Kester Barrington likes to be alone and prefers the peace and quiet of his estate to the bustle of Society. His tight-knit group of friends, the Gents, know better than to leave him alone for long. They descend on his home for their annual gathering and Kester stoically joins in the activities. It is all exhausting until he meets an unexpected guest to the party, his new neighbor Violet. She has a happy disposition and he tends to be grumpy but that doesn't stop these opposites from being drawn to each other.
This is the second book in the Gents series and I loved getting to know the characters better. The Gents are an amazing group of friends who strengthen each other and have lots of fun along the way. I wish I could be part of their group. I love how Sarah Eden builds such amazingly real characters that face mental and physical challenges. It's not often that one of the main characters has a prosthetic arm, and I like how she normalizes that.

Although this is by the same author, it is a totally different group of characters. One of the main characters also deals with a prosthetic limb in addition to the emotional effects of war.
