Summary
New York Times best-selling author Mary Balogh's new Wescott series continues as a young woman deals with her father's death and a reversal of fortune.
With her parents' marriage declared bigamous, Camille Westcott is now illegitimate and without a title. Looking to eschew the trappings of her old life, she leaves London to teach at the Bath orphanage where her newly discovered half sister lived. But even as she settles in, she must sit for a portrait commissioned by her grandmother and endure an artist who riles her every nerve. An art teacher at the orphanage that was once his home, Joel Cunningham has been hired to paint the portrait of the haughty new teacher. But as Camille poses for Joel, their mutual contempt soon turns to desire. And it is only the bond between them that will allow them to weather the rough storm that lies ahead.

Sweet but long winded
Mary Balogh's moralising can be a bit cloying when combined with Rosalind Landor's treacly voice.

Unlikeable heroine transformed
I started this book simply because I couldn’t bear to skip to the next one.
I intensely disliked Camille in the first Wescott book and couldn’t see how her character could be redeemed
But Mary Balogh did it!
I loved the end of the book and how much of a new character Camille became.
Not even Anna, an orphan herself had thought of adopting other orphans when her fortunes changed for the better.
Well done to Mary Balogh!

An excellent form of escapism
As the second book in the series it did not disappoint. The story was interesting and totally absorbing. As in the first book the narrator was superb!

Pleasantly Surprised
I knew from Book 1 (Someone to Love), that I didn’t like the character of Camille Westcott - a testament to Ms Balogh’s talent - so I didn’t approach this book with favour.
I wasn’t wrong. Camille is not an endearing character, a polar opposite to Anna her half sister (& actually her own full sister Amelia? I can’t remember her name).
However, there were some interesting sub stories within this tale and some worthy characters to embrace, enjoy and extort. I ended up being pleasantly surprised by this, although it may not be among my favourites of the series, time will tell.

Better and better
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Often the second one of a series is a letdown. But this one was equally as good, for different reasons. I laughed and cried. Both Mary and Rosalyn make a great team. Can’t wait for the next one.

A really enjoyable book.
A really enjoyable book. This the second one that I have 'read' on Audible, about the Westcott family. Good story and brilliant performance by Rosalyn Landor.

Absolute gem!
I simply love this book in this whole series. I loved book 1 due to Avery and his mannerisms and martial arts. I loves this book because both Joel and Camille are not such great characters from previous book but the author does their characters justice and redeems them amazingly.
I absolutely adore the interactions with children in the orphanage, art references, innovative lessons, 8nternal struggles of both the MCs and their journey.
Narrator has done a wonderful job! love her voice and her cadence is very soothing .

wonderful
I at first couldn't believe I could like listening to audio, because I rather like sinking in my own thought and explore the words but Rosalyn's voice could really make someone want to listening to it over and over again. The story itself somehow pretty much like a replica of main characters but Mary Balogh did manage it well enough to make one curious and cannot let go by setting the book aside.
