This is the third book of the quartet and really needs to be read after book #1 (Birching His Bride) and book #2 (Dealing With Discipline). This is the continuation of both Eleanor & Edwin's story, as well as Hugh & Irene's. In addition we have the tale of Wesley & Cynthia.
All three couples are delightful, and the women in particular have very distinct and rounded personalities. Due to the inclusion of scenes between the other couples, Wesley and Cynthia's story did feel somewhat rushed. Their part was very reminiscent of reading a novella, which in effect it was if you removed the none-C&W parts.
However that didn't stop me from being engaged by, and enjoying the book. I adore Eleanor and it's fun seeing all the coupes and how they interact. There are some wonderfully 'naughty' scenes and plenty of spanked bottoms! Cynthia has a real wild child, I loved her 'don't care' attitude and progressive outlook. I'd love to see more of her getting up to mischief and leading Wesley on a wild chase!
I've totally adored the series so far and can't wait to read Grace and Alex's story.

Book 3 - 2.5/5⭐️
Review for the last three books because I binged all of them and don’t have a lot to say on the individual books
If I have to read the words “pleasure knob” “her honey” “sucking heat” or “welcoming quim” one more time, I’ll die of cringe
The stories in these quarter could’ve been so much better if the sex scenes weren’t as bad and it didn’t toy continuously with the dub-con/non-con line.

Wesley was requested to come home by his mother. His ward was extremely out of hand. If he didn't get her under control soon, she will ruin not only her name but his mother's as well. He must find a way to keep her in line and untainted. He must also resist the temptation of wanting her while he finds someone to marry her off to.
This isn't the best of the three, but I really enjoyed it all the same. I really love how the author takes adds new main characters to the story but maintains the ones from previous books as well. It can be read as a stand-alone, but I preferred to read them all in order. I may not have fully missed anything, but there are things I wouldn't have fully understood had I read them out of order.
While I can't say I identify with any of the characters in the book, I adore them. I connect well with them. Well, I connect more with the women than the men. It's really hard to explain. In some ways, I feel the men in the books are a little weird. Maybe that's how they were in that time period.
I really enjoyed the narrator. She narrated the first two books as well. S. Kitten narrated the book. It seems she narrated the whole series from what I'm understanding. She has a very perfect voice for the time period in which this book takes place. I can't really explain that either. She's just very proper and sophisticated. I'd definitely listen to other audiobooks by her.
I really don't care for this genre that much. Not that I have anything against it. It's just not really my thing. However, Golden Angel makes me want to read her books anyway. She's very talented. I've come out of my comfort zone so much listening to her books. I'm glad I did. It's amazing to see exceptions to the rule.

Much better than bk#2!
And holy crap was it super steamy
Wesley and Cynthia were tons of fun to read about. They were great MC's.
The main thing that brought this down was Elenore's Continuing! nonsense worry over Edwin's feelings for her. Drove Me Nutz!

Omg I ADORE Cynthia! I loved Wesley from the previous books but him and Cynthia together are just pure gold. I actually wish the entirety of the book was about them and not the other couples, although I do love Edwin and Eleanor, I’m not a huge fan of Irene and Hugh. Regardless, the whole book was fabulous!
