Highly recommend this book

das buch ist so gut zu lesen, daß ich sofort nach den anderen "braydon"-bänden gesucht habe - die es natürlich leider noch nicht gibt! :-(der held schwelgt ein bißchen sehr in selbstmitleid, aber seine bezaubernde frau treibt ihm das sicher bald aus, die kann das genauso wenig leiden wie ich.

After her brother’s death in the Napoleanic wars, Sophie is unceremoniously removed from her home by her avaricious cousin. With little other option, she accepts a marriage of honor from her brother’s good friend, James, Earl of Exmoor. In this novella, Ms Platt manages to create believable and heart-warming characters that had me rooting for their ultimate HEA. A fully satisfying read.
