I really loved Phoebe and Tony's story.  They meet when Phoebe is being attacked by two unscrupulous characters after having been thrown by her horse.  Tony comes to the rescue.  He is a veteran of the Napoleonic war and suffered an injury which caused him to lose a leg.  To add insult to injury, his no good fiancée then promptly dumps him before he was even released from the hospital!  There is instant attraction on the part of Phoebe for Tony, and he for her.  Tony lives in London, but is in Phoebe's home village to settle his inheritance.  After Tony takes Phoebe home, the two don't see each other for a little while, but each is consumed by thoughts of the other.  Phoebe thinks Tony is dashing and couldn't possibly be interested in her.  As for Tony, he too thinks he doesn't stand a chance with Phoebe.  From the time of their second meeting, the story quickly progresses to the HEA.  I must say that this little novella is a very sweet, clean, satisfying romance.  Even Tony's erstwhile fiancée got hers in the end.  I would very much recommend this book as a very enjoyable read for those who enjoy this genre of books.
