dianed's review against another edition

It's always sad when a book series ends. The reader must decide whether to rush through to find the final Happy Ending or to read slowly and savor the trip. Hestia Wright has been through so much at the hands of her arch-nemesis and now we are in the endgame. We know Hestia must win but it was a difficult journey to get there.
Hestia is summoned to a meeting with the Prince Regent who is upset that the Marquess of Marstoke has escaped once again. He is putting Hestia on the hunt and giving her a partner - the Earl of Stoneacre. She is upset with this partnership - not because she doesn't like Stoneacre but because she might like him too much. The two both have experience hunting down Marstoke and together they are a winning team.
While you know who will win in the end, getting there is dangerous and sometimes you wonder if they can really win against such evil. Along the way, the sparks between Hestia and Stoneacre fan into a flame and that is another issue they must overcome.
This was a great ending to a wonderful series and only the best Happily Ever After could suffice for Hestia Wright.

Hestia finally gets her happily ever after in more ways than one! There’s always been something between them waiting to bloom and she can no longer ignore it when they are forced to work together. The longer they were together the closer they got and it was just a matter of time before they both realized it was forever. When she believed that letter I wanted to scream!
I did not see who was giving the info to Marstroke coming at all. None of my guesses were close even after the story of the person was told. It was a shock from the time that person was revealed to the end of everything. The ending was absolutely perfect!
Hestia has spent years putting others first and living behind a mask, but Stoneacre makes her want to drop the mask and live again. I’ve loved getting to know her throughout the books and this one just makes me love her more. She survived so much but was never broken. The scene with Stoneacre’s mother was another shock and so good!
Stoneacre has never hid his feelings when it came to Hestia and he sees through her mask like no one else. I loved that he never pushed her about the past, but pushed her to feel again. He would never give up on her are judge her for anything.

While I did not read the previous three books in this series, the book works well as a stand alone once you get through the first couple of chapters. Hestia Wright and Stoneacre are teamed up to bring down an evil, womanizing crime lord by the Prince Regent. Both are independent and self-sufficient although the attraction between them is there from the start. As they travel all through the English countryside to find their quarry, their romance develops and they realize catching the criminal will not be the end of their story. I enjoyed this book and am curious enough to go back and read the the three previous books.
