Carrie Lomax is a new author to me. I was fortunate to receive an ARC of Isabelle which is the fifth book in the Vice and Virtue series. Although I haven't read any of the previous stories, Isabelle can be read as a stand alone. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Lady Isabelle Kingston entraps Silas, Earl of Huntley, by kissing him in an open balcony. Silas is now furious with his unwanted wife and punishes her by ignoring her and mistreating her. Isabelle was initially glad to have married Silas but his indifference to her makes her run away from him to a bawdy house where she learns to discover her personality. As Silas attempts to retrieve his errant wife, he also learns that she is more than what is outwardly visible and that there is more to his entrapment than he believes. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the awkwardness of Isabelle and her character development throughout the story.

This story is incredible! I love Isabelle. She is awkward, uncomfortable and still keeps on moving forward. I enjoyed the Flowers returning and how they interact with those around them. I can't wait for the next two books in the series to see how the overarching Belladonna story plays out. Ooh, this one was exquisite!
