This is one of Mary Balogh's older books that was recently rereleased. I usually read her books with great enthusiasm, but I find this one wasn't as quick a read. Ellen and Dominic fall in love after Ellen's husband and Dominic's best friend, is killed at Waterloo. Although I liked the characters a great deal, it felt like the timing of the romance was off. It is hard to believe that they would get together when Ellen is so recently widowed, and Dominic can't even rise from his bed! Also, if you have read Balogh's book Slightly Tempted, you may feel as if you are reading some of the same material.

This is the second in the Web series, following the story of the Raine family.
