Always a fan of Erica’s. While this is not one of the Gothic romances she started out with, she does an excellent job with this one sending a spinster off to “live” life just once before she gives up on ever having the chance. She chooses a war hero, a friend of a friend, but the man in question is already fighting a moral dilemma. Adding one more to his laundry list of behavior unbecoming a gentleman might throw him over the edge of sanity, a precipice he’s wobbled on before.

I enjoyed this book right up until the grand gesture at the end, which was a little OTT for me, but all in all I really enjoyed the story.
