Love or Honor Lady Regina Heathercott young beautiful and wealthy could have any man she wanted And no man had ever made her want him like the superbly handsome Captain Charles Swinburn His stolen kisses stole her heart and left her aching to give him still when the upright figure of another man stepped between them Colonel Sir Richard Swinburn Charles arrogant elder brother was as insultingly indifferent to Regina s charms as he was infuriatingly suspicious about Charles intentions toward her This icy officer offered her propriety in place of passion honor instead of love And soon Regina found herself being quickstepped to the altar with the wrong man for the wrong reasons Now she feared that unless marriage held unsuspected surprises the one she adored would make her break her wedding vows almost as soon as she made them The Colonel s Lady The Corinthians 7 A fun easy read even if it the heroine would have benefited from a paddling or two when she was younger the spoilt brat I was irritated by Regina leading Richard to believe a certain thing then being outraged when he did four men ganging up on one was also unnecessary not that Gresham couldn t do with a good pounding he certainly deserved one in Lord Gresham s Lady anyway I think there were other less ridiculous ways for the H h to come together Paperback I like nice romaces they are light sweet and utterly predictable Like them anyway Paperback
