Diana Donovan was raised aboard a naval ship on a steady diet of war strategy, so when her orphaned friend, Lucy, is denied a perfectly respectable love match by her controlling guardian, Diana sees an opportunity to put her battle knowledge to use in service of a deserving friend.But Marmaduke Russell is not the middle-aged curmudgeon Diana is expecting. He is a maddeningly cool, unmarried gentleman who seems uniquely able to parry her tactics-and infuse her with even more determination to win. As battle ensues, though, it becomes clear that there may be more hearts in the balance than just Lucy's.

This gets an extra star just for being a tip-top comfort read. This was so much fun to go through and Diana was a lot of fun to get to know. It's clear from early in the book that she is willing to inconvenience herself for her friend's happiness and that's the crux the whole story gets built on. I loved that facet of it! Great plot device. I was laughing a lot at some of the things in the story and hoping for the best.
