From the Back Cover

A MASTER IN BATTLE-- Amelia Harrow has worshiped Viscount Hunter Westhaven since the schoolroom. Now, after three long years fighting Bonaparte, the famed hero has returned to claim his bride. But he is strangely changed. The charming idol of Amelia's youth has now been replaced by a somber, restless, and enigmatic man. An afternoon of honeymoon passion, stormbound in a moorland cabin, prove Hunter far from insensible to Amelia's charms. Yet his ardor, she fears, does not touch his innermost spirit. And what "business" keeps him away so often in London, while she pines for his caress?

NEEDS A LESSON IN LOVE-- Hunter would sooner face the most savage enemies on the battlefield than the secrets of his own soul. How can Amelia ever understand how much the war has changed him? He knows he must lay the past to rest if he is ever to find happiness with his lovely wife-even if it means traveling to London alone to search for the families of his comrades who fell in battle. But when Amelia finds him and discovers a secret from his past she cannot forgive, Hunter may have lost her forever: unless an unexpected blessing teaches them both the true meaning of love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Catherine Blair returns with a winner!, January 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Hero Returns (Zebra Regency Romance) (Paperback)

This was one of the more thought-provoking romances I have read in a long time. There are a lot of issues in this book and Catherine Blair has done a really good job in weaving all the elements and story line together smoothly. It is refreshing to see an Regency author that believes that not all men that went off to fight in the Napoleonic wars were heros that came back home without a twinge on their consciences. Viscount Hunter is full of guilt and rage and unfortunately chooses to try and deal with his problems on his own. His young wife, Amelia Harrow, is deliberately shut out of his life. She eventually comes to understand what drives her husband and grows up during the process. Do give this book a read, I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hero is Sexy!, January 12, 2000

This review is from: The Hero Returns (Zebra Regency Romance) (Paperback)

I think we all know how sexy and frustrating it can be to be in love with someone who does not seem to return the sentiment - and it makes for some major tension in a romance novel! It's just all wham bam - and since the marriage happens earlier in the book than most romances you read of this era, the tilt of power and tension is very novel and exciting. It's almost a mystery novel wrapped inside a Regency romance. Very nicely done!
