In New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Boyle’s fourth novel in the Rhymes With Love series, a resolute young woman goes toe-to-toe with the Beast of Mayfair
She has no desire for love . . .
As she arrives in Mayfair, Louisa Tempest is horrified when her incorrigible cat bolts from the carriage and dashes into a neighbor’s house, where she comes face-to-face with the reclusive Viscount Wakefield. But even more dismaying than his foul temper is the disarray in which she finds his home. Convinced his demeanor would improve if his household were in order, Louisa resolves to put everything to rights.
. . . until she meets the viscount who lives down the lane
Much to his chagrin, Wakefield finds it impossible to keep the meddling Louisa out of his home, invading his daily life with her “improvements,” and his nights with the tempting desires she sparks inside him. Wounded in the war, he’s scorned society ever since his return . . . until Louisa opens the door to his heart and convinces him to give love a second chance.

Summary
The Viscount Who Live Down the Lane By Elizabeth Boyle. This is a historical romance with the main character being a twin. The viscount is hiding in his house after returning from the war and losing his best friend. And he is wounded. Lousa and her crazy cat are able to bring him back to life. I was impressed how the author simulated PSTD in a historical. I felt it was very well done and one of my favorite scenes is when he realizes she sees him as a complete person not as three different individuals like the rest of the world sees him.
The Author leaves a few items still open. I cannot wait to read the next book and find out where her twin sister has been running off to you. And I have high hopes that Tuck has some secret life and what he's been doing.
The Viscount Who Live Down the Lane is part of the rhymes with love series. This was the first book I read in the series and did not feel like I had missed anything. I think it can be read as a standalone. However you are going to want to read the next book with her twin Lavinia.
