As the youngest Langley sister, Nora has decided she’d rather continue her botany work rather than ever marry. She has been writing to people as her father and doling out advice and treatments for years already and plans to keep up that work. One of her correspondents, Constantine Sinclair, has arrived expecting her father and is seeking help in saving the woman who raised him. To keep Constantine from sharing her secrets, Nora vows to save her. The more time they spend together, the more Constantine realizes Nora isn’t just the woman who tricked him and Nora realizes there might be more to life than plants.
The absolute best thing about this title was Nora. She was such a meddlesome little thing in the other two titles and it was fun to watch her grow up in this title. I enjoyed reading her struggle to have her older sisters see her as an adult and take her seriously. That struggle is so very relatable to any reader. I liked Constantine too, but felt like I didn’t get to know him as well since we got very little of his POV. It seemed like he only had a few chapters to show us who he was.
The main conflict of this title was resolved rather quickly, and there really wasn’t another major conflict that came along. This wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, as there were still smaller conflicts to resolve, but I would’ve liked the main plot point to be drawn out more. I really loved the fact that the love potion from the previous book made an appearance here, too.
I enjoyed other books in this series more, but this was still a very nice read and I look forward to Sophie Jordan’s next title!!
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sophie Jordan continues her bestselling Rogue Files series with this captivating romance that will thrill her many fans.
