Mightier Than the Sword

`Mightier than the Sword' by Peggy Waide has written a fun historical romance/mystery novel. Rebecca is a strong-willed woman who has loved Adam since he made her dollhouse for Christmas when she was seven years old. Before Adam left for war, he broke Rebecca's heart. He is back from War and being investigated for treason and has to turn to Rebecca for help and trust her with life and his heart. I would recommend this book and if you enjoy this genre, I would also suggest `A Loving Scoundrel' by Johanna Lindsey ,`When We Meet' by Victoria Alexander and 'All about love' by Stephanie Laurens.

Becca Marche is a great heroine. She's a little spunky, but smart enough to not do things just to be independant.Adam Hawksmore, the Earl of Kerrick, is a great hero. He's not very imaginative, but he's loyal and honorable. However, the Earl is in some trouble. He's been accused of treason and must try to clear his own name.The dialogue between Adam and Becca is witty and fun. Each character is complete without the other, but together they are fresher and more interesting.A very find read - I highly recommend.

I found Peggy Waide's Duchess for a Day book and l loved it and went in search of her others. I'm so glad I did. She's a wonderful read. Mightier Than The Sword is kind of a romp with delightful characters. I love Adam and Becca. The poet twist adds so much and she handles the mystery plot very well. The hero has no idea he doesn't have a chance once Becca makes up her mind to have him. I love spunky heroines. Don't miss this one.
