Diana Donovan was raised aboard a naval ship on a steady diet of war strategy, so when her orphaned friend, Lucy, is denied a perfectly respectable love match by her controlling guardian, Diana sees an opportunity to put her battle knowledge to use in service of a deserving friend. But Marmaduke Russell is not the middle-aged curmudgeon Diana is expecting. He is a maddeningly cool unmarried gentleman who seems uniquely able to parry her tactics—and infuse her with even more determination to win. As battle ensues, though, it becomes clear that there may be more hearts in the balance than just Lucy's.

The Art of Victory is the first in Martha Keyes's The Donovans regency-set romance series. Each book can be treated as a standalone.

What a lovely story! A fantastic sweet regency book, fun, light-hearted but with good characters and character development. Just perfect for a rainy day. Highly recommend

Witty, Beautiful-just lovely

I have no idea if the story is any good because I could not get on with the narrator's voice. She grated on me. Such a pity. I tried my best, but could not reach the end of the book. I found it very difficult to follow, or even to show interest in the story. As this is the first book in the series, I'm afraid I shall not be attempting to follow any further.

I had hoped that I would get used to her voice, at least to the point of tolerating it, but as time went on, I only became more irritated.
