I didn't like this one as much as I'd hoped. But it was still good to finally get Val's story. (

Great plot, great series.

This time it's Valentine's turn. He's the pianist who can't play who never developed any other skills. What is he to do?

The hands need rest, total rest.

But then he meets Ellen. She needs help, lots of it. He has time, kaboodles of it. They help each other and then Ellen's secret threatens to tear them apart.

The Windham family weighs in with ducal splendor and all ends happily ever after.

The heroine's conclusion regarding her secret was a bit of a weak point I felt. But the hero was very sweet, (a beta hero). It was nice to read an atypical hero, portrayed with good communication skills, emotional understanding, consideration, love of music, etc. He won't appeal to everyone of course, but I didn't think he came off as sappy or weak or anything. It just made him endearing. (

Valentine Windham, the youngest son of the Duke of Morland, is a piano virtuoso, but his left hand is damaged and swollen. When he wins an estate in a card game, he takes the opportunity to rebuild the derelict estate - and visit with the lovely widow, Ellen Markham, who lives nearby.
This is a reread for me. I probably love it just as much as I did the first time. Val and Ellen are both artists, he with his music and she with her gardens, so they make a perfect match though it takes them a while to get there. Many of the other Windham characters and various friends and relatives make appearances which are always fun. I was especially happy to see Gayle (from The Heir) was much more light-hearted since his marriage and birth of his son.
As always, the writing is lovely. What's not to like in a book filled with music and flowers? (
