Un altro bel libro della serie che racconta le vicende della bellissima Lady Morgan, la più giovane dei Bedwyn, e del conte Gervase Ashford che, inizialmente, vedrà in lei il mezzo perfetto per compiere finalmente la sua vendetta per quanto subito in passato dal fratello.
Sullo sfondo della battaglia di Waterloo un’altra storia avvincente ed emozionante.

The closer look at the wartime setting and the friendship that developed before love between Morgan and Gervase kept this Bedwyn story fresh. I liked how straightforward, unbowed, and even confrontational Morgan could be. I knew Gervase’s motive for meeting her would eventually come to light, but I was still hoping I was wrong (reader, I wasn’t). Although there was that one predictable element, most of Morgan’s actions were unpredictable, which I liked. I felt a bit skeptical of how philosophical and wise beyond her years Morgan was, but I think Balogh made a decent case for why she might be so. The first major love scene was vexing, and I didn’t think it was consistent with Gervase’s character—as a good guy and a gentleman, I think it would have made more sense if he had recognized her vulnerability and comforted her a different way. That was the moment the book went from 5 stars to 4 for me.
As always, I love when the larger Bedwyn family shows up and helps the new lovers on their way. I missed Wulf in this one, but under the circumstances of his relationship with Gervase, I don’t think he could have had more of a presence than he did. I’m surprised Balogh left things as she did with Alleyne when this was first written. I was expecting him to show up at the wedding and make everything deliriously happy. I’m sure all her readers knew exactly who that lone man standing outside the house was at the end, though.
I’m not madly in love with amnesia stories, but since I love the Bedwyns, I am looking forward to Alleyn’s book. (

Cultivada, independiente, arrebatadora… Mientras observa a lady Morgan Bedwyn en un salón de baile en Bruselas, Gervase Ashford decide que esta exquisita joven es una tentación demasiado irresistible. Aparte, desde luego, de ser el instrumento perfecto para vengarse del hombre que injustamente le destruyó la vida y le obligó a marcharse de Inglaterra: Wulfric Bedwyn, el hermano mayor y cabeza de familia. Por fin, después de largos años de exilio, el destino ha ofrecido a Gervase la oportunidad de mostrarse ligeramente seductor y disfrutar de una dulce venganza… hasta que el estallido de la guerra y el espíritu libre e indomable de Morgan cambian todos sus sentimientos.

2nd read- I gave this 5 stars originally, but I'm a little bit surprised, rereading it. I hadn't recalled how late in the book a particular betrayal continued, and I felt quite dismayed. I'm not sure if I misrated it at the time, or if I was distracted and somehow didn't catch parts before?, but I'm usually not that forgiving. lol. It's easier when the betrayals are before the characters really know each other or develop feelings. Anyway, this read. I think the first act in Brussels is my favorite. It's interesting to see a peek into that history, and it shows how the heroine is more than just beautiful and aristocratic. Also this book is a bit steamy for a Balogh, which is a plus for me. Several character choices (for both main characters) were questionable, either just a poor choice in general, or one I didn't find quite believable for that character. But overall I was entertained.
