Grace Burrowes

Retreating to the country after an injury robs him of his musical ability, Valentine Windham discovers, with the help of an impoverished young widow, that he can be loved for himself, not just his music. Original.

Another great Grace Burrowes. I loved Val and his internal conflict regarding his identity and his place in the world, I loved the attention to country life, I loved the sense of place and of family and friends existing in the world, even when they don't show up - though of course it's even better when they do. But damn, that is a stupid external conflict. Ellen could have just SAID WHAT HAD HAPPENED at pretty much any time, and not kept on the ~mistery~ forever. The first two books in this "trilogy" have the exact same structure, with the ladies reluctant to commit to their respective heroes because they must keep their secrets for one reason or another, so maybe it's fatigue that made me less patient this time around. But damn. That was hard to stomach. Three stars for that reason only.
