A Lady for Lord Randall by Sarah Mallory
5.0
After completing the series, I am bumping the star rating up to 4.5 stars (rounded up by GR to 5 stars).
What a great start to the trilogy! I read this from start to finish in a day, growling at people who dared to interrupt my reading. Mary Endacott is a layered, wonderful heroine and Justin (Earl Randall) was a loveable grump. Their story is rich in emotion, a bit of angst, and suspense. It was nice having a smart heroine who also had social graces and could work a room without playing a dim-bulb. Justin's military leadership was put to the test and his scene with Gideon after the battle of Quatre Bras was a tear jerker. I think he could have put a little more effort into his grovel at the end, but I really rooted for this couple to get their HEA.
One of the reasons I wanted to read this series is that, unlike most Regencies, this one dealt with the war with Napleon in a real sense, so the inane frippery that is found in parlors or ballrooms isn't here. So if you are looking for a something different in Regency romance, I would recommend this book.
