrs Right is the territorial housekeeper, and all the sisters are devoted to each other.
Lots of interaction and dialogue with good character development.
