Caught behind enemy lines at the Battle of Waterloo, nurse 'Iris Johnston' is forced to seek shelter with British operative Lord Edward Kellington. After a night of passion, the two are separated. With nothing but the alias the heroine used to protect her family, Lord Edward is unable to find the woman he can't forget.This could have been absolutely brilliant - but it wasn't.Littered with americanisms, I was totally pulled out of the story at 14% when a member of the upper classes whilst in conversation with peers said 'dontcha'!!! I laugh now but I didn't find that amusing when I was in the midst of enjoying the tale. Dear Maureen, we don't say 'dontcha' in England now much less back in 18??. Maybe 'don't ya' now but back then there was no way on earth such a 'word' would have come out of anyone's mouth.Also toy store should be toy SHOP - though I'm not convinced we had any top shops back then. And believe me when I say that noone (aristocrat or not) would have uttered 'Oh please' in the manner that we do today.Still, with all it's faults (implausible situations and daft ending) I did read to the end (and *coughs* might even of enjoyed it)!Disclaimer - it was a free download for me!
