Review: Not your average Regency Romance...

This is the second book I've read by this author and can see that she does a heartfelt job of researching the time period and developing the characters as they should act according to their era.I have to admit Rhys was a hard man to warm up to...or perhaps questionable...in his treatment of Rebecca. Still, during that era, men were encouraged to move on after the death of a spouse and Rhys did. Or at least he thought so until he learned she hadn't died. How he handled Rebecca's reappearance was unexpected at times yet deep down I think it was his way of handling the surprise and wrestling with his own conscience. Imagine trying to decide what the right path to take might be under such circumstances?In the end, he came to terms with his heart and where it was anchored. The resolution, though not as some would expect, was believable and fit the time and mood. I applaud Wareeze for having the courage to venture into the subject of "loving the one you're with" and writing it in a way that will make readers root for the heroine's happy ending. Well done.
