Publisher's summary

Despite Tobin O'Neill's humble origins, he finds himself a lieutenant in His Majesty's army, serving on Wellington's staff. When the roguish Irishman strikes up an unlikely friendship with a general's daughter, they somehow become enmeshed in navigating the perils of the greatest battle of their age.

Bridget Murphy had grown up following the drum. Left motherless when a child, she knows no other life and has found purpose in nursing the wounded. The conflict at Waterloo having no regard for rank or fortune in the course of its destruction, they find themselves leaning on each other as they slowly recover from the aftermath.

When they return to Ireland, Bridget's family betrays her, while Tobin's unexpectedly wants to be a part of his life. In a stroke of irony their situations then become reversed, and Tobin now has to convince Bridget that they were meant for each other.

Early 1800's

Some reviewers are frustrated with the heroine.
This book is about what it was like to be a woman in the early 1800s. It made me grateful I wasn't born in that era. Women had almost no rights.
The heroine is unselfish in the extreme.
Compared with modern women, yes. She puts others, those she loves, ahead of her own needs. Not a failing but a strength.
In my opinion.

Annoying main characters

This book is cookie cutter version of the first book in the series. Same plot, different characters. BUT in both books the main characters are aggravating in the extreme. Wishy washy for most of the book. Will they marry? Will they not? For goodness sake. In spite of Alex Wyndham, this book goes into my "not again" group.

Weak story line and characters

The female character is annoying and stereotypical of a weak woman. Barely able to finish the book the only reason I stuck with it was the narrator is so good. I wish he would find more talented authors to read for.
