So in chapter 11 of Stacie's book, Ryder and Mary's oldest son was named Julian. In this book his name is Robert. While I consider most of Laurens' books to be decent books to read and lose yourself in, because I've been paying more attention to detail so I can keep track of who and the general ages of people, I've noticed a lot of glaring mistakes. I think the author really needs to sit down and review her books and fix the issues and take better character notes.

Lord Godfrey is headed deep into North Yorkshire in January 1850 to assess a high renaissance painting's validity when he and his manservant are caught in a sudden blizzard just short of their destination, Hinkley Hall. While they make it to the hall alive, Godfrey collapses on arrival at the feet of Miss Eleanor Hinkley. As the blizzard rages trapping all in the manor, including 2 neighbors and a distant relative who also was caught on the road by the blizzard, Ellie and Godfrey bond while he recovers from the fever and cough that inevitably takes possession after his collapse.
Godfrey, the youngest of the Cavanaugh siblings, is passionate about art and has become an expert in detecting forgeries. In the course of his appraisal, it is found that things are not as expected in more than one way with respect to the painting and to matters at Hinkley Hall. While dodging danger and disclosing villains, all is satisfactorily resolved and true love finds its way.
This is the last of the Cavanaugh siblings series by Laurens. All of the siblings have put the ugly past behind them and sunk deep roots into the new families they have each embraced while realizing individual fulfillment in their chosen interests.

This book was boring. I listened to the audiobook version, and it was pretty good. At times the narrator missed the mark with the audible breaths.
This book was too sappy and lovey dovey and the prose was just too much, and much of the book was cringeworthy.

Godfrey Cavanaugh is an art appraiser sent to North Yorkshire to evaluate a painting. Caught in a snowstorm, he catches a fever but is nursed back to health by the daughter of the family, Elinor Hinckley. Unfortunately, the painting is a forgery, and Godfrey sets about solving the mystery as well as wooing Elinor.
I felt like I read this book before as the plot is very familiar to a few others I've read, but that's fine because Ms. Laurens always adds her own stamp to a story. The characters are great and both Godfrey and Elinor are a good match with lots of chemistry. A very good read.
