![]() It was interesting to “meet” the Philip “pre-Marianne” and see what a hard job she really had in turning him around. ![]() It was so great to be taken back to the wonderful world found in Edenbrooke. I was so excited to know that we would get a look at this story from Philip’s viewpoint. Edenbrooke quickly became one of my favorite novels after I read it a few years ago. This novelette from Philip’s perspective is so wonderful, I just wish, along with all of Julianne Donaldson’s other fans, that this had been a full length novel. But all that changes the night fate leads him to an inn, where he meets the incomparable Marianne Daventry. Philip takes on his new role as the most sought-after bachelor in London with alternating reluctance, boredom, and resentment. ![]() But when his older brother dies unexpectedly, Philip’s life is turned upside down as duty requires him to give up the life he planned. He would much rather carve out his own destiny than live under the constraints of that position. Philip Wyndham has never envied his older brother for being the heir to Edenbrooke.
