More About This Book

Overview

On his return from the Peninsular War, grievously wounded and troubled in spirit, Alexander Quainton decides that an insouciant manner is the best way to avoid the pity he abhors. Exercising his damaged body with daily walking excursions proves an excellent way of avoiding social engagements. Carolina Finmere, shy and no more than passable in looks, has failed in three seasons to attract a suitor. For three months, they tramp Bath and its surrounding hills together, gaining in strength and--unwittingly--in intimacy. When September comes it is time to part, unless they admit their love for each other. Carolina knows she must initiate the declarations of devotion, for Alexander is convinced that a man so damaged is no fit mate for a gently bred woman. How can Carolina love someone so scarred and deformed as he? Plucking up her courage, Carolina declares her love for Alexander. Will he admit his for her, or will his fear of seeing revulsion in her eyes put paid to their blossoming love?

Editorial Reviews

Jane Bowers
Short and sweet aptly describes CAROLINA'S WALKING TOUR. If ever a tale shows that out-of-the-ordinary qualities can lie beneath plain or damaged exteriors, it is this delightful little nugget of gold.
R. Laurraine Tutihasi
Despite its short length, this story contains all the elements one looks for in a good Regency romance. The author's reading style resembles Jane Austen's more than any other Regency romance writer I've read.

    Short and Sweet Regency That's Beautifully Written

    Plain Carolina Finmere visits her grandmother in Bath after two unsuccessful London seasons. While out walking, she notices a scarred gentleman with numerous war wounds and soon makes the acquaintance of Lord Alexander Quainton. Soon the two are falling in love as they take frequent strolls around Bath, but Alexander feels no one can love a man so scarred as he, and Caro believes herself too plain and uninspiring for any man. A gem of a sweet romance in which inner beauty matters most!

    good but SHORT story

    Short but endearing Regency romance between a plain woman and a battle-scarred veteran. About 19 pages long, so that's a little more than 10 cents per page.
