Lord Melton and his Duchess, 4th book of The Duke's Brothers, was about His Grace Charles Melton, the Duke of Waign, and his wife Emma, the Duchess of Waign. (Side note: This book was clearly first and foremost mistitled. A Duke is NEVER called Lord, so the title should have been something like "The Duke and His Duchess, or His Grace and His Duchess. Very bad beginning to the last book in the series.) Charles and Emma had been married for more than 10 years in what was an arranged marriage. Theirs had not been a love match. The couple had been blessed with three beautiful daughters, ages nine, six, and a toddler. While Charles was in London seeing to Parliamentary duties, Emma and the girls had stayed behind at their country estate in Weymouth. During a visit to the club one night, Charles overheard a conversation about his duchess and his cousin, Joseph, the Earl of Lundham spending an inordinate amount of time together at events and on walks in public. This fueled a jealous rage in Charles, even though he didn't believe he loved her, for he felt betrayed by Emma, thinking she had been unfaithful. Charles then determined to return to the country estate to confront her. Joseph, for his part, had always been inappropriate with Emma and didn't bother hiding his pursuit of her, long before she and Charles had ever married. Emma shared her discomfort with her sisters- and brothers-in-law, asking them to assist her in keeping Joseph at bay. (Another side note: Thomas' wife was NOT Abigail, but Rebecca. The author should know this as they were her own creation...right?) Once again, the author had issues with quite a few grammatical errors, as was apparent in the other three books in the series. This was definitely a huge distraction from the story. After Charles had confronted Emma with his accusations of infidelity, After the terrible argument that followed his accusation, Emma received a letter from her father saying her mother was gravely ill. She informed Charles that she would take their daughters with her for a visit but that she did not want him to go with her. She said they needed the time apart. This story had a lot of drama and angst, but, unlike most of the other books in the series, there was more chemistry and passion. Perhaps the reason for that is the fact that the two main characters had been married for over a decade already when the story started. Even though this was the best book, by far, of the series, it still lacked structural integrity. The flow of the story, as in all the other books, just didn't flow right. All four books felt as though something was missing, or left out...kind of like a jigsaw puzzle that had several pieces missing. A 3.5-star rating is the best I can give this book though.
