As I have said on this blog before, I always love a flawed hero. Henry is such a dear man. I really loved his character. He genuinely loves his family and wants to see them happy. The touching scene between him and his friend Bart at the end was very endearing. Having been injured in the war, he is back and trying to get back into society. Not an easy thing to do when he only has one functioning arm. He finds an ally in Frances and recruits her to get on the good side of her cousin, Caroline. Of course, the two start to fall for each other instead. Their love story was wonderful. Frances sees beyond the injury to the man that Henry really is inside. Mis-communication and a bit of deceit cause a lot of angst between the two, so I was rooting for them through the end. The book also features some great side characters. I loved Bart and Caroline. It looked like there might be a hint of romance between them. maybe? I hope they show up in the next book.
