This is the third in a series about the Reece family from this author. Lady Celia Reece is recovering from a disastrous marriage. Her family is concerned about her depression and her mother arranges a house party where her old friends and some eligible men are invited. Anthony Hamilton, Celia's brother's friend from school days is included in the party. Unknown to Celia, Anthony has been interested in her since before her marriage. The characters from the previous books are present, but their presence is natural and not intrusive.
This was a lovely, well-written book. The character development is wonderful - we truly understand Anthony and Celia, their attraction to each other and what makes them the people they are. Even the secondary characters ring true. This is my favorite type of romance novel - the characters and their relationship drive the plot.
My only criticism is that a secondary mystery plot pops up in literally the last couple of chapters. It felt like a last-minute addition, and didn't add to the story. Also, the author muffs British aristocracy titles and modes of address in one case, a nit, but an hour on wikipedia would be enough to understand how it works.
