Review: The Lost Lieutenant

The Lost Lieutenant by Erica Vetsch
My rating: 💛💛💛

I really enjoyed this regency from a new-to-me author. Regency is one of my favourite time periods in historical fiction.

This story had so many characters to not like! Diana’s father was really something else, with her brother not far behind. I enjoyed seeing how Diana grew in confidence when she got out from under her father’s roof and finding her place with Evan.

Evan was such a great main character. Not without his own issues, he was the first to protect the vulnerable, weak, and stepped up in all areas which mattered. I loved how the author used his character to display what a true gentleman he was, even though he was born a commoner.

One of the supporting characters I loved, was the prince Regent, who, in his oblivion, played a crucial role in protecting Diana.

I also loved Marcus and cannot wait to get to his story.

About the book:

He's doing what he can to save the Prince Regent's life . . . but can he save his new marriage as well? Evan Eldridge never meant to be a war hero--he just wanted to fight Napoleon for the future of his country. And he certainly didn't think that saving the life of a peer would mean being made the Earl of Whitelock. But when the life you save is dear to the Prince Regent, things can change in a hurry.

Now Evan has a new title, a manor house in shambles, and a stranger for a bride, all thrust upon him by a grateful ruler. What he doesn't have are all his memories. Traumatized as a result of his wounds and bravery on the battlefield, Evan knows there's something he can't quite remember. It's important, dangerous--and if he doesn't recall it in time, will jeopardize not only his marriage but someone's very life.

Readers who enjoy Julie Klassen, Carolyn Miller, and Kristi Ann Hunter will love diving into this brand-new Regency series filled with suspense, aristocratic struggles, and a firm foundation of faith.
