It is the perfurme that turns the sides and develops love.There is a unusal twist in the last part and the book is another fun installment of the series.

You would say its too soon to feel this way .You would ask how I could be so certain.But some things can't be measured by time.Ask me an hour from now.Ask me a month from now.A year,ten years,a lifetime.The way I love you will outlast every calendar,clock,and evert toll of every bell that will ever be cast.

The letter which Rafe wrote was extraordinary and it won't be much to say it was the best part .And the book also give us the glimpses of happily settled wallflowers whuch is really adorable.
I was really very dissapointed to see the end of the series because the wallflowers have become friends that brighten my life but I know I can revist them whenever I want.
Want to read something really sweet then the series is for you .I loved all the books in the series but The Devil In winter is my favourite.
