From a New York Times bestselling author and her daughter!England, 1677: Lady Lily Ashcroft is known for being kind to all creatures—even Rose, her flighty and frivolous older sister. But Lily’s sweet nature is put to the test when she unwittingly falls for the man her sister intends to marry. Betraying her own kin is out of the question, but she can’t seem to bury her growing feelings for Lord … growing feelings for Lord Randal Nesbitt…
What Lily doesn’t realize is that Rand, an Oxford linguist, has been harboring a secret admiration for her ever since she was a girl. But Rose is just as beautiful and shares his passion for languages. Now he finds himself caught in a tug of war between two sisters—the one he’s expected to wed and the one who holds his heart…

It wasn’t quite as good as her other books in this series. I struggled to get through it, as I found it trite.
This book was re-written to make it less steamy. I don’t appreciate really vivid lust/sex in a book, but believe something was lost in the translation. Not having read the original, unsure. But certain phrases and scenes seemed to be repeated throughout the book, with almost the same wording, I caught myself thinking I must have lost my place. The authors intend to rewrite several others to make it more palatable for younger or, like me, readers who like romance but not so much sex.
I enjoyed this book very much.
The story was simple and sweet enough, but the book itself was poorly written. Proofreading and editing would have made a big difference. Somehow I cannot picture a young lady in the 1600s telling her sister to “stuff it”. Iam not sure why this time frame was chosen because everything else seemed more like the Regency period.
