*I was provided a copy by the author in exchange for my honest review
This is much more than just a romance its about two people that have suffered heartbreak, loss and need to heal and find each other. Both have been on downward spirals at different times and needed to grow and find each other again. I loved everything because of the raw emotion and how they both had horrible witnessed things that made them grow and change. They needed each other because they understood each other.
Lettie is a strong woman that is stronger than she thinks after what she has seen and done. She saved soldiers lives and saw more death than anyone in London can understand so they push her to be like them again. I kept cheering her on hoping she would find peace soon.
Danial was on his way to ruin when he witnessed a horrible thing that turned him sober. He changed in many ways but still had hints of the man she knew. It was easy to understand why he had acted the way he did before she left, but no one realized why or understood.
This one is high on my favorite list and a must read.

I must be missing something, everyone seems like love this book. I finished it feeling something I rarely feel when I'm done with a book: that I wasted my time.
I found Lettie to be inconsistent and boring and the story was incredibly repetitive.
Am I supposed to find Daniel to be supportive? Because I didn't think he was at all - I thought he was pushy and kinda desperate in an unhealthy way.

Christina McKnight does a wonderful job handling characters who easily fall in love. In this book she does an even better job of handling 2 wounded characters. Daniel, Duke of Linwood and Lettie, Lady Collette Hughes had been promised since childhood. Right before her come out, Daniel's father died and it put him in a tailspin. When Lettie's come out was so successful that her dance card was always full it sent him into a downward spiral of drinking, gambling and whoring. Lettie's frustration led her to fall in love with Gregory Hughes. She broke her betrothal to Daniel and followed Gregory to fight Napoleon.
Six years later, she returns as a widow but what she has seen can't be forgotten and she can't just jump back into the London scene. In the meantime, Daniel has cleaned up his act. Unlike her parents who want to ignore it, he recognizes Lettie's pain and wants to help her.
Watching the two work through their pain and help each other is a beautiful piece of fiction and Christina McKnight is to be applauded to show that not just soldiers are affected by war and they was that Daniel helps Lettie through the pain is well written.
