Gareth is a rake and is not really the Baron’s son, but the Baron has never declared that Gareth was. They both are estranged. Hyacinth is very talkative and very opinionated. She sees Lady Danbury every Tuesday to read to her. When Gareth needs someone to translate his grandmothers diary, he finds out Hyacinth can. They discover there is hidden jewels and that this may be financially helpful for Gareth. From there sparks fly.
I was hesitant to read this since I didn’t like When He Was Wicked and I’m getting a little burnt out from reading Bridgerton books basically back to back. Surprisingly this was good. I loved both characters. People say Eloise is a firecracker, but I really believe Hyacinth really is the firecracker of the family. She has to have the last word and is ultimately stubborn. I really didn’t like the epilogue.
