Product Description
New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh brilliantly captures the passionate conflict of a woman caught between two loves in this classic tale of friendship, devotion, intrigue—and a love that is the most seductive trap of all….
He’d served with her husband on the battlefield—and secretly desired her for years. Yet for Dominic, Lieutenant Lord Eden, Ellen Simpson has remained tantalizingly out of reach—until she is widowed by the war. Suddenly pursued by the dangerously handsome nobleman, Ellen is stunned by the depth of attraction he arouses in her. Soon their friendship flames into something deeper…and as scandal ignites, marriage seems the only solution. But Ellen has a secret—one she can share with no one—that prevents her from fully opening her heart to Dominic. Until he devises his own plan for the ultimate consummation of their passion—and the woman he is determined to possess at any cost…

Not first rate Balogh,
By Rosamond1 (Tidewater, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Web Of Love (Paperback)
I'm a big fan of Mary Balogh's work. She's a superior writer in the romance genre and has written some classics (No Man's Mistress, The Christmas Bride, Tangled, A Precious Jewel to name just a few) but this book is way below par for her. I agree with the reviewer above about the confused motivations of the heroine. It just doesn't work that she was deeply in love with her first husband and than, over a period of a few weeks, falls deeply in love with his one-time best friend. There was very little angst and little of the character soul-searching Balogh is famous for. Skip this one unless you can get it for free!

So..so,
By J "jjc92slp" (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Web Of Love (Paperback)
I am an avid historical romance book reader, and a fan of Ms. Balogh. But this early book of her's was not as good as her later ones. I just couldn't get into the story and had a hard time finishing it.The time line of the story is Battle of Waterloo. I get the fact that it was a war time, and nurse and patients sometimes falls for each other. But, I was very confused while I was reading this book and still (even after finishing it) couldn't really understand the concept that Ellen was in passionate love with Lord Eden one month after (it was also suggested that she was falling in love with him even before her husband's death) she lost her husband who she was so deeply in love with. I still can't get it. She was in love with her husband who was 15 years older than her, but in love with Lord Eden who was the same age as she right after her husband's death? Because??? OK. It is a love story and sometime love doesn't have to make sense. But, the way the author was trying to convince the story line was not working for me.

This is one of her best earlier works. The story was a one sitting read. I just could not put it down.
