I *love* Joan Wolf, but this is definitely not one of her better efforts. The book covers FAR too much ground, more than a dozen years encompassing the entire American Revolution, and the love story is completely lost in it. She gets the couple married and establishes that the hero feels a physical attraction to his new wife, and that's pretty much it. Their falling in love doesn't really happen on the pages. I found myself skimming through pages, looking for parts I could skip completely (and I tend to be obsessive about reading EVERY word) while hoping that the love story would pick up. It didn't. I believe this was JW's first attempt to write a longer book than the traditional Regencies she did so well, and her pacing was just off.
