I absolutely loved reading about Malcolm Sinclair's second chance. I thought SL handled his path to redemption wonderfully - instead of making a complete 180, Malcolm still struggled to overcome his default responses/mindset, but he was very believably motivated to make significant changes to his character. I really enjoyed Rose's character and her interactions with the children, with Malcolm, and Malcolm's interactions with the children. It was just uncomfortable enough to be believable and then natural enough to be completely sweet. Their romance was very sweet without being too overdone and was a very enjoyable read. I even liked Rose and the children's backstory and how they reached this point in their lives. I wasn't a huge fan of their love scenes - they didn't need to explicit, but the cliche, over-blown, romance-novel-descriptions were eye-roll-worthy - lots of torrents of passion, welling waves of pleasure, and passion-storms and so on. But whatever. The first half of the book was SL at her best and was one of the more enjoyable books she's written.
But then Barnaby and friends got involved and everything just went downhill from there. Let me preface this by saying that I really do not like these new Barnaby Adair Casebook investigations. I actually liked Barnaby back when he was originally introduced and didn't mind the investigations back when he did his investigating off-page and just reported back to the main characters. But if the format of the second half of this book and format of The Masterful Mr. Montague are going to be her go-to, I will not be reading any more investigation stories. The principle characters - Malcolm and Rose - practically disappear once Barnaby and Stokes and their wives take over.Read more ›

LOVING ROSE: THE REDEMPTION OF MALCOLM SINCLAIR is the third book in the Barnaby Adair series which deals with the investigations of Barnaby Adair and his wife Penelope. They have been joined by several friends who now investigate as a team. While placed in this series, this book is actually a sequel to the Cynster series book, THE TASTE OF INNOCENCE. In that book, the villain Malcolm Sinclair falls to his apparent death at the end of the book. In LOVING ROSE Sinclair has barely survived and comes through the five years of recuperation a changed man. He has taken up his alter ego Thomas Glendower and goes out to discover what penance he must satisfy for his prior misdeeds.
When Thomas arrives at his home, he discovers that a widow and her two children. Rose is his new housekeeper but Thomas soon realizes that she has some dark secret that she is hiding. That secret brings the two together, brings them to London and to the attention of Adair and his investigative group and ultimately requires Thomas to confront his past.
I loved this story of Malcolm Sinclair's redemption. The story does not rush the transformation of Malcolm into Thomas. It also clearly demonstrates that Thomas feels remorse for his past. I believe this book works better after reading THE TASTE OF INNOCENCE because in truth the transformation begins in that book. In this book Thomas is really the star. While Rose has a plant character, she is really more of a catalyst for Thomas and I felt the real drama of the book was Thomas's journey.
Rose's secret provides the mystery that Adair and his cohorts investigate. While it was nice to see these characters again, once again, they seemed to really serve to demonstrate the transformation of Thomas.Read more ›

I was pleasantly surprised by the first half of the book: the romance developed better than I could have hoped for after reading the second installment of the Casebook of Barnaby Adair series, The Masterful Mr. Montague: A Casebook of Barnaby Adair Novel.
The new incarnation of Malcolm, Thomas Glendower, is a changed man: kind, self-effacing, and capable gentleman with all the markings of a true beta hero. Returning to an estate he purchased in Beyond Seduction to await his final penance for the sins committed as Malcolm, he finds a widowed housekeeper with two children in need of his help. Unequal stations prevent the new Malcolm from pursuing Rose despite the growing physical attraction, and it is up to Rose to make the first move. All through the book, she is the driving force behind the romance and she ultimately becomes Malcolm's last salvation. In other words, it would have been a five-star book for me if the murder mystery hadn't been such a disappointment.
A major spoiler follows, so do not read any further if you'd rather follow the story to see whodunit.
The entire team of investigators - Barnaby, Stokes and the gang - believed the children's uncle to be the villain based on the conversation Rose overheard after the funeral of her mother and stepfather and the assumption that his motive was the inheritance. They spend days in fruitless search for a financial motive to prove his culpability, even when it was becoming increasingly clear he did not fit the profile. And no one checked Debrett's.Read more ›
