Such good angst! And banter! Misunderstandings and a protective hero and a brave and interesting and insecure heroine... this one was right up my alley!! ( )

I enjoyed this book. I had a vague feeling that I had read it before. This author does a pretty good job with the time period. There was one silly misunderstanding at the end that was a bit trite but pretty well done overall. ( )

Just love everything about this. Love both H and h. ( )

Reading this book reminded me of why I fell in love with the regency romance subgenre, with well drawn characters and a nicely executed plot. This is one I will keep. ( )

It's fluff, of course, but very _good_ fluff. Some of Anne Gracie's books leave me cold, but the good ones are excellent and this is one of them. A wounded soldier - physically and emotionally - and a woman who knows that by the dictates of her culture she's a permanent outcast. Both fiery-tempered, both certain that the other could and will do better; complications of money, friends, and enemies. A few misunderstandings (which I tend to dislike), but more silence than misconstrued words. It had me crying at several points, including the end - and laughing at several others. His grandmother's flat out lies are only a minor distraction from an excellent story. I'll have to try more Gracies, and see if I can figure out a pattern to find the good ones. ( )
