In The Search for Integrity, All Motives Must Be Questioned

A final Season. A last chance. A promise of forever.

Remain alone, or take a chance?

Eliza Fitzgerald has always prided herself on her ability to navigate Mayfair’s glittering Upper Society, remaining free from any hint of scandal. Her overbearing mother is determined to see her married, but Eliza knows too well the flaws of every eligible gentleman in town.

Though other young ladies fall victim to gossip and heartache, Eliza will not be fooled.
While her friends find their happily-ever-afters, Eliza must fend off the unwanted attentions of the notorious Lord Armitage Ashbury, a charming baron with a reputation as a flirt and breaker of hearts.

As the 1815 Social Season draws to a close, whispers of both mischief and honor follow the enigmatic gentleman. This leaves Eliza uncertain of everything she thought she knew about him—and Society itself.

When friendship begins to blur into something more, Eliza must decide: Is Lord Ashbury the scoundrel Society warns against or the only man who can break through her carefully constructed defenses?

The path to love was with many twists and turns

The English accent (female) was enjoyable to listen to.

The story is about a young woman of London’s Mayfair high society. The lady is no mere flirtatious girl and not one to be swept off her feet by men who make sport of breaking hearts. When a certain gentleman, known to trifle with hearts, takes an interest in her, she must tread with extreme caution.

The story is well told and the characters are interesting, some likable and others are less than honorable. The lady realizes a mistake in judging someone’s true character can have lasting bad consequences.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s the final book in the Heatherfield series.
