Beauty and the Scarred Hero

By Emily May

Major Nicholas Reynolds returns from the Battle of Waterloo a hero. Once, his rakish good looks ensured he had his pick of beauties, but now his battle-scarred face exiles him from high society.

Lady Isabella Knox is horrified by the cruel gossip surrounding Nicholas, but intrigued by the man whose steely glance makes her blush on the outside…and burn deep on the inside.

Reviews for Beauty and the Scarred Hero

[pgchuis · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Isabella rescues Harriet who is running away from an engagement to a man she fears, Nicholas. Harriet describes Nicholas as an ogre and Isabella inadvertently causes Nicholas to be called "Ogre" by society. In order to make amends, she offers to take him as her "beau" for a flirtation aimed at rehabilitating him. One thing leads to another and Harriet is still hiding on the third floor of her house.I enjoyed this story very much, but am knocking off one star for all the twists at the end, which became a little wearisome (as did Harriet's character in general).
