These Violet Delights by Madeleine Roux ~ a Review

by MK French

Violet Arden is a burgeoning painter whose debut in London ended in scandal when an illicit affair with her art instructor is exposed. She flees to her cousin Emilia Graddock's country estate, but once there, she meets Alasdair Kerr, who had belittled her work in front of family and friends. Alasdair is back in the country to rebuild the family estate that had burned and taken his father's life. His younger brother Freddie keeps visiting the Graddock home, and his mother brought an overbearing clergyman into their home who appears determined to stay. While Violet is determined to ignore Alasdair, the two bond in their attempts to end Emilia and Freddie's secret relationship. New fires threaten their safety, so Violet and Alasdair also join forces to find the arsonist. Can they ignore the feelings kindling between them?
