I really enjoyed this story set during the Napoleonic Wars. There is a bit of angst which I like. This was more of a traditional regency as the people acted correctly for their times and did not hop in and out of bed with impunity. Well written with good feel for the times, very clear descriptions etc. The plot made sense and the pacing etc., was good. The hero was very noble and I quite liked him and the heroine was a charming sensible girl.

thanks, willaful for the recommend. (
