Perfect Fireside Romance,
By
This review is from: An Affair of Honor (Signet Regency Romance) (Paperback)
Viscount Colin Sedgewick thought he had died and gone to heaven, for it could only be an Angel with fiery red hair and cool and gentle hands slowly stroking his face that was ministering to his needs. But as he slowly regained consciousness, the pain that was radiating from every part of his body, let him know that he was still alive.
As she and her brother came upon the wrecked curricle by the side of the road, Meg Ashburton recognized at once that he was Lord Sedgewick, the one and only man that had asked her to dance at her disastrous season six years ago in London. How could she not? She'd fallen in love with him then and had never forgotten his kindness and his beautiful sweet smile. Naturally he couldn't possibly remember her as the tall, skinny, and extremely awkward, young girl from the beautifully filled out young woman she was now. In bringing him to their home at Thornhill, Meg and her family would help him to recover during his convalescence. As he convalesced, Sedge came to look forward to the very sound of her footsteps in the hallway, and couldn't wait for the day he could hold her in his arms. Meg thought he was looking at her with more than just friendship but eavesdropping on his cousin speaking of Sedge's many conquests, she realized that Sedge would never marry her. Therefore, when Sedge nervously made what she considered a very inappropriate proposal, Meg was devastated in thinking that he could have so disabused their hospitality and insulted her so. Sedge was just as devastated, thinking that he'd read her feelings so wrong and she harbored no feelings for him. Much later, Meg thinking that her virtue was doing her no good, if she let the only man she'd ever cared for walk away decided to go and tell him she changed her mind. Unfortunately, it might be too late as accident upon accident seemed to be shadowing Sedge with increasing frequency. *** This was an enjoyable and sweet traditional regency romance giving the reader a fully robust taste of regency England under the skillful pen of this enlightened author. The flavor is very Jane Austen, with a bit of a mystery that, although easily surmised, will keep the readers interest. The author's character studies are also very well done with great interactions between the leads. The romance itself was cute and `long Meg' a refreshing and likeable heroine. This is the perfect romance for a nice fireside read on a cold and blustery Sunday afternoon. --- Marilyn, for www.historicalromancewriters.com ---

4.0 out of 5 stars
a better than usual Regency romance,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Affair of Honor (Signet Regency Romance) (Paperback)
Want a little mystery with your romance? This is the book
for you. Viscount Sedgewick is recovering at the home of Meg
Ashburton. He met Meg briefly during her only London season.
Meg has bloomed since her season and is much more attractive.
Unbeknownst to him, someone is trying to kill Viscount
Sedgewick. The suspense builds nicely as the romance slowly
progresses and the mystery deepens.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,
By Demi (CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: An Affair of Honor (A Regency Romance) (Kindle Edition)
I have read many of Hern's novels and was suprised that this was written by her too.
The story was silly! Based on a misunderstanding that no sane person who is not a child would buy into! It almost felt like the author had to write something; like she had a deadline and was forced to write something when she was not at all inspired to do so! Please read some of her other work cause she is a good author of this genre BUT avoid this one.
