The Son of a Soldier (Wardington Park: Order of the Second Sons, #15)

by Eleanor Meyers

Quick easy regency romance. I really enjoyed it despite the flaws. I liked the idea of the whole secret society of second sons - but it didn't really go into enough detail to satisfy my curiosity. To be fair - I haven't read any of the other books in the series - so perhaps reading in order makes it better - but otherwise it was just kind of vague and lacking depth. I did find the characters likable. Nora was pretty entertaining - particularly her reaction to finding the body. I really liked this passage.

“You’re not at all what I keep expecting.” “And what is it that you expect?” He stared at her. “I have no idea but not this.” He shook his head. “You didn’t faint at the sight of Mr. Charles. Most women would have.” “I’d suggest you wait for an opinion on that matter. I’m quite intoxicated at the moment and could very well faint by mid-day tomorrow.” Mr. Charles was her friend. It would take her a moment to understand she’d never see him again even in passing. She walked over to where Lucas stood. “You seemed rather calm and you were covered in his blood. Have you seen… death before?”

But she also had a tendency to slip into the TSTL category which I just found annoying. Lucas was pretty likable he was generally pleasant and friendly. Although his lack of trust of Nora was stupid. It was a little too much drama for me to care about.

But overall, quick easy read. Although I probably won't bother to pick up the others in the series. I don't really care for Warren's story and I have no idea who Morgan or Philomena are. Still, I'll keep an eye out for other releases by this author.
