the smythe smith quartet the sum of all kisses

Overall I’m not sorry I read this one, but I wouldn’t call it my most favorite book. It’s just that there are other moments that made me want to skip ahead too. Sarah is a delightful character and there are many sweet, clever, and funny moments in the book. But time and patience and kisses close the distance until one day Sarah stands like a lioness at his side and takes on his father. Poor Hugh, doesn’t know what he ever did to get Sarah to be so mad at him, especially since he’s made great in-roads with her sisters and that too confined in a carriage as they travel across the countryside. Of course, in her mind, no blame attaches to her cousin who was the one who shot and crippled Hugh. Her whole take on life where Hugh owes her because thanks to him she’s still a spinster and has to suffer through playing a musical instrument with her cousins as genteel after-dinner entertainment. I find Sarah a very interesting character. As if that’s not enough, now Daniel and Hugh want to patch up their differences and she’s got to welcome him to her home and take special care of him. Sarah’s gripe with Hugh is that his duel with her cousin Daniel caused such a scandal that her family had to delay her coming out to the following year, leading to a loss of thirty potential suitors.
