A warm hearted book of a young couple struggling to find their place in life. Abigail, a beautiful young woman, wants to improve the lives of the less fortunate and finds working in a foundling home most satisfying. Colton has returned from fighting Napoleon and is scarred in both body and spirit. Guilt is overwhelming him-guilt for the young men he could not save, and for the death of his father that occurred while he was gone, as he thinks HE was the cause of his father’s death. But his heart is as warm and caring as is Abigail’s, and he becomes involved in the ladies helping the foundlings.
Abigail has involved herself with a young man, but unbeknownst to her and her family, he has amassed great gambling debts, which her dowry would go along way in alleviating. When she declines to marry him rapidly, he kidnapps her to run off to Gretna Green for a quick wedding. Guess who her family sends to rescue her? Colton!
Each one rescues the other, in a way. Colton physically rescues Abby, but Abby’s loving patience slowly softens the scarred inner man and allows him to forgive himself and forget his outer scars enough to allow him to function as the man he truly is-one caring very much about the less fortunate. In addition to the “beauty and the beast” variation, the kidnapping of Abby, the restoration of a country home and its inhabitants, we also have a journey to America, making this an enjoyable story.
There is no profanity, nor any explicit scenes in the book, making it appropriate for readers of all ages.

I was pleasantly surprised when I read this Regency. Its not the norm for past regencies that I’ve read. Colton returns from the Napoleon War disfigured and when he meets Abigail he thinks her attitude is due to his looks. However, he quickly learns its his attitude. Lady Abigail comes across as a spoiled young lady but Colton soon discovers there is more to her than he though. He tries to stay away from social events and when someone says something about him and he over hears them it only makes matters worse. Then there is an admirer for Lady Abigail’s hand. When things get out of control Colton is asked to help.
If you enjoy the Regency era then you will love this clean, sweet romance with plenty of obstacles thrown in. I received this book from the author with no expectations on my review. All opinions are my own. I would have given a 4.5 star rating but unfortunately book reviews aren’t set up for that. I read the book in a couple of sittings and enjoyed this new author’s (to me) writing style.
