Kaetrin: Devlin is in love with their neighbour Gwyneth Rhys, daughter of Sir Ifor and Lady Bronwyn Rhys who own a property which borders Ravenswood. He was pretty rigid about duty but he was not humorless or lacking in emotion. Kaetrin: I guess it depends on your definition of “stick in the mud”. Janine: I thought what happens later revealed him to be a bit of a stick in the mud, actually. He’s not a stick in the mud though and he’s also not jealous of his brother constantly outshining him. He’s a serious young man and very self-righteous, valuing duty and integrity and service to those he loves. Devlin’s next younger brother, Nick, has inherited their father’s affable flair but Devlin is more contained and introverted. The earl is vibrant and entrepreneurial, great at socialising and always the life of the party. The book begins in 1808 when Devlin is 22. Ben is now the steward at Ravenswood and he and Devlin run the estates for the earl. He came to live with the Wares as a very young child and appears to have been largely raised with the Ware siblings. There is an older brother, Ben Ellis (and I want his story so much now) who is illegitimate and was born before the earl’s marriage to Devlin’s mother.

I counted a potential of at least 6 more novels in the Ravenswood series.ĭevlin Ware is the eldest legitimate son of the Earl of Stratton, owner of Ravenswood Park in Boscombe. Kaetrin: Remember Love is clearly the beginning of a new series for Balogh – the first chapters introduce a huge cast of characters (so many names!!). Janine and I have reviewed the last few Mary Balogh books together so we decided to continue that tradition with the newest release.
