I really thought that this would be a good book. I did read the reviews, but I have read other books by this author that I really enjoyed. Unfortunately, this was not the case with this book. It started out well with the tale of three orphans having to ask their estranged grandfather for help. Meeting the recluse who didn't want them was also a positive beginning.After that things started going downhill. The two younger children had never seen the reclusive duke clearly.  How then did the little boy recognize him when he was cleaned up? When did the duke start liking the children? One day, he didn't want to see them, the next day, he is taking them out on an outing. When Charlotte decided she didn't want to get married, why did she write a note? I mean, she is still at the house. I could see a note if she was leaving, but to write a letter and wait to see what happens did not make sense.I couldn't get interested in this book. I really tried because I like this author, but it did not catch my attention.
