What I enjoyed most of all about this book was the setting leading up to, during, and in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo. I also enjoyed the main characters, who both had great heroic qualities. The heroine is pragmatic and facing the reality of having to marry anyone to avoid destitution. The hero was delightful, charming, and great with kids, and so were his family that we meet when they get back to England.
This is part of the Silk & Scandal series, so in the latter part of the book, there is a subplot about a spy ring and a murder that took place far in the past. I found it to be an unnecessary distraction, and the story could have done just as well without tacking that on. Plus, it brought in a really annoying secondary character/villain who was plotting revenge. Not naming names but you'll know him when you see him. I think this guy eventually gets a book of his own, but I would prefer the hero's horse, Max, as sequel bait. Honestly, the horse was great, I would love to see him again!
