Lord Daniel Windermere, Archie to those close to him, is
known for his affable and jovial personality. He is a music connoisseur, who is
talented in both piano and music composition. Archie visits a lesser reputed
music hall in search of inspiration to help him through a creative block. And
he finds it in the form of an untrained mezzosoprano. When he foils Valentina’s
plans, Archie agrees to help her formulate a new one. Will Archie realize that
Valentina is more to him than just a muse?
Miss Valentina Hart is the only daughter of an
apothecary. When her family falls victim to a swindler, she forms a strategy to
recover their fortune. Valentina’s attempt fails thanks to a certain
golden-haired noble – who introduces an elaborate plan to swindle the swindler.
She learns that her co-inspirator has two sides to him. Can Valentina convince
Archie to share his musical genius with the world?
I admit that I did not care for Archie in his sister’s
book. His personality and his attitude towards certain things annoyed me.
However, that changed with this story. I like how that is just a persona Archie
adopted to present to his peers to keep his true self hidden.
Valentina proves that she was perfect for Archie. She is
the only person who truly saw him. And Valentina preferred his rarely seen
persona to the smiling jovial gentleman the world normally saw. I like how she
encouraged him to share his music with the world, along with embracing both
sides of himself.
LORD ARCHER CATCHES A CONTESSA is the third installment
in Sofie Darling’s historical romance series, WINDERMERES IN LOVE. Each book in
this series feels novella length. They make quick reads. I read this story in
one setting. The characters and the plot easily drew me in, where I did not
want to put the book down. Amelia and Tristan – the couple from LADY AMELIA
TAKES A LOVER – make an appearance close to the end. Even Oliver Quincy, the annoying
buffoon from MR. SINCLAIR BEGUILES A BLUESTOCKING, has a brief cameo.
Juliet and Rory are next.
