From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Monroe comes a swoon-worthy Regency romance where secrets, scars, and a single spark ignite the most unexpected love.
As the most unconventional of the Riddle sisters, Lady Cordelia has never cared for polished manners or society’s expectations. Climbing trees and chasing down wayward piglets suit her far more than embroidery and polite conversation. When she discovers a hidden note inside an antique goblet, one that leads to a man tied to her late parents’ past, she sets off for London. There, she crosses paths with a guarded scholar who wants nothing to do with adventure.
Vincent Barringer, the reclusive third son of an earl, has found peace within the quiet halls of the Society of Antiquaries. Haunted by his years at war, he prefers books to people and silence to society. Cordelia’s sudden arrival, full of questions and determined energy, disturbs the careful order he has built. Before long, he is drawn into a mystery that threatens to upend everything he thought he knew.
As they follow the trail of a long-buried conspiracy tied to the secretive Order of the Silver Star, Cordelia and Vincent must learn to trust one another if they hope to uncover the truth. Yet trust does not come easily, especially for a battle-scarred soldier or a young woman who has never let anyone truly close.
With danger mounting and secrets unraveling, will these unlikely partners find more than answers in each other? Or will the truth cost them the future neither ever dared to imagine?
The fourth book in The Riddle Sisters series, Lady Cordelia’s Scarred Soldier is a heartwarming Regency romance filled with intrigue, loyalty, and a love that grows where it is least expected.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -
I loved this story, the connection between Cordelia and Vincent as well as the hunt for the truth. Cordelia had such a spirit, preferred a more rustic outlook, but she also was determined and intelligent, and delightful. Vincent was so hurt by the past, his experiences in the war, as well as a lower self-confidence. As he spent time with Cordelia, he learned more about himself and gained an enthusiasm for the treasure hunt. Danger headed their way, but they found safety and love.
I received an ARC, and this is my unsolicited review.
