Sabrina is no longer in love with her husband, Lord Elvan, because of his infidelities, which she has experienced first hand. Now that she knows Perce, her brother’s friend, is in love with her, she is determined to end her marriage, and not think about cheating with Perce. Even with her doubts from her husband’s affairs, she never gives up on Perce’s desire to marry her.
When Perce finds himself at a ball that Sabrina is attending, he finds it hard not to voice his emotions at seeing her again. Because of his position as an aide in the Russian army, he is torn between leaving her, because he feels the need to protect her, and obeying the orders he was given to obtain information. At different times, Perce’s temper and jealousy would get the better of him and he would say the wrong words to Sabrina, but he did love her very much.
The Kent Heiress is the second book in the Dynasty series, and continues with the war that is being spurred on by Bonaparte. I found this story very interesting because of the way Sabrina maintained her ice cold attitude with her husband, and the love she found with Perce with a war going on around them. In this story, the secondary characters were a plus and they lent a lot of humor for me. Although the Foreign Office head person was very untrusting, and a pain in the rear to Perce, he cherished his freedom, deciding to not work for them any more.

Roberta Gellis has written of a lot of history telling how some of the other countries felt about each other, and right in the middle of it, two people who needed to find a love that would last forever. The coldness that Sabrina perfected to keep others from approaching her, because of her position, wasn’t what I expected of her and the ability to be a diplomat’s wife, only made her more likable to me. There were times when the lovers were making assumptions about each other without cause because they had decided not to voice what they truly felt. I wanted to shake both of them until their teeth rattled for not communicating.
