For The Love Of A Widow by Christina McKnight

I receive this book from the author for an honest review.

Oh man!!  This book was amazing.  I loved the novella and the different approach of the characters.  Lettie is a great heroine who has gone through A LOT in the last 6 years.   She has left her best friend/betrothed, her dowry, her EVERYHTING to marry a common man.  To marry a soldier.  All of this against her families wishes.

Daniel was so far in his “cups” to care that his best friend was calling off their marriage.  He only cared about ruining himself further in the gaming halls, with willing woman and other things.   His depression and downward spiral after his father’s death left him a mess and so saying good bye to Lettie was fine with him.

6 years.

6 years later everything has changed.  Lettie is not the popular debutant in the Ton from before.  She is a jaded widow who has seem more death and blood shed then any one should have seen.  She is lost without her beloved Gregory.  He was lost to her in the war.  She returns home poor, and destroyed on the inside.

Daniel has realized his life is nothing without Lettie.  He let her go 6 years ago, because he was too drunk to know any better and has regretted it every day.  When she returns, he will do anything to have her back.

The heartbreaking recounts from Lettie are enough for you to understand why she pushed everyone away.  When Daniel opens up to what made him wake up, you want to badly for them to figure to out.  Seeing Daniel open up to Lettie, I was totally swooning!!  This story was a great read and I would love to read more from them in the future…maybe have them pop in to a future story would be awesome too!!
