Its crazy how much I love the Kellingtons! It started with Ned and Jane in Book 1: Never a Mistress, No Longer a Maid and with each story Maureen Driscolli weaved a story a built on each one. I fell hard for all of the siblings but most for Liam. I knew that there was more to him than just being the head of the family. He always appeared to be stoic, reserved and carried himself somewhat set apart from the other brothers. But of course this is partially due to the fact that he had to step in and be the primary caregiver and dual roles of mother and father. Through each Kellington book Liam would retain my curiosity. Who was there for Liam (other than Marcus his BFF)? Then we meet Rosalind...ah, Rosalind! Rosalind is fanfreakintastic! I love Rosalind. So many women (both in books and in real life) who are shallow and care not much for expanding the mind. I went to college with many girls whose primary purpose was to catch a husband, majoring in the M.R.S. degree! If Rosalind were to exist in real life she and I would be of similar mindsets.It was refreshing to meet many a men who easily saw Rosalind's worth beyond the shallowness of physical beauty. She simply is beautiful inside and out. Kindness is beautiful; compassion is beautiful; intelligence is beautiful and dear Rosalind had all these qualities and then some. My recommendation is to read the Kellington books in order and you too will fall in love with this family. My heart has a special place for each sibling but I must confess my heart yearned most for Laim. Buy the series and allow yourself to step back in time in a world of gowns, balls, the ton, love and family.
