Rating: Five Stars
er: Linda HaysGibbs
The Second Son is Regency at its best.
The characters are deep and fully fleshed, I loved the disillusionment John suffers with his life, He must overcome self pity and find his own way in a hard life, as a second son that will never have what his older brother has.
He grows with the story, His return home after the brutalities if war have left him scarred too,
Marguerite has a handicap and must overcome her impediments and find her way too, Her struggle is palpable and unique, It is made even more terrible when John admonishes her against her self pity,
It seems that their hearts have suffered enough when their attraction draws them into unchartered waters, Just when you think you have the story figured out it bursts into a different delima, It was inspiring and endearing,
I must read her other books, This one was a wonderful delight I shall cherish, I gave this ingenious author five for a perfect regency escape,
