Neville, Galen and Burrowes have been on my must read list for awhile now, but this is my first story by Jewel. It definitely won't be my last.
I really liked how each of the stories took place in the bookstore as some point in their story. The authors also wove in other stories into each of their own.

Lady Windermere's Lover by Miranda Neville.

Lady Windermere's Lover by Miranda Neville.
This is book 3 in the Wild Quartet.
Lady Windermere, Cynthia, has lived the last year without her husband. Shortly after their marriage, Lord Windermere took a government assignment out of the country. Since then, she has been hanging out with her friends and basically living her life as she wants with no husband to answer to.

Damian, Lord Windermere, didn’t want to get married but found it was the only way that he could get the deed to his mother’s home from the owner. He lost the deed to his mother’s home during a card game with one of his best friends. Unfortunately, that friend lost it to someone else later that night. The owner would only give it back to Damian if he married the owner’s niece.

During their time apart, Cynthia has spent a lot of time with Damian's former best friend. Now that Damian is back, he forbids Cynthia from spending time with him.  Even though Damian believes she has been unfaithful to him, Cynthia just couldn't bring herself to have an affair.

Even though Damian never wanted this marriage he finds himself falling for his wife. Can he make this a real marriage after that way he had treated his wife?

I really enjoyed this story. Cynthia has been a secondary character in the previous stories and what little information we were given about her, had me on pins and needles waiting for her story. She has had an on-going flirtation with the Duke of Danford, who use to be one of her husband’s best friends. I also wanted to know why Damian married Cynthia and then soon abandoned her. Neville did not disappoint me! 

We see Damian come back into his wife’s life and demanding that she end her affair with Danford. She is not willing to do so (even though it never got physical). Damian was not around for her and Danford was.  She is not willing to give up her friendship.  I really liked that she stood up for herself and didn't let Damian run all over her.  The story also included the dynamics of Damian's relationship with his former friends. Cynthia had become friends with them and had one type of relationship with them and then Damian had to re-establish his relationships. This added another level to the plot development.

Neville's next story in the series is the Duke of Danford's. I can't wait to read it!!

You can get this book at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and iTunes.
