Alf stays in the Duke's house, and starts to become part of the family. Hugh's two young sons are still recovering from the loss of their mother and Hugh's absence from the house. They take to Alf right away, and it turns out that Hugh does as well. There is a happily ever after in this story, as there always is.
Hugh and Alf's story seems a little far-fetched (usually the heroine isn't so different from the hero) but it feels right almost from the first page. It's a story that was hard to put down, with enough action and suspense to make you keep turning pages. Also, the characters seemed to real and spoke to me right away. The writing was fresh and clever and kept me in the story instead of life around me.
Thanks to NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy. 5/5 on Goodreads.
