Resumen del Editor

The Wulfriths. First. in between. In the end.

The Swan of Lexeter.

Lady Adelaide Soames of scandalous repute counts the days, months, and years until justice is served. At last, King Edward’s masked ball not only brings her face to face with the nobleman who ruined her sister, but the sheriff she deems his accomplice. When she exposes the culprit, the resulting spectacle finds her teetering on the edge of the king’s mercy. And stunned when the sheriff who could have saved her sister offers a solution to the problem of a lady no longer welcome at court. Certain he expects her to reject what can only be a show of penance, she accepts. Then just like that, the scandalous Swan of Lexeter finds herself hopelessly ensnared, and justice deferred. Yet, there could be good in it. If she can put growing feelings for this man ahead of her desire for revenge.

The Sheriff of Wulfenshire.

Sheriff Percival D’Arci is diligent in enforcing the law upon Wulfenshire—though not always. Years ago, vexed at being awarded an office requiring more time than he could spare, with undue haste he investigated a lady’s assault on her sister’s guardian. And mistakenly gave greater weight to the testimony of a respected nobleman than a woman known for stirring trouble. Now, burdened by a tragedy he might have prevented, he is prepared to give Lady Adelaide her due—and even more when guilt collides with impulse, and the penance he offers is not rejected. Might his resolve to bring to justice the nobleman who destroyed her sister ease her bitter heart? Or have they consigned each other to a life of discord? And how is he to keep the lady to whom he is increasingly drawn from taking matters into her own hands?

Excellent as always

I am so enjoying this series as all of Tamara Leigh’s books, but I think this is one of my top three.

Doesn't Diasppoint

as always, Tamara Leigh provides the wonderful tale of love and struggle and ultimate Triumph.

Darn my least favorite

I typically enjoy these stories but this one was somewhat icky. I didn’t find the storyline engaging and the plot was weak. I heard way too much about her “Menses” than I ever wanted to know. The author often includes that in her books but this was over the top. The villain was a pedophile and it was just distasteful to get through the book. The love connection was less than lukewarm. They can’t all be winners. But in the bigger picture it did move the family story along. I usually don’t include narrator notes because I feel it really is personal preference, but I have a very hard time following this guy. If I had one credit to spend I would pick a different book from this series the rest have been great!
