It took a bit for this historical romance set during the Napoleon war to get going but soon the issues got serious showing how young women had to grow up fast during a war. Then the action took off and was intense making this a pretty good story. Older Lt Col marine Hugh helps much younger Polly wh...
I should keep better track of book recommendations. Someone in one of my groups said this was a good book and it was. It's a romance between an 18 year old and 37(?) year old. Hugh has been promoted which means lots of meetings. In talking with some injured Marines, he thinks he can be some help...
I love Carla Kelly.This book ended the Channel Fleet series. I recommend this series to anyone who wants a sweet love story without misunderstandings and two people just falling in love.

In some historical romances, the Napoleonic Wars seem to exist primarily as an excuse for dashing aristocrats to play spy. Kelly's series, of which this is the third, is a very different kettle of fish. Her heroes and heroines are ordinary people living extraordinary lives of bravery and honor in wa...
Refreshing change from the usual romance fare. No Insta-Lust. No dukes or waltzes. No Big Misunderstandings. No TSTL heroines. Just a sweet romance where two seemingly mismatched people get to know each other (in VERY trying circumstances) and eventually fall in love. If you're looking for nice rom...
