A Waltz on the Wild Side (Wild Wynchesters #6) by Erica Ridley
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Vivian Henry is a bold, caring and highly intelligent young woman. As a child she escaped Demerara after her mother died in a slave uprising. She is guardian to her nephew Quentin and keeps house for him. Quentin is the illegitimate son of Viscount Ayleswick. He has a small trust that enables him to rent a modest house.
Vivian earns a very underwhelming amount by being an anonymous advice columnist. She has quite a following, and who would use their given name for such a column? Vivian’s true passion is writing plays. She’s sent them to every conceivable theater in London and beyond—none have been accepted.
Quentin adores the Wynchesters. He and his friends form a secret society and try to emulate them. Vivian is scornful of the Wynchesters and of Quentin’s efforts. As she sees it the Wynchesters are rich and powerful, but Quentin would not be so lucky if he were to be arrested, being who he is.
When Quentin disappears after disguising himself as Baron Vanderbean, the Winchester's non existent uncle, Vivian finds herself turning to the despised Wynchesters for help. She finds herself in a completely different group from what she’d imagined the Wynchesters to be. And then there’s Jacob Wynchester! Vivian is totally undone by him—not that she’ll let that show. And Jacob has his own secrets.
A delightful romp complete with zany yet well meaning characters. But the dark underbelly of Slavery is a thread woven throughout.
