bandherbooks's review against another edition
3.0
Adam lost his first wife in childbirth after she labored in agony for over three days. He has vowed to never marry again. Katherine lost her entire family in a carriage accident when she was a small child. All she wants is to wed for love and have a huge family. Sparks fly when the meet, but Adam is unwilling to change his mind, or will he?
I didn't really enjoy the hero of this story. I found his issues with child birth reasonable, but found his motives toward Katherine slightly reprehensible. He refuses to be with her because he doesn't want to risk her life and get her pregnant, but he is perfectly happy to have a mistress who "will know how to prevent childbirth." Okay....
So, the details made me like the story, not the characters. Everything ends up well, but this wasn't my favorite Regency.
Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC.
