Fiction Must Reads: The Lost Lieutenant

In the last few years, I’ve discovered a love for novels set during Regency times. I’m not 100% sure why other than there’s something about stepping into a time that is so different from ours, yet the struggles are the same. Everyone wants to be loved and have the opportunity to live a life that matters. When I saw that Erica Vetsch was writing a book set during this time period, I was immediately intrigued…especially when I saw the cover for The Lost Lieutenant. Why is the lieutenant lost? From the first page, the heroine had me. I wanted her to find freedom and love, something that was clearly absent from her home life. But that seemed like an impossible hope for her. The lieutenant similarly needs to find his place as he struggles with doing the right thing on many fronts. This is a book that will pull Regency readers deeply into the pages and not let go until the last page.

About the book

Evan Eldridge never meant to be a war hero–he just wanted to fight Napoleon for the future of his country. And he certainly didn’t think that saving the life of a peer would mean being made the Earl of Whitelock. But when the life you save is dear to the Prince Regent, things can change in a hurry.Now Evan has a new title, a manor house in shambles, and a stranger for a bride, all thrust upon him by a grateful ruler. What he doesn’t have are all his memories. Traumatized as a result of his wounds and bravery on the battlefield, Evan knows there’s something he can’t quite remember. It’s important, dangerous–and if he doesn’t recall it in time, will jeopardize not only his marriage but someone’s very life.

Readers who enjoy Julie Klassen, Carolyn Miller, and Kristi Ann Hunter will love diving into this brand-new Regency series filled with suspense, aristocratic struggles, and a firm foundation of faith.
