Ms. Lower took her latest foray into the Fitzpatrick world and the Cotillion Ball series to an entirely new level of greatness. Halwyn is the staid oldest sibling of the Fitzpatrick clan. A banker by trade that enjoys his routine life of work then home to the safety of his dwindling family. One by one the kids are bitten by the love bug and Halwyn’s time has run out. Literally his eyes are opened, due to the purchase of a pair of glasses that help him to take the view of his world at a distance instead of only what’s in front of his face. He tries out his new spectacles at the latest Cotillion, only to run into a childhood friend of his twin sisters, Jasmine and Heather. From the wallflower to nursemaid, Grace Wagner becomes a whirlwind in Halwyn’s otherwise calm life. She has much to lose in a small amount of time, but nothing to gain if she’s not willing to gamble her heart. We see it all in the characters that feel like long friends as we are swept up in the intrigue and awakening of what becomes Grace and Halwyn. I hope you enjoy you time in the 1858 as much as I did.
