Only Enchanting / Mary Balogh 387 p.

Flavian, Viscount Ponsonby, is devastated by his fiance's dropping of him after he returns from the Napoleonic Wars with a massive brain injury that leaves him unable to talk and with incredible gaps in his memory in this 4th installment of the Survivors' Club series.  To add to his misery, his ex-fiance is marrying his best friend.  Unable to communicate, he destroys his drawing room.  His family sends him off to join 4 men and 1 woman where they work to heal themselves and each other of horrific, life-shattering events.  Functioning well, despite a brain that still lacks chunks of his memory, Flavian meets Agnes at the annual meeting of the Survivor's club.  Family let him know that the widow Velma, his ex-fiance, is back and she and the family are uniting to get him wedded to her.  He finds himself drawn to Agnes, and convinces her to marry him before returning to the bosom of his family.  Both he and Agnes have trust issues.  Mary Balogh describes the feelings and situations of both Flavian, Velma, Agnes' sister, in this Regency romance.  One feels that one knows these characters.  It is delightful to have recurring characters so as to get know them even better.
