Shot-proof, fever-proof and a veteran campaigner at the age of 25, Brigade-Major Harry Smith is reputed to be the luckiest man in Lord Wellington's army. But at the siege of Badajos, his friends foretell the ruin of his career. For when Harry meets the defenceless Juana, a fiery passion consumes him. Under the banner of honour and with the selfsame ardour he so frequently displays in battle, he dives headlong into marriage. In his beautiful child-bride, he finds a kindred spirit and a temper to match. But for Juana, a long year of war must follow....

Georgette Heyer was for over 50 years one of the most prolific, successful and best writers of historical romance. In The Spanish Bride she shows the skill that has won the hearts of a new wide audience in the 21st century.

Nothing like her usual regency romances

It was a story of a war, following this couple who were in the army. it focused a fair amount on the army's movements, battles, and the army life.

There wasn't much interest in the love story. Not really a plot line to speak of and not much character development.

I have LOVED the other probably 10 Georgette Heyer books I've read. so if you like the regency romances, you might not like this one.

Very weak story-so unlike Heyer

The so called story was really descriptions of one battle after another between the English and Spanish against the French. The romance was secondary to repetitive facts about warfare in the 1800s. Boring..,very disappointing.
