![]() ![]() ![]() Aidan takes this promise seriously, and when he returns home to England he finds that she is days away from being forced out her home by a cousin who is set to inherit, unless (and wait for it) she gets married. The basic set-up here is that Colonel Aidan Bedwyn witnesses the death of a fellow soldier at the Battle of Toulouse, right before Napoleon surrendered, and the man (who saved Aidan’s live two years previous) ekes a death bed promise out of him to take care of his sister, no matter what. It didn’t get me in my swooners, but it was nice. Something about the plot, the characters, the writing style, was fine but not compelling. It also didn’t really pull me in emotionally. And it was fine! Utterly normal, nothing surprising. Pulled this one out of my TBR Jar, though, early in January, and it did feel nice to finally get around to it. About five to six years back, I bought a bunch of “classic” aka popular/former bestseller romance novels at my local used bookstore (and by bunch, I mean around twenty to thirty of them in one go) and have barely touched them since because I am a raccoon who is only attracted to shiny things. ![]()
