winterreader40's review against another edition
4.0
Charlotte was forgotten by her husband in his will and had to sell her wedding ring to return home from India after his death and her in-laws cast her out of her own home with nothing, her cousin offers her a chance to be a whore for a night or longer if she's lucky enough to become someone's mistress, but she turns down the opportunity.
That same night she meets Fin in the garden and winds up spending the night with him, she vanishes the next morning and our story picks up a year later. Viscount Firthwell(Fin) has never forgotten Charlotte and he can't believe it's her when he runs into her again at a fundraiser for the school where she found a job.
The relationship is angsty with class and religious difference(Charlotte is Jewish) she's being hunted and then blackmailed by her in-laws and Fin is hiding his own secrets, if you've read book 1 you know if not I won't spoil it.
These 2 are perfectly balanced, he's optimistic and she's more realistic. The epilogue also focused more on the political aspect of the story on the Jewish relief act and not just they had so many kids and lived HEA.

I wasn't enamored with the first book in this series, but I'm so glad I gave it another chance because this was wonderful! I particularly loved the Jewish heroine and class difference.
