Nothing could have prepared the Catesby clan for the unexpected passing of the family patriarch, Earl Joseph Edward Catesby. On the day of his death, in the blink of an eye, the lives of one woman and her six grown children changed irrevocably. The matriarch Countess Margaret Lilias Catesby was now a dowager countess; her strength and maternal duty the sole driving force pushing herself through the grief.
All six of the Catesby children are left to carry on their father’s legacy, shown physically through their father’s green eyes and spiritually through his impassioned attitude for living. Eldest son Francis had barely a day to cope with his father’s death before the title of Lord Catesby was immediately thrust upon him. With Francis assuming ownership of the estate and his five siblings left to sort out the pieces, each must now find a way to navigate the world without their dear father’s guidance.
Will siblings Francis, Emily, Helena, Sophia and the twins, Charles and Henry, be able to move forward into society and proudly carry on the Catesby name? There’s only one way to find out…

My free opinion. Thanks.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This was the story of Martha, the widowed wife of Joseph Catesby, whose death was the beginning of this good series. In this final book, which was a very unexpected addition, the author brings to light feelings that a spouse lives through after raising a family and being married to the love of your life for so many years. A good story that addresses a myriad of feelings for those who are left after the loss of a spouse, be it months, years or decades. Add into that children who identify with you as the one remaining parent in their lives.
A very good conclusion to this set and surprising circumstances to the overall story. In my opinion this author deserves five stars for this entire set. Hours of reading pleasure for the reader who enjoys clean romance.
I received an ARC copy of this set. This is my honest and voluntary review and these are my personal thoughts and opinions.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t read the other stories, I had already read them all and reviewed them individually. I skipped to the end and read only “The Scandalous Dowager Countess” I honestly didn’t expect a story about the mom, but it was definitely a most welcomed surprise because I wondered if there was life for a widow in that era and whether or not there is Sunny Brooks made it possible. Very well written just like the other books in the series and a wonderful way to end the series. Lord Blackburn and Lady Catesby were very cute. I really enjoyed their interaction and even though I have not experienced widowhood myself I could definitely empathize with what Lady Catesby was struggling with.
Very well done Sunny!!! BRAVA!!!

*** Reviewing BOOK 6: DILEMMA OF THE EARL’S HEART ***
When Earl Joseph Edward Catesby died, he left his wife and six grown children to carry on his legacy. His mother, Lady Margaret Catesby, the Dowager Countess, had arrived to question her eldest son’s decision to replace a housekeeper because he claimed that he wanted someone with more experience. He didn’t want to tell her the real reason. His mother had recommended “Mrs. Harrington” since she intended to take her present staff with her when she moved behind his manor house. Not knowing how to get his own staff, he was relieved to have his mother’s help and hired the lady without meeting her. But she was much too young! Letting her go, however, would stain her reputation for no reason. But Francis just could not keep his mind off her, so getting rid of her was easiest for him. His mother reminded him that being the new Earl required him to be a fair master and to consider the consequences of his own actions. He was a titled gentleman and had to act with that in mind.
The Dowager Countess asked Rebecca to meet with her. She assured her that Lord Catesby would not end her employment and stain her reputation. But Rebecca was concerned that he knew more than he should about her actual situation! Again, Lady Catesby reassured her that he did not, and reminded her she would soon be returning to her place in Society. She had to wait until she turned 25 to wed or else her new husband would receive her inheritance as a dowry. So she was hiding from her cousin who wanted to get his hands on her fortune. He hadn’t gotten the title because her brother showed up from overseas; but forcing an early marriage with her would at least get him the money he craved. If she can hide a few more months, the money will be hers and hopefully her wicked cousin will leave her alone. Would she succeed in her plan, especially with her cousin so desperately searching for her? And will she take notice of Lord Catesby and realize his discomfort from hidden feelings for her?
This book is a fast-paced story that keeps the reader in suspense. The precarious situation Rebecca Patterson finds herself in can have repercussions for more than just herself. The characters are presented well and will pull the reader in. Grab your copy and see where the intrigue will lead each of them! Then enjoy the rest of the books in this great collection!!
