  I had forgotten that many of BC's heroines (and other characters) talk in ellipses-
  
  "I'm that glad.... Your Lordship's..... back!"
  
  and
  
  "His Lordship is here, and we are going..... to stay at the Hall..... and everything is going to be...... perfect again, just like it was in the ..... old days when Papa and Mama..... were alive.... and everybody was.... happy!"
  
  So annoying!

  My book says it’s #136 of the New Camfield Novel of Love series soooo I’ll be going with that.
  
  This novel feels very boilerplate and unimaginative for a Cartland. As if an AI wrote it after being fed hundreds of her books. Ugh. So basically the Marquis (someone calls him Mervy so I’m going with that) returns to his country home after having failed at two different relationships with a married woman and a dancer. Self pity takes a back seat when he finds out the country home is in shambles, but with the help of Christina, he soon works to give jobs to the unemployed veterans, repair homes, etc etc. Btw, he met Christina on his way to the country when he helped her after her horse died after it got hit in a carriage accident. A morose first meeting. Also he rescued her a second time when he stopped by her house from the local perv.
  
  Mercy’s long lost cousin arrives begging for money, and when he doesn’t get it, he decides to kidnap Christina (after first trying to poison Mervy with the pill equivalent of laughing gas…) and ransom her. Joke’s on him. Christina leaves him a clue in the random letter by mentioning St. Christopher, which has some vague connection to the old mill where he was being kept. A shootout ensues when Mervy arrives with his veteran buddies, and the cousin ends up killed and thrown in the whirlpool outside the mill. Cool. And nice. Mervy and Christina voice their love for each other and makes plans to get married.

  After years of fighting with the Duke of Wellington against Napoleon, the Marquis of Melverley has neglected his family seat, preferring his dalliances with London’s Beau Monde beauties.
  Now, betrayed by his latest mistress, he returns to Melverley Hall to lick his wounds, but nearing home he is halted by an accident and meets the beautiful young Christina Churston, heartbroken at the death of her old but very beloved pony.
  Soon, he is appalled to find that she is not only orphaned but also being pestered by a lecherous old womaniser, who lives nearby.
  So the Marquis promptly offers her his protection at Melverly Hall to be chaperoned by his old Governess, Miss Dickson.
  Just as Christina melts his heart and he sets about saving the local people from penury, she is kidnapped by the Marquis’s evil cousin, Terence Verley, who is the Heir Presumptive to the title and the estate.
  Kidnapped, imprisoned and about to lose her life, or worse, Christina realises too late that she has lost her heart to the Marquis, whom she is sure that she will never see again –

  I have always enjoyed Barbara Cartland romances. I am learning Spanish, and have promised to read books in the Spanish language for the summer. This was the third. Enjoyable.
