Oh Yay! What a wonderful book! The Mysterious Miss M by: Diane Gaston is very close to a trad. Reg. if it isn't one. I'm not sure if the subject matter disqualifies it or not. There are love scenes plenty since the heroine isn't a virgin. They aren't explicit in any way, though. This beautiful love story revives the romantic in me. After reading too many contemp. suspense/erotica titles it was needed.
Madeline (Maddie) is as innocent as a gambling prize can be. Devlin is a wonderfully real man making some foolish mistakes out of love and lack of experience. He scrambles for all he is worth to find solutions to the problems of those he loves. I had to go kiss my husband in his sleep at the thought of him facing a similar situation.
There is very little angst between the h/h. Some but very little. The enemies are from outside. A Harl. Hist. Regency, I probably would never have read it if it hadn't been recommended to me.

Great Read!!!
Have not been disappointed by any of the Gaston aka Perkins books yet.
Read them all!
They are not easy to find, in my area anyway.

The Mysterious Miss M is a living male fantasy--alluring, sensual, masked. But when Lord Devlin Steele finds himself responsible for her-- and her child-- he comes to know the real Maddy: the loving, passionate woman who drives away the nightmares of the waterloo battlefield.
But the aristocratic soldier can't support his new family. He will inherit his fortune only on marriage to a suitable lady-- and Maddy is far from suitable. With the dangers of London's underworld closing in, how can he protect the woman he has come to love?

Harlequin Historical romantic fiction..set in Regency England 1812
A very intense book, startling and a bit shocking in what looks like an ordinary regency historical. I was very caught up in it, and though afterwards I had a few waitaminnit moments, it certainly held my interest. We see a bit of the seedy side of regency town life up close -- forced prostitution, gambling addiction, alcoholism -- matters Georgette Heyer couldn't have gone near in her day. To say more would be spoilers.
