The Lost Lieutenant

Average rating4.3
He's doing what he can to save the Prince Regent's life . . . but can he save his new marriage as well? Evan Eldridge never meant to be a war hero--he just wanted to fight Napoleon for the future of his country. And he certainly didn't think that saving the life of a peer would mean being made the Earl of Whitelock. But when the life you save is dear to the Prince Regent, things can change in a hurry. Now Evan has a new title, a manor house in shambles, and a stranger for a bride, all thrust upon him by a grateful ruler. What he doesn't have are all his memories. Traumatized as a result of his wounds and bravery on the battlefield, Evan knows there's something he can't quite remember. It's important, dangerous--and if he doesn't recall it in time, will jeopardize not only his marriage but someone's very life. Readers who enjoy Julie Klassen, Carolyn Miller, and Kristi Ann Hunter will love diving into this brand-new Regency series filled with suspense, aristocratic struggles, and a firm foundation of faith.

Evan and Diana both have good reflexes, which is needed when they constantly react to others' whims and demands. It doesn't mean that they are pushovers. It's tough to stand up to your abusive father or say no to a capricious ruler who considers you a new favorite. But watching them muddle through and prevail is well worth it.

A fun marriage-of-convenience story between a battered veteran and a society girl. Their relationship progresses forward with a number of surprises but stayed discreet enough that I didn't have to blush over scenes. I was really intrigued by Evan's friends and am looking forward to the rest of the series. I wasn't expecting the blackmail angle that popped up and it could easily have made the story a tragedy!
Trigger warning: physical abuse by a woman's male relatives, emotional abuse by same
