Synopsis

For seven long years, Lady Cassandra Monroe has waited for the man of her dreams to return from the war. Unfortunately, he happens to be engaged to her flighty cousin. When he mistakes Cass for Patience Bunbury, a fictitious friend her cousin has invented to escape social obligations—even with her future husband—Cass thinks this is her chance.

After defeating Napoleon at Waterloo, Captain Julian Swift is not quite ready to settle down and enter into his unwanted arranged marriage. Patience Bunbury is witty, independent, passionate, and, unbeknownst to him, the cousin of his current fiancée. When the truth about Cass comes out, will he surrender his heart to a woman who really is too good to be true?

Early on our heroine (Cass) dupes our hero (Julian) into thinking she's some imaginary person. The crazy scheme dreamed up by a friend to lure Cass's true love, was quite convoluted by the time he figured it out. This is where the story really picked up.

****Copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review**** I didn't love this. I've read quite a lot of historical romances and this one didn't do it for me the way that some others in the genre do. I can see that I'm in the minority over this - because most other reviews have really loved it, but I......more

She watched him through the eyes of a woman. She finally gets to see him after him coming so close to death. She so close but so far. The r......more
