This is a
sweet post-Napoleonic romance. Great for all ages, very sweet and loving, so if
you are looking for an erotic read this is not the book for you.
Stella, the
daughter that is always left behind, the daughter whom is always ignored,
finally gets to share her vision with Lt. James Norris, a man she has always
cared for from afar. With most of her family away save her brother, Stella
shows James what a strong and kind hearted women she has become.
This is a
great book I just wish it was longer. The writing was smooth, but a lot was
left out that could have made this book even better.
Despite all
of that I am still giving Brash 9 out of 10 for being such a beautiful story.
