Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy Regency romances with substance: characters who have real conflicts, not just obstacles placed in their way.
  • You appreciate a heroine who has agency and actual reasons for her choices, even when those choices get tested.
  • You like your romance grounded in historical detail without the book feeling like a textbook.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need constant action or plot twists. This is character-driven Regency romance, not high-stakes adventure.
  • You dislike small-town gossip dynamics or social pressure as central plot elements.
  • You want your Regency heroines to be eager for marriage. Louisa's reluctance might frustrate you.

About this book

The newly widowed Lady Louisa Dembleby is immensely thankful to be released from an awful marriage and vows that she will never marry again. A quiet life of contented freedom with her cherished daughter lies ahead, but her resolution falters when she meets Major Benfield Barkby, recovering from serious wounds sustained fighting in Spain. Against the backdrop of the social season in Bath, gossip, grandmamas and a climatic duel look set to complicate any chance of a happy ever after. Readers love Sophia Holloway:'A true classical Regency romance story, but with a fresh and new feel which brings it right up to date''This was really good, I enjoyed it a lot''I was definitely rooting for Ben and Louisa''It's fresh and engaging ... if you love Regencies with a little extra something, then this is a must, highly recommended from me!'
