It was similar in some ways to The Lady's Companion. This also didn't shy away from some darker aspects of being a POW. Some moments were definitely not as hardcore as Daughter of Fortune but be prepared for the bleakness in the prison.
I found the main characters engaging but the villain of the piece was a bit over the top for me and the ending I felt was a bit rushed.
(view spoiler)[I didn't care for the bait and switch with the secondary characters and felt that the overtop villain really took away from the story for me (hide spoiler)]
If you're a Carla Kelly fan or like your regency/historicals with some gritty realism and a sweet romance I'd recommend this to you. It's available now for early release on the HQN ebook site if you don't feel like waiting until mid-May....more
