There is a minimal amount of misunderstandings, all deftly handled by Thomas, so no eye rolling. They are interesting, and in the end, endearing characters. And Louisa has a few surprising needs of her own, as well as an intellect to match his. Watching him rationalize his attraction to her even as he uses all his intellect to lure her into a scandalously intimate relationship, was entertaining. He has his reasons for being cynical and disingenuous with society, but one look at Louisa, and his cover is nearly blown. Enter The Perfect Gentleman, an appellation our hero has given to himself, with tongue firmly in cheek. Once their mother dies, they will lose their income, and being practical, she knows that she must make the most of her season if she is to marry well.
The Luckiest Lady in London has the same passionate and serious tone as the other two books in the series, and for an HR, the sex was hot! In this one, our heroine, Louisa Cantwell, is devoted to her family - especially to the future welfare of an epileptic sister. I highly recommend them all, especially as read by Corrie James. I can't say that it mattered - each book is fine as a stand alone, and the characters are only loosely mentioned in the other books, but I do plan to read them in order next time. This book is actually the first of the three, followed by Private Arrangements, and ending with His at Night.
I've recently read three novels by Sherry Thomas, only to discover that they are all linked in a series that neither Audible nor Amazon describe as related.
