The Brigadier's Runaway Bride by Erica Ridley
4.0
Three and a half stars.
Sarah Fairfax is on the verge of saying "I Do" to the Duke of Ravenwood when Edmund Blackpool, the lover everyone thought had died at Waterloo returns. Eight and a bit months pregnant Sarah risks giving birth out of wedlock until Ravenwood facilitates a special licence.
This is a wry look at becoming a parent through the historical lens. Sarah and Edmund struggle with being parents with no support and when they are relative strangers to each other. In addition, Edmund bears a lot of anger about the way in which all his friends and family, as he thinks of it, left him for dead. Added to that is Sarah's natural anxiety about her figure after giving birth.
These novellas are fun, not very authentic historicals, very easy easy reading.
