She thought she had lost everyone during an early attack by Napoleon’s forces. Then upon returning to England she loses even more…
He lost his new wife in a brutal attack six months ago during one of the first battle surges by Le Grande Armée. Left with an injury to remind him of that time he reluctantly takes up his mantle as a Peer of the Realm and uses his skills with numbers and letters to help the War Office as a code specialist.

A Traitorous Heart The Reluctant Lords Book 1 edition by Tammy Jo Burns Romance eBooks
This story starts out in the middle of a battle with Tessa running for her life, trying to evade the explosions going off all around her, when her father slams her to the ground, and they roll into a ditch. As she lies beneath him, he whispers in her ear to remain still, and then he speaks his final words telling her that he loves her and breathes his last breath, trapping Tessa under him. She obeys his warning as the battle continues to rage around her. Slowly, the noise around her disappears and silence surrounds her. When she tries to push her dead father’s body off her, she lets loose a blood curdling scream.The book then fast forwards into another action-packed scene ten months later, ending with Tessa falling and hitting her head, then passing out from the blow. She awakens to find herself locked in what could only be a cell with the voice of her beloved telling her to open her eyes. Since she witnessed his death from one of the explosions, she thinks she is in heaven, yet feels like she’s in hell as pain slams through her and blessed oblivion carries her away.
Derek, the newly cloaked Earl of Blackburn, cannot believe his eyes, the woman his friend, the Duke of Hawkscliffe, believes is a traitor is none other than the wife he presumed had died in the battle that had left him with a severely injured leg. When he declares her no traitor and that she is his wife, the duke presents him with overwhelming evidence, pointing to Tessa as the spy. When she again awakens, her memory is gone, only recalling her name. Now, Derek faced with a dilemma…does he believe the proof, or deny it, sticking to his conviction that she could never have done anything that would have killed so many innocent people. When Tessa’s memory returns, will it tear them apart, or proof her innocent of all charges. Will there love be enough to overcome their circumstances?
I enjoyed this story for the most part and I’m glad I had the chance to read it. The plot is intriguing and the characters engaging. Tammy Jo Burns does a great job of setting up her scenes. Her ability to describe the action drops the reader right into the middle of it. I also thoroughly loved how she wrote her love scenes. While they were not graphic at all, she filled them with deep emotion and plenty of passion. She also does an excellent job of giving the book a strong sense of the historical period. It’s clear she did her research. The couple is uncomfortable with Derek’s title and the author clearly explains why.
Now, for what did not work for me. The momentum in the beginning of this book had me enthralled and wanting to read more. However, that momentum did not continue. The story is very interesting, but it became a bit bogged down with an unexplained issue. I never truly understood how he ended up with the title. It came to him from his great-uncle, but bypassed his father. One quick sentence referred to it being bestowed on him by the king, but no further details, and that was well into the book, leaving me to wonder how he got it and not his father. This situation took me out of the story and made me question the credence.
Another issue involves point of view changes. At times, I would have to read a sentence a second time because the author had switched from one character’s POV to another with no break in the scene. That can be quite disconcerting for me, and I’m sure other readers may have the same problem. Ms. Burns also gives quite a few characters POV, and that kept me from feeling a deep connection to the main characters.
Over all, an enjoyable read. If you’re looking for a book with an intricate plot and emotional love scenes, then this is a book you will not want to miss. Happy reading!

A Traitorous Heart The Reluctant Lords Book 1 edition by Tammy Jo Burns Romance eBooks Reviews
Let me start out by saying I don't like reading historically. I was pressured to read this one by a loved one, and I couldn't put it down! Can't wait to read the next one
This is a glorious start to Tammy Jo Burns' "Reluctant Lords " series. Almost every book I have is on my keepers list, this will be very comfortable in my library.
This was a well written book with endearing characters and enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. I look forward to reading Tammy Jo Burns' next book.
I really enjoyed this book. There were a few places where the writing was redundant, however, overall it was an excellent story that kept my attention. I thought the characters and story line well developed and thought out. Tammy Jo Burns may now become one of my new favorite authors.
Tammy Jo Burns is one of my new FARVORITE authors! I have read all SEVEN of her books over the past 3 weeks and I am hooked! I love the stories and the suspense though you might figure out who the villians are before the end! Absolutely FANTASTIC books! I can not WAIT for the next 2..........I am pretty sure I already know who the heros will be and I am excited to read their stories! I have been reading Regency Romance for many years......including my favs Judith McNaugt and Julie Garwood.......I will put Tammy Jo in that category, yes I WILL! It is very important you read the series in order.......so start with the Lords series, then the Rogues, and then the Taggarts! I am LOVING the recurring characters! Thank you Tammy Jo, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I liked this book. The story has a great premise. There is a bit of a mystery and suspense which is a great addition to any romance. The supporting characters are great and I'm looking forward to reading about Gabe & Kala in the next book. The hero Derek, the Earl of Blackburn, is ok but his character isn't fully fleshed out and comes across a bit bland. The heroine Tessa, Lady Blackburn, has a more vibrant character. I found her to be very emotional, sweet and gentle one minute, screaming another minute, then sobbing a lot. I liked her in the beginning but as time went by, I found her annoying. Parts of the book seem redundant.
Sad that a good plot went so wrong. Is it too much to ask that the author should decide what color the h's eye are, emerald in chapter 1, sapphire in chapter 2? The language spoken for the time was so wrong, maybe author should read other historical novels to get an idea. Too many careless inconsistencies throughout that it ready starts to annoy and pulls you out of the story asking WTH? ***Spoiler***Felt that if the H actually loved the h when they got married would have had more emotional impact to the story. H's sis was so annoying and author made the H weak and made stupid decisions in order to move the plot forward. Really found all 4 main characters lacking and did not feel for any of them. Book needed so much editing! Sorry the industry does not put value to that.
