"Highly entertaining, refreshing, and witty. . . . [A] beautifully written, delightful, and faith-filled romance of two endearing hearts."

--Grace Hitchcock, award-winning author of My Dear Miss Dupré

Not much happens in Theodosia Stapleton's tiny Northumberland village. Certainly not to her. She has resigned herself to spinsterhood, caring for her ailing mother in the home of her grandfather, known to the locals as "General Contrary." When her dear friend dies and leaves behind a daughter, it's simple enough to take the child into her own quiet world. That is, until her ward's famous uncle unexpectedly arrives and throws Theo's tidy orbit completely off-kilter. 

Fame was the last thing Daniel Balfour sought when he fought in the Peninsular War. But his brave exploits caught the attention of the King, and now the honors he was given hound him everywhere . . . even on his rushed trip to rescue his orphaned niece. Theo's quick wit and warm smile reassure him that Rebecca is in good hands, and he finds himself free to swiftly return to London and his responsibilities. But those caring hands are beginning to look like they could also safely hold his heart, and he's tempted to linger. Unfortunately, marriage is simply not in the cards; the army is spouse enough for him. 

Then an accident and a scandal lead both Theo and Daniel to discover that their best-laid plans may not have been what God designed for them after all.

Review: 

Theodosia Stapleton has resigned her self to her spinster fate caring for her mother and taking in an orphan girl, until war hero Daniel Balfour comes to their small town to upend her world. 

Theo is a likable heroine from the start, she is witty and does a great job of dealing with her contrary grandfather, as well as caring for her sick mother and young Becky. She has a heart for others, and she wants to be realistic about her prospects. I enjoyed her growing friendship with Daniel as they get to know each other and find themselves longing for more than friendship. Daniel and Theo have to deal with a lot because of nosy and opinionated busy-bodies, and my heart went out to these two people who were so kind and had done nothing to earn the bad opinion of others. 

This was a well written historical read with excellent characters, though I didn't care much for all the society dinners at the main character's expense. I especially liked Theo for her devotion to her family, and heart for others. An enjoyable read for fans of Christian Regency fiction!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
