Helpful Score: 4

A touching Regency Era story of a couple from very different stations in life brought together and torn apart during wartime. After 18 months apart they are suddenly reunited but must struggle to overcome their obvious differences.

Balogh writes convincing characters with...character. They seem to have personalities of their own and realistic strengths and weaknesses. Balogh includes subtleties in personality and situation that gives richness to the genre.

This story was nice in that the characters had realistic worries about each other, and yet they didn't doubt each other very much. Not laden with misunderstandings, the characters simply had apparently insurmountable obstacles in the way of their relationship.

The resolution was obvious pretty early on, but satisfying nonetheless.

Balogh also includes a number of sensual scenes but I'm not a fan of her style in this area. The penetration = orgasm love scene just seems unrealistic to me. I am also tired of characters who are barren.

Story B+
Sensuality - PG13
