Four younger sons,

Four brothers-in-arms,

Four gentlemen willing to do whatever it takes to protect the women they love.

-Gentlemen of War Series

Lucas Walsh thought he had left the horrors of war behind when he returned home to London after Napoleon's exile to Elba, but little did he know that his promised peace would be shattered by his noble father’s mysterious death.

While his elder brother, the Marquess' heir, sees to affairs in the country, Lucas takes on the responsibility of his three younger sisters’ welfare and, truthfully, he would have it no other way. But when he stumbles upon a perplexing secret, one that involves him more than he cares to admit, the weight upon his shoulders is tested.

Lady Helena Webster has always lived a free-spirited life of luxury as the daughter of a powerful Earl, but when her father’s failed investments are discovered and his debts are called in, her once good and kind father is replaced by a man to fear. In his desperation, Lord Webster arranges a marriage between Helena and the loathsome Lord Foxton, a man known for his deep pockets as well as his widespread cruelty.

When Helena’s safety is put at risk, she seeks refuge in the townhouse of her dear friend Genevieve Walsh where fate takes an unexpected turn…

Lucas’ wit, intelligence, and fierce protectiveness embody everything Helena desires in a gentleman, but as their paths intertwine, will Helena’s presence threaten more than the undeniable attraction that ignites between them?

Lucas is a clean, stand-alone Regency Romance. #1 in the Gentlemen of War Series featuring honorable military men who, after fighting for King and Country, return home to unexpected and unfamiliar lives.

I’m new to the Regency genre but I like Moyes’ writing style so I thought I’d check this one out. I was just as IMPRESSED with this book as her other historical fiction writings.

She always tells a great story and this one adds to her multiple collections of well written books. I look forward to her next book on Hunter, I believe…?

Compelling read!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2024

I enjoyed this read for many reasons. It had an intriguing story line. The characters were realistic and likable. It was refreshing to have a strong, male character that is a man of honor. But just as refreshing to have female characters that are strong and honorable (especially given the time period—when female characters are often portrayed as vapid). The details of the story are clean. It was difficult to put this one down and the story kept my attention all the way to the end. I can’t wait for the next in the series!!

If you are looking for a sweet, entertaining love story, you have found it with Lucas. The hero is charming and handsome, and his devotion to his sisters and Helena is unparalleled.

A CLEAN Regency Romance

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2024

I am a huge fan of Regency romance and I was so pleased with this first of four books in the Gentlemen of War series. It is very hard to find clean books within this genre and Moyes has done such a great job giving us an engaging romance while keeping it clean. She really dedicates herself to maintaining accuracy of the era and it shows. Very well done, I can't wait for the next one.

Leah Moyes has done it again! I couldn't put Lucas down! Whatever era or genre she writes about comes alive and draws you into the story. I can't wait for the next book by this author!

Barely made it to Chapter 5…

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024

It is quite clear that the author did no research at all. First, all her introductions were incorrect. Helena was correctly introduced as Lady Helena Webster, but she is NOT Lady Webster. That was her late mother. She is Lady Helena. Lord Foxton was introduced as Baron Foxton of XXXXX (sorry, I’ve forgotten the name of his barony already.) He is Baron XXXXX or Lord XXXXX or Lord Foxton, Baron XXXXX. Only earls and above are introduced as e.g., Lord so-and-so, Earl of (Name of his earldom). Lady Genevieve’s brother, Lucas, being the second son, is NOT Lord Walsh. He is Lord Lucas Walsh and is addressed as Lord Lucas. When he marries, his wife will be Lady Lucas. Information on titles is not difficult to find and a reader should not have to educate the author.

Even more damning is Lord Lucas’ addressing the horse pulling his phaeton with “Hyah”! This is straight from the U. S. cowboy movies when the hero has to make his getaway from the evil rancher or corrupt sheriff. Generally, in the dozens of Regency romances I’ve read, the well-bred gentleman, or his coachman, says something like, “Walk on”.

I read a bit further, shuddered at the next egregious error and, grateful that I subscribe to Kindle Unlimited, gave up.

Bottom line: Don’t waste your hard earned time off. If you are new to the regency romance genre, start with one of Heyer’s or Austen’s excellently written books or “Lord of Scoundrels” (I can’t pull the author’s name to mind…I’ll remember it at 3 am when my brain says, “Aha”!)
