Publisher Description
It is a truth universally acknowledged
that a lady can do anything a man can do:
backwards and in high-heeled dancing slippers.
Lady Juliana, daughter of the Earl of St. Maur, needs all the help she can get. She's running a ramshackle orphanage, London's worst slumlord has illicit designs on her, and her father has suddenly become determined to marry her off.
Enter Major Neil Wraxall, bastard son of the Marquess of Kensington, sent to assist Lady Juliana in any way he can. Lucky for her, he's handy with repairs, knows how to keep her and the orphans safe, and is a natural leader of men.
Unfortunately for both of them, the scandal that ensues from their mutual attraction is going to lead them a merry dance...

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Galen's second Survivors Regency (after Third Son's a Charm) has phenomenal protagonists a former soldier haunted by those he was unable to save, and an earl's daughter who has left the trappings of nobility behind to care for those less fortunate who will win readers' hearts. Lady Juliana, daughter of the Earl of St. Maur, runs a London orphanage, the Sunnybrooke Home for Boys. She finds it difficult to keep the boys well provided for after the cook leaves, so she tries to care for them herself. Juliana's father is worried for her safety and sends Neil Wraxall, the bastard son of the Marquess of Kensington, to try to get her to leave the orphanage. Instead, Neil, a former soldier, ends up staying and helping to teach the boys to cook, arranging for repairs on the building, and protecting Juliana from Slag, a local crime lord. Amid the chaos of the boys' antics, Juliana begins to admire handsome and caring Neil, and he is drawn to her beauty and selflessness. Passionate romantic interludes and the marvelous hero and heroine will put this on many keeper shelves.

💋💋💋
Absolutely loved this book , Shana gets better every time I read her work .
A story of a retired Major , with a death wish , who ends up helping an Earls daughter to run an orphanage.
The daughter, is still mourning the loss of her sister and nephew, the boys at the orphanage are her replacement family , when the major appears a slow appreciation between the two also starts.
With fantastic characters, settings and Witty banter galore, and not forgetting the rats ,this is a must for all fans .
The Warrior
Neil Wraxham (Warrior) returned from the Napoleonic Wars a haunted man, unable to sleep without nightmares and using alcohol to blunt his emotions. If it wasn’t for his fellow survivors, so close they are like blood brothers, it is doubtful he would function in any type of meaningful way. Our hero meets the heroine when he is tasked with returning Lady Juliana to her home in Mayfair; her father wants her to stop playing at her charity work (a rundown orphanage in crime riddled Spitalfields). Neil thinks it will be a simple assignment but he has yet to meet the obstinate, headstrong, impulsive and very beautiful Lady Juliana. Loved this story and how Neil was able to open his heart to a tribe of little boys and an unusual (for her class) woman and finally make peace with his past. Looking forward to the next Survivor story, will it be Jasper or Rafe?
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated for my review, and I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed here is my own.
