Mary Balogh (received through NetGalley)
4.5 stars
I have read many historical romances this summer and this
may rank as my favorite so far. This is
a true love story in every sense of the word.
Major Sir Benedict Harper meets Samantha when his horse almost lands on
her after jumping a hedge. This
contentious start sets them up for a beautiful friendship as both attempt to
find their place after surviving tragedy.
Samantha is recently widowed after serving as nurse for her demanding
injured husband for many years. Ben, also
severely injured by war, has spent the past years recovering and coping and now
must decide how to live the rest of his life.
These are realistic and extremely likable characters whose relationship
builds as the book progresses. Overall,
this is a well written, beautifully plotted historical romance. I received this book from NetGalley in
exchange for an honest review.
