Hugh’s powerful father ordered Daniel killed Daniel fled the country, and after years of maneuvering Hugh finally convinced his father to back off so that Daniel could come back. Hugh was also wounded in the duel, with the result that he has a permanent, and painful, limp. In this book, our hero, Hugh, deals with the aftermath of having shot his friend Daniel (not fatally) during a duel. I won’t be forgetting this one any time soon. Luckily, The Sum of All Kisses is very emotionally powerful, and has great characterization, plus it is beautifully structured, and funny. And I reviewed one of those books, which doesn’t speak well for its emotional impact. I’m serious I had to look them up just to see who they were about.
I say this with great confidence, because although I did read the preceding two books, I can’t remember anything about them. The Sum of All Kisses is the third book in the Regency period Smythe-Smith quartet. This book is like really, really good cake, the kind that is beautiful to look at and delicious to taste and not too sweet and wonderfully filling. At one point in The Sum of All Kisses, our characters eat wedding cake that is frosted with beautiful lavender flowers.
