A review by ssejig
By Winter's Light by Stephanie Laurens
3.0
Though a part of the Cynster series, Laurens continues the work she's been doing in the "Casebooks of Barnaby Adair" series detailing relationships between couples who are not haute ton. In this book, one of the tutors to the next generation of Cynsters, Daniel Crosbie, and one of the governesses, Claire Meadows, find their own path to true love.
By dint of their occupations, Daniel and Claire have been thrown together during the Cynster celebrations. Now that his charges are about to all be off to school, Daniel is excited to be asked to stay on as Lucifer's amenuensis, assisting Lucifer with his collections. It would be enough to support a family...
But Claire has a past. As a widow, she's not really sure that she wants to get married again, but there's something about Daniel.
There was a lot of time given to the next generation of Cynsters, getting ready for the next books in the series. We see the five oldest of the children from the first round entering into their own adulthood. We see Sebastian and Michael (Honoria and Devil's oldest), Marcus and Lucinda (twins of Catriona and Vane), and Prudence (didn't catch the parents) working to help a small crofter get his house in order while his wife struggles to birth their first child.
In this book, we get our first glimpse of Thomas Carrick, Lucinda's one true love. He bursts into the cottage with his deerhound in a whirl of snow and manages to not only catch her eye but her interest as well.
