Another great and unexpectedly realistic tale in the Sinclair Bride series. I went out and bought the rest of the series the morning I finished this one!

Terrific Regency for Fans of the Wounded Hero!
29 April 2001
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I already have several of Gayle Wilson's Regencies on my keeper shelf--when she hits a home run, she hits it out of the park! Anne's Perfect Husband is a delicious read for anyone who is a big fan of wounded (physically, emotionally) heroes in a Regency settig, Wilson excels in this archetype--one she has employed various times in both her contemporary and historical stories.
Ian Sinclair is a noble man trying to do the right thing for an orphan, the child of the man responsible for Sinclair almost losing his life in the Peninsula War. He's alive, Ian is, but scarred and wounded and his life is precarious due to an ill-placed bit of shrapnel. Lucky for him in his loneliness, the orphaned daughter of his deceased foe is no child, but a gallant and nurturing woman. The story progresses as one would expect a Regency romance to do so---noble actions, attention to the marriage mart, and a bit of suspense added for good measure.
I had a grand few hours with Ian and Anne, and I recommend this novel to lovers of romantic tales with happy-ever-afters. I can only hope Gayle will soon delight us with another of her pleasant, heart-touching stories. More of those fabulous wounded heroes, Gayle!!!

One of my favorite books ever!
2 Dec 2003
Format:Paperback
I usually don't go for Regency romances, I tend to prefer contemporary romances, but this book was incredible! Ian Sinclair, a handsome war hero who is devoted to the principles of honor, comes back from war with potentially fatal wounds. He discovers that he is now the legal guardian of a child he has never met, the daughter of the man whose actions nearly killed Ian. Ian, however, does not wish to hold the father's shortcomings against the daughter, and travels to the rural school to take her to his home for the holiday season. Ian is shocked to discover that his ward is no child, but a young woman who steals his heart. Ever the gentleman, however, Ian could not bear to subject her to a life of anything less than perfection, and he knows he is hardly perfect. He instead plans a Season for her, to introduce her to the eligble bachelors of London society. When will he learn that he's Anne's perfect husband?
This book is almost perfect itself, and the characters are quite charming and realistic. I wish that more attention had been spent on the events that occur in the last part of the book. I also wish that some of the other themes had been emphasized - Anne's father's actions against Ian, for example, as well as the age gap between Anne and Ian (which seemed to be a slight problem in the beginning, but was not addressed at all in the remainder of the book). Altogether, however, Ian is everything a romantic hero should be, if you go for those war-hardened, gentlemanly types (and I do! WOOHOO! ;)) An excellent book, and definitely a keeper.

Warning...
25 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
SPOILER ALERT, if you care...the heroine is raped in this book (not by the hero, thankfully, but still) I had been enjoying the book but this *highly unnecessary* plot device ripped me right out of the story and I was so disappointed. It may not bother many readers, but if you dislike rape in your romance as much as I do, I feel you should be given a heads-up. I wish I had known ahead of time...
