Jan's Reviews > Born to be Wilde

3.5 to 4 stars. Another solid addition to the series. Parth and Lavinia's story. Could stand alone, but probably more enjoyable and makes more sense if you've been reading the series in order (as I have).

Parth is a likeable hero - an orphaned Anglo-Indian child who was raised in England by the Wilde family, almost like another of their (many) sons. He has a good head for business and is already quite a rich man. Lavinia is a talented designer and needlewoman, but both she and others underestimate her skills and abilities.

The path to happiness for Lavinia and Parth as a couple is somewhat rocky. Parth is not good at communicating (or even understanding) his real feelings. Lavinia has a few self-esteem issues, mostly stemming from the under-parenting from her mother, who is addicted to laudanum. But eventually of course they find their way to a HEA. An enjoyable read.
