Desiree M ~*~*~ LiveReadCollect's Reviews > An Affair in Winter

4 stars.

I really enjoyed this. Couldn't put it down.

A winter storm has stranded Rosalind and Grayson. The two spend the night together, knowing that it'll only be one night and both go their separate ways. Only to realize later that day that Rosalind is the sister of Gray's brother's betrothed.

There is a lot of backstory with all these characters and it makes their present so much richer.

Celia and Lucien don't have a love match, they are both getting something from the marriage. Lucien gets wealth, Celia gets a title and a certain standing in their social circles. Gray wants Lucien to not marry Celia, Rosalind wants Celia to marry Lucien and get away from their horrible (insert your choice of vile names) grandfather.

I loved how protective both Gray and Rosalind were of their siblings. They wanted them to be happy and they both had their reasons for wanting what they want. Sorry for being vague but if I start explaining the backstories I think it will take away the enjoyment of finding it out and reading it as it happens.

A couple minor issues, there were a couple times Celia got on my nerves when she was angry with Rosalind. Then I didn't completely understand why Gray was so against Celia and Lucien getting married. I know Lucien had a heartbreaking break up with his former love and it messed him up but I didn't understand how Celia would be bad for him.

Had fun reading this. Looking forward to the next one.
