Everything Mary Balogh writes is worth reading, but this is one of her earlier efforts I believe, and it shows a bit. It takes place during the Crimean War, about 50 years after the Regency era. I thought the obstacles and misunderstandings keeping the H&H apart were too dragged out. The heroine especially was kind of thick-headed about realizing the truth of the situation, and distressingly conventional in her attitudes. It was all a bit too Victorian for me. The hero was too self-sacrificing and long-suffering to be true, and the ending that allowed them to be together was hardly believable, unless you think a person can undergo a sudden character change overnight. Still, Balogh's trademark style is here, and she writes very well. I'd give it 3 stars.
