Product Description
The outrageously wealthy Duke of Castleford has little incentive to curb his profligate ways, but when a bequest adds a small florist to his vast holdings he meets its cooly mysterious owner. Daphne Joyes is cooly mysterious and exquisitely beautiful - and utterly scathing toward a man of Castleford's stamp. Then Daphne makes a discovery that changes everything. She and Castleford have one thing in common: a profound hatred for the Duke of Becksbridge. Never before were two people less likely to form an alliance - or to fall in love.

What a fitting end to a great series. I enjoyed all the previous books, but this one was my particular favourite. I loved the funny and sensual interactions between Daphne and Castleford, especially her insistence of a clean bill of health from his Doctor and the gathering of his friends to witness the ritual destruction of the famous bed!I also liked the fact that previous characters were not forgotten, including Hawkeswells continuous irritation with Castleford's salacious lifestyle and even more so when he started to change. I was also pleased that Castleford never totally reformed. Excellent!

This is the last in the Rarest Blooms series with Castleford and Daphne.
Tristan, the Duke of Castleford, has inherited the house Daphne Joyes is living in from the Duke of Becksbridge. This surprised him, as he never liked Becksbridge, nor his son, Latham. He's instantly drawn to her beauty, but Daphne knows about his wild reputation. He toys with her, neither letting her know if he'll let her continue living there or not. Despite her cool mask she has long used, she finds herself beginning to let her guard down around him. Knowing this, he steps up his game, but then she tries to find other excuses not to be with him, including the fact he might have 'diseases,' from all the women he's been with. He tells her he's clean and even says a doctor will confirm it. He tries to get one to write a long letter, telling her how he's in the best health and he should know as he visits the same brothels (which the doctor doesn't).
Daphne and Castleford have their own reasons to hate Becksbridge and Latham. Over time, they have a relationship, and Castleford feels things he's never had before. He offers marriage, but doesn't propose and she turns him down. Daphne wants revenge for what has happened to her and the other victims, and when the truth is revealed publically, Latham goes into hiding. But Daphne has another surprise at the end, which just seems to spoil the whole story. There were no hints in the story that there was another revelation, and it just seemed like it was added for a filler. I won't explain too much, but if you read it, you'll see why.
I skipped Albrighton and Celia's book, as this one was meant to be better. However, I'm staying away from Madeline Hunter at the moment and will come back to read it another time.
3/5

I have enjoyed all Madeline Hunter's novels but I think this has to be my favourite. I love Castleford and the way he was gradually introducted in the three other books in the series, just enough to whet our appetites and prepare us for his own story which does not disappoint. I think Daphne will have her work cut out to keep him in line but think she is up to the challenge.
