Proposal / Mary Balogh 311 p.

This is the first book in a new series, The Survivors' Club Series by Mary Balogh. What is cool about this series is that all are members of the Survivors' Club.  Each have member has something to overcome.  For Hugo, Lord Trentham, it is the seeing soldiers under his command die.  When the club members meet each year, he announces he needs as wife, as his father has died, and his sister needs someone to bring her out.  And as luck would have it, in drops the widow Lady Gwen, who also has her own set of problems.  A romance, yet Balogh deals with heavy issues like suicide, death, post-traumatic stress syndrome, physical infirmities, and class differences.  I look forward very much to the stories of the rest of the survivors'.
