MOST EXCELLENT -- TITLES BE HANGED

Titles are important for acuracy but it sure didn't lessen my enjoyment of this book. Most of us uninformed didn't even catch the discrepancie of Kit Montgomery's pilfered title.In that day and age what did a man have if not his honor?Michael Haviland turned out to be a louse but that was to be expected. How could Judith put up with the man?I really enjoyed Kit's subordinates and their confidence in him as a commanding officer and their affection for him.The story of their near excapes from death and danger kept me on edge and not willing to put the book down for any length of time. [gulp] I was sure Judith was going to finally hack off Kits' arm. Thank god for the "healing lady". I find it, in my American upbringing, hard to think of the horrors and deprivation that the women [and men] went through in the Napoleonic wars. And am of the firm belief that millions should be set aside for veterans of all wars. [Take it from the fat-cat politicians]Where is their honor?HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- You will really enjoy the ending to the scandal and conflict of Kit and Judith's life especially when papa, the Earl of Ryde decides to step in.

Best of the best

Usually the error with Kit's name and title would totally turn me off. However, I have loved every book by Gayle Wilson so I kept on reading. I am so glad I did. Kit and Harriet's honor and courage, as well as their commitment to keeping the faith even with the faithless, at the risk not only of reputation but of life itself, made this - in spite of that glaring faux pas - the best, so far, of Ms Wilson's grand regencies.

Another great story by Gayle Wilson

This is the fifth Gayle Wilson Story I read in the past month. I just discovered her great stories and am trying to catch up on all the regencies she's written. The only thing I regret is that the story wasn't longer.

A second son with a title???

As much as I enjoyed this book, I found one inaccuracy particularly jarring. If Kit is a second son, where did his title come from? It doesn't matter how many secondary titles his father has; all of them , without exception, would go to the oldest son, and the second son would get NOTHING. It wouldn't have taken much research to learn this. And let's not use the example of the Duke of Wellington, who was a younger son. He EARNED that dukedom on the battlefield. Somehow I doubt that Kit did that.

Honor is everything,

but sometimes love is more important. Kit, Lord St. John, is proving his worth, his honor, not just the father who had all but given up on him, but also to himself. Then into his life waltzes Judith Haviland, one woman he can never have. In the middle of the horrors of war, love blossoms, an impossible love. Impossible until fate takes things in hand. Kit and Judith's story is a powerful one that pulls on the heart strings. Once again, Gayle Wilson shows her abilities as a story teller and delights her fans with this tale of true love.
