A Secret Affair (Huxtables book 5)

by Mary Balogh.

The final Huxtable book follows Constantine so we finally get to find out his secrets. He starts an affair with the recently widowed Duchess of Dunbarton. We get to see all the other Huxtables in this one and Constantine and his cousin finally work things out and are friends again. It was a good ending to a series with good characters.

Seducing an Angel (Huxtables book 4)

by Mary Balogh.

This one follows the brother Stephen while he is seduced by a widow whose reputation for murdering her husband precedes her. It was good, not the best in the series but still good. I'm actually really looking forward to the next which follows their cousin Con.

And Last Come Love (Huxtables book 3)

by Mary Balogh.
Well not really last :) This is the third in the huxtables series. It follows the eldest sister who is now 30 and heartbroken. She bumps into a complete stranger who asks her to marry him. Turns out he has a very scandalous past. I liked this one a lot, the main character was so likeable.

Then Comes Seduction (Huxtables book 2)

by Mary Balogh.

The second in the series of 5, this one follows the youngest sister who is almost ruined at the age of 18 by a complete rake. He can't go through with it however and 3 years later finds himself wagering her that he can make her fall in love with him and vice versa. I did enjoy this one and I like the strong family connections between the books so you get to see where the previous characters are in life. Quite a bit of time passes between books too which makes things more realistic.

First Comes Marriage (Huxtable book 1)

by Mary Balogh.

Aimee loaned me a new series that takes place in victorian times! This series revolves around the Huxtables (3 sisters and one brother) who come into an inheritance (the brother comes into a title) and start moving in new circles.

This first book is the story of the middle sister who is widowed and asks an Earl to marry her because she thinks he's about to ask her sister and she knows her sister will say yes but be unhappy in the marriage. It's always neat how many plots can be thought up to place 2 people in a marriage before they know each other and then they fall in love.

The story is a good one though and it led me right into the second which is about the youngest sister who is falling for a complete rake.
