The Traitor by Grace Burrowes
Summary: New York Times and USA
Today bestselling author Grace Burrowes delivers a passionate,
danger-filled Regency romance...
Abandoned in France since boyhood, despite being heir to an English barony, Sebastian St. Clair makes impossible choices to survive a tour of duty in the French Army. He returns to England hoping for the peaceful life of a country gentleman, though old enemies insist on challenging him on the field of honor, one after another. But this time, he will not fight alone... Millicent Danforth desperately needs her position as companion to the Traitor Baron's aunt, but grieves to learn that Sebastian must continually fight a war long over. As Sebastian and Milly explore their growing passion, they uncover a plot that will cost Sebastian his life and his honor, unless he does battle once more-this time in the name of love.
Angie's Comments: The Traitor is the second in the Captive
Hearts series, with the first being The
Soldier. I strongly suggest reading The
Soldier first before reading The
Traitor, as to help with background. In first book, Sebastian St. Clair is
portrayed as a traitor and torturer with no remorse, as seen by one of his
victims. In The Traitor, Burrowes
redeems Sebastian St. Clair in the eyes of the reader and the soldiers that he tortured.
The characters in this book have
had to make hard decisions, and they suffer for them. I was surprised by the
ending, which revealed one of the many hard decisions that a character had to
face. The characters are honest, and Millie is a forthright woman who has a
practical streak.
This is a book for romance readers
interested in the Napoleonic wars, family, and making sacrifices during
wartime.
