Love Under Fire | Barbara Cartland

2 posts | 1 read

Waif-like beauty Elvina is tiny and immature after years of malnourishment and indeed she looks far younger than her seventeen years.
Weak, however, she is not. Hardened by years of beatings and abuse at the hands of her half-crazed Portuguese stepmother and sickened by her father’s constant drunken behaviour, Elvina is determined to escape Lisbon and flee to her native England.

Love Under Fire | Barbara Cartland

Elvina, a Cinderella character, stows away on the yacht of the handsome, titled Lord Wye during the Napoleonic wars. They have an adventure behind enemy lines and Elvina falls for Wye but she has not been entirely honest with him.

This was a fun historical romance. I'll probably read more of Cartland.

Love Under Fire | Barbara Cartland

I have been reluctant to read Cartland because critics have led me to believe her books are imbecilic and illiterate. But this is a serviceable light historical romance. We'll see how it goes. Right now, I feel lied to.
