From the back cover:
' Wilful and unconventional, Eliza Stanhope despises the marriage of her cousin and childhood campanion, Julia, to rich, self-satisfied Richard Beaumont. Richard is certainly the dullest man in Hampshire and even Julia mocked him before she calculated the advantages his fortune would bring.
But when Richard's charming, younger brother, Francis, returns home from war, bringing with him his delightful fellow officer, Pelham Howell, Eliza sees some potential in marriage. Soon she finds herself facing the bewildering and challenging demands of first love...'

I took this book from OBCZ Hotel de Jonge to register as the OBCZ has been unattended for a while now.

After a bookcase cleanout this book is ready to travel once more. I'm adding it to the bookbuffet at the Castricum meeting this sunday. Happy travels!

This looks like something I might enjoy.. I like historical novels that have some romance in them. Thanks for sharing dutch-flybabe! (looks like I ended up with several of your books ;p)

An enjoyable read. I was quite surprised that the main couple got married so early in the book, usually these things happen at the end, so that was nice for a change. And it was interesting how they went to Brussels and then to war with Napoleon, hadn't expected that the story would bring the reader onto the battlefield. A strange idea that they were so many parties while people waited for the battle to start.
