Devil's Daughter
by Lisa Kleypas
"I think I’m in love with her. Either that, or I have a stomach disease with a side effect of uncontrollable sweating."
In Devil's Daughter, familiar faces from the Wallflower series and the relatively new faces of the Ravenels are brought together for a new love story between the two families. When the young widow Phoebe, Lady Clare, meets West Ravenel, their first encounter is perhaps less than auspicious. Phoebe's late husband had been a sickly child in his youth and at boarding school he had been tormented by none other than West. While he might be quite a bit older now, Phoebe isn't terribly interested in forgiveness. West is instantly attracted to the young widow but is well aware that his history is less than pristine and willing to admit that he's done terrible things. The former scoundrel has buried himself in estate management to help out his brother-in-law and make a new man of himself but knows that a woman like Phoebe is well out of his reach.
When the two are thrown together in the same house for Pandora and Gabriel Ravenel's wedding, Phoebe is forced to reconsider West as a changed man as he proves again and again. While West refuses to pursue her due to his sordid history, Phoebe has had the example of Sebastian St. Vincent and his strong-willed wife Evie as parents and isn't about to back down. It'll be up to Phoebe to convince West that a checkered past isn't enough to stand in their way.
For fans of [b:Devil in Winter|114166|Devil in Winter (Wallflowers, #3)|Lisa Kleypas|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1309220205s/114166.jpg|1823830], there's a fair amount of Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent and Evie in this story as both parents try to meddle a bit (but not too much) to secure love for their daughter. The interactions between West Ravenel and Phoebe's two young sons are quite cute and I enjoyed having Phoebe be the driving force behind the romance as she realizes that West has matured beyond the tormented kid that he once was. And, as is often the case, the banter between West and Phoebe and some of the other characters had me laughing and delighted.
While it's not necessarily my favorite of her regency romances, Devil's Daughter was still a sweet, heartwarming story that I very much enjoyed.
