This is my third ST novel, and I definitely enjoyed this one more than Ravishing the Heiress (which everyone seems to talk about). The thing about ST novels is that I find the premise for each book pretty ridiculous, but ultimately I love the emotions and the journeys she puts the characters on. Her characters are not simple people, and they do make horrible mistakes, but I’m here for drama and entertainment.
For this book, I think I needed more of a reason for the MMC to commit the betrayal he did. You can’t tell me this dude loved her basically his entire life (unbeknownst to her), and then he did what he did for almost no reason. Even still, overall I enjoyed the story.

5 for the romance and the characters; 3 for the setting -- it seemed as if this could have been set in any foreign country that England had been at war with. Why India?

Second chance at forever
While I'm not a fan of his crimes, I am forgiving...
Maybe not 100% at first but apparently I can change too. Bryony has quite the reputation and her hisband made it seem more bearable until it didn't. Running away was her way of dealing. Running from their marriage, the continent, and any reminders of her former life.
I would say too bad she didn't run far enough but that would be a lie. I am very happy that Leo found her and redeemed himself. I'm glad they both chose trust and forgiveness...eventually.
But grudge holders don't worry you have plenty of time to shake your head in disdain, lose your cool at both of them, and fall head over heals from The Marsdens.
