This story is of man that is no longer himself and never will be. Belle is a woman who needs to marry to get out from under her aunt's guardianship. Although, there is something between Edward and her, she sets her caps on Mr. Nibley. He is nice and wouldn't it be wonderful to live in a house with someone who wasn't vulgar, bullying and money grubbing. Edwards falls into her trap, instead of Mr. Nibley and it's of his own making. I love that Belle is determine to be a wife and help her husband cross back into the land of the living. She accepts that it will be a long and difficult road, but is willing to make the sacrifice to have a happy home. We know that Edward is not a bad man, just an angry and guilt-ridden one. The problem with the story is Edward's character in the beginning is not the same one as in the last book. I'm only hoping that maybe the author's intent was to show that he had manage to get some control over himself as he plans the ball for when his sister returns from her honeymoon. Even for a Marquess, Edward is quite vulgar at times, and I end up shaking my head that anyone would even grace themselves to come to a ball at the Marquess's home.
