Sweet little Regency story well written and edited, but for one HUGE error. The hero is a soldier with a missing leg which was removed when he was wounded in a battle at the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Repeatedly he states this battle was at Trafalgar. Sheesh. This is beyond bad writing and wanders into the realm of stupid.It also shows the author is definitely not English or given to checking facts. Maybe she went to London and was impressed by Trafalgar Square and then assumed...and you know what assuming does. FYI - Trafalgar was a naval battle in 1805, ten years before the end on the Napoleonic Wars. Nelson died there and it is a battle as important to British history as the defeat of the Spanish Armada (in 1588 for the author's information).Oh, and it was very hard to check my facts. I went to Wikipedia and typed in Trafalgar.
