A classic romance. The focus of this novel is on the relationship. No suspense, no mystery, just a solid story of a man and a woman finding each other. Those who dislike romances wouldn’t like it, but for those who do, it would be a pleasant journey into Regency fluff. I won’t go into the particular...
The Bargain (Regency #1)by Mary Jo Putney To keep her fortune, a beautiful heiress impulsively weds a penniless officer dying of wounds received at Waterloo. But when the blasted man hasn't the grace to die, she suddenly finds herself with a healthy, vibrant husband who wants to renegotiate the term...

Ah, what a beautiful, beautiful romance! Pure satisfaction at the end. Best one by Mary Jo Putney that I've read so far. And the hero David - to die for!I guess in a more true-to-life story Jocelyn's journey to understanding herself and the emotional wounds inflicted on her during childhood would ha...
