The General's Daughter
An Unconventional Lady
For war hero Adam Lyonbridge, the ton's social minefields are more treacherous than most battles. Little wonder he dreads the prospect of marrying his general's fashionable daughter, Isabelle. But before the nuptuals, General Grimsby needs Adam to escort his other daughter (born on the wrong side of the blanket) from the dangerous Spanish Peninsula to his estate. Adam has never met a lovelier or more stubborn lady than Marian Randall, whom he has a devil of a time persuading to leave her duties as an army nurse...and who makes him wish he could switch one fiancée for another.
An Uncompromising Love
As if discovering her true parentage wasn't shock enough, Marian finds herself strong-armed into returning to England by the undeniably handsome Major Lyonsbridge. Upon her arrival, she is welcomed by her flighty, albeit friendly half-sister—and hated by the general's resentful wife. Adam's companionship is an unexpected comfort, yet after Isabelle jilts him, Marian realizes she'd happily fill the other girl's shoes. But how will Adam react when Marian puts her own reputation on the line to protect Isabelle from scandal?

For war hero Adam Lyonbridge, the ton's social minefields are more treacherous than most battles. Little wonder he dreads the prospect of marrying his general's fashionable daughter, Isabelle. But first Adam must escort the general's other daughter (born on the wrong side of the blanket) from the dangerous Spanish Peninsula to his estate. Adam has never met a lovelier or more stubborn lady than Marian Randall . . .
On the way the two strong personalities, Marian and Adam, clash when they find themselves paired off with the wrong people. Dialogue and situations sparkle in The General's Daughter, and the secondary characters, willful Isabella Grimsby and Majaor lyconbridge's charming politician brother, are so intriguing they're scheduled for their own book, A Hero's Homecoming, in Sept. You'll enjoy this fast-paced story. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed this book more than I expected - it's really a strong 3.5* but didn't rise to a 4* for me. The general's daughter is really his "natural child" (just love the euphemisms that are used for out-of-wedlock births). She 'followed the drum' with her adopted father, the army surgeon. As such, she learned how to be very self-sufficient, and reminded me at first of Mary Challoner from Heyer's Devil's Cub but as the story progressed, she put me more in mind of Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody. The pleasant surprise was the relationship that developed between Marian & her half-sister, Isabella, the general's legitimate daughter.

There is A LOT going on in this book. It should really be called "The General's Daughters" because it's really about two women. It was an okay book, but now i remember why i had it in my give-a-away pile. It will go back there I think.
