I'm often disappointed when I anticipate a book about a character I love. However, this one was on point and then some. I loved Devil's Daughter. I like how Phoebe changed her mind so quickly about West. She realized that you couldn't hold a person's childhood actions against them forever.
I loved the children and the way they took to West immediately. Children often sense a person's true nature. They knew West was a person to trust. West was a fun person for the kids to be around.
West! He was so full of self-hate that it hurt my heart. He couldn't see any way to have Phoebe for the long term and knew no one else could take her place. I love that Sebastian understood West and helped get him to see the error in his thoughts.
I really liked it, and it lived up to my expectations. I especially loved Phoebe. I think that even though she loved Henry, she was forced to live a role that didn't fit her, to be something she wasn't. With West she became the person she was meant to be.
Like Sharon, I'm sometimes disappointed when I've built up a story in my mind which just doesn't pan out when I read the book. This one didn't disappoint me at all. I loved both West and Phoebe. They were fantastic characters who deserved a happy ending. I'm usually not a fan of the "I'm not good enough for her" theme, but it didn't annoy me this time around.
Phoebe really was completely out of West's league. She was the daughter of a Duke; he was an untitled gentleman with no wealth of his own. Add to that his disreputable reputation. He was right to think he didn't deserve her - he didn't, at least in society's eyes.

The romance surpassed my expectations and they were pretty high. West’s relationship with Phoebe’s children was so heartwarming. They are already showing up as a family.
