Regency Romantic Warriors #5
A Mercenary Major part 2: the Blessing of Marriage
Volume 5 in the Regency Romantic Warriors series: Lord Christopher Andover, viscount Brondemeire marries his proxy bride between battles against Napoleon in France. Although his bride will overfill his pockets with money, he has his hesitations about being married again. Kit Andover likes his women for one thing only. No wonder he makes his first big mistake with his bride when he insists on having their wedding night the same day they first meet. His heavenly marriage changes into a self-made hell.
Anthea Fairfax falls in love with her proxy-husband the first moment she sees him. But soon enough she understands that her new husband still needs to learn a lot. The efforts of her sisters Attelante and Aline as well as her servants are necessary to make her marriage the blessing it should have been from the start.

love a good story of romance. A Major in Distress gives all of that in a really interesting story line that keeps you reading.The book is about Hengist Agnew is the main character in the novel who is in love with his brother's wife. His brother is not attracted to her as he is attracted to men. Then there is Marguerite who gets quite the punishment for her flirtatious ways... and the story goes on in a very interesting and mind capturing way.
A really good read, it will keep you up all night.

C. Hampton Jones is no doubt Mrs. Twists-and-turns, which is quite refreshing after reading Regency novels that are rosy and candy. She is realistic about things in life. The end in the book seems to be a key to a book further on in the series. (Jeffrey Burroughs adventures as of novel 8). God how I love this series!

The very romantic second part about Kit Brondemeire, who suddenly has a double standard about marriage and virginity. As everybody is in favour of his bride Anthea Fairfax: his friends and her sisters, they all do their utmost to bring the errant Viscount back in the fold. A lovely romantic story, with a surprising turn at the end. Absolutely my favourite.
