Redeeming Jack is about a a disowned and disinherited aristocratic son who has just returned from the Napoleonic wars and has turned to nursing wounded soldiers to survive. While this book is in a series the story stands on its own and it is interesting to read the hardship those who served their country are faced with. Jack Llewelyn is determined to stand on his own and to clear his name but the Duke of Diable Delamere together with fate have other ideas and suddenly Jack is faced with a very different future than the one he invisaged. A great read and a book one could re-read as Ms Pearce not only captures the emotions of her characters but manages to capture her readers minds as well.

If there had not been a brief explanation from the author of the type of story this was up front,I probably would have been slightly disappointed with it and would have given it 4 stars However,it is made clear it is an old fashioned historical , a thriller ,not an erotic romance,just a smidgeon of sex I really liked it Helps to read Educating Elizabeth first
Jack is introduced in the 1st book of the series. He's an ex-soldier who was dishonorably discharged and working as nurse for fellow ex-soldiers recovering from war injuries. In the first book, I liked Jack and was excited to read his story. In this book he comes across as a drunk, someone who walked away from his wife and although he wants to bed her, doesn't really come across as loving her. On the other hand, I don't blame him. His wife is as argumentative as he is, is ready to hop into bed with him while also wanting a divorce with husband #2 lined up. Also the story jumped around between the present and past which got a little confusing at times. I recommend skipping this and going on to book #3 (4/5 stars).
