Helpful Score: 7

This was lovely. It dealt with a slighly more serious and mature subject matter than most regency romances I've read -- the hero's young sisters had been kidnapped when they were very small and are still coping with it; the oldest carries a knife with her wherever she goes, and the youngest doesn't speak -- but it does so with grace and sensitivity. It still has all the qualities I love about romances (wonderful characters, a lovely romance, and a sense of fun), but it also has an added layer of complexity. I really enjoyed it. It's a moving, touching story about the power of love to heal wounded souls (except it's nowhere near as soppy as I just made it sound). Recommended!
