Booklist Review

Fanny and Rian Becket have always watched over one another since they were adopted into their hodgepodge family. United by tragedy rather than biology, all the siblings are fiercely loyal to their family. So when Rian joins the army to face Napoléon at Waterloo, Fanny naturally follows. Almost immediately Fanny realizes her mistake in coming disguised as a soldier and suffers the wrath of her brother, who places her in the care of Valentine, Earl of Brede, a hardened spy for the British. Valentine has seen enough of war and rejoices in Fanny's youthful spirit as well as her indifference to his title. As for Fanny, in the midst of tragedy on the battlefield, she not only relies on Valentine for protection but also enjoys his kisses. In Michaels' wonderful new romance about the Beckets of Romney Marsh, love flourishes in spite of the harsh realities of war.--Engelmann, Patty Copyright 2007 Booklist
