Review by Library Journal Review
The war with Napoleon is long over for Lord Luke Ripton, but despite devastating nightmares he must return to Spain to reclaim something he left behind in a convent-his bride. Young Lieutenant Ripton had rescued 13-year-old Isabella Sanchez y Vaillant from an attacker and married her in order to prevent her evil cousin from having her. Now eight years later, Luke's child bride is a grown woman who has her own agenda before she traipses off to England with the man about whom she fantasized over all those years. Luke is indeed handsome, but he has secrets that Ella wants to uncover. Luke realizes that the frightened girl he rode away from has become a less-than-biddable adult who might just make his life more torturous than anything the enemy threw at him. Verdict This latest title from Gracie (The Accidental Wedding) introduces a feisty young woman who refuses to be cowed by her aristocratic husband and the honor-bound gentleman who overcomes his past and grows to appreciate his spirited and determined bride. The Spanish landscape brings a fresh perspective to the series. For all fans of historical romance.-Bette-Lee Fox, Library Journal (c) Copyright 2012.
