Gallant Waif By Anne Gracie

Gallant Waif by Anne Gracie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It seems a recent affliction of mine to shower Anne Gracie with compliments without any ounce of restrains, well she deserves every word; because she done me proud again with yet another wonderful book.

To point something, this is my first time counting how many times I cried whole reading a book, in this one I cried 3 time!! They might not be the heat wrenching sobs that some book made experience, but they left their print.

I felt bad for bad for both the hero and heroine, but the girl more so and all my bouts of tears were because of her. The hero was the grieving self loathing type, just cause a bitch of a fiancée left him for war scars and he's broke he became a loner, but not for very long *smirk*.

I cried for Kate first when at the beginning when she told the old lady her past and her issue, but what made me cry the most when her past got revealed in the middle of dance and everyone deserted her leaving her in the spotlights throwing insults at her, and then Jack *sigh* shows up makes her dance with her, then his friends take turn, then the soldiers she saved before and more and more, even the old influential ladies showed up and their war hero Lord Wellington. Totally like her, that excessive show of kindness made me weep. And Ooh how beautifully it was painted.

But what made this a more delightful light read was their constant banter, it reminded me of a couple in book 3 of the Dragon Kin series by G.A.Aiken, where the audience called their usual fights is their own way of flirting and foreplay XD

Overall, *thumps up*
