I loved Gertrude and Edwin's story!!

Gertrude demands that she be able to stay with Edwin when her adopted brother (his son) is return to him. Edwin fights it, but finally agrees. Gertrude just wants to make sure that her brother gets settled in and knowing that she will forever be separated from him, wants to spend as much time with him as possible.

Edwin finally has his son back and he couldn't be happier about it, except that the daughter of the man that kidnapped him has worked her way into his life. As much as he wants to hate Gertrude, their is just something about her that speaks to him. Can he ever get passed who her family is?

I've been waiting for Gertrude to get her HEA for what feels like forever and Caldwell didn't disappoint!! I'm so glad to see her finally come into her own and shine within her family!

While just as beautifully written as all the previous books in this series, "The Bluestocking" has a bit slower and has a much more sad feeling to it. The heartbreak that Edwin has felt for so long, all the guilt and blame and horrific prejudices that society lays on Gertrude and her family combine in this installment. It is not a light and happy story to read.

Still, Ms. Caldwell works her magic and through all the sad, a beautiful relationship grows - two, actually. Because, as Edwin's heart is slowly being softened (and that is NOT an easy task!) so too is his relationship with his son taking root. Kudos to Ms. Chase for penning a story that can break a heart and give one hope all at the same time!
