Ethan: Lord of Scandals by Grace Burrowes

5.0

This novel is one of Burrowes's best so far. We first met Ethan in the story of Nicholas, as the older, bastard brother who was sent off to "public" school away from the rest of the family. We finally learn what happened that made him the man he is today -- dead wife he hated, two kids he barely knows, no interactions with anyone really. That story is awful and tragic, but no less so than that of the female protagonist, Alice. You end up aching for them, not just as a couple with the requisite misunderstanding, but particularly for Ethan's relationship with his brother. So not only do you see the HEA coming, you NEED it to come -- for everyone involved. Such a gorgeous story.
