Lady Emma’s Campaign

Delightful and heart gripping. The fear and savagery of war are very real. I just finished the book and I’m still unsettled by the vivid descriptions laid out in the book. Though there weren’t many, it was enough to print the pictures. Well done. I need something lighthearted now.

Wonderful!

This book had a great storyline. I didn't want to stop listening! The narrator was very good!

This was an absolutely wonderful book

I appreciate how it tastefully, yet realistically outlined the horrors of war, and the effect that it has on those truth participate, by stand, and flee from it, as well as those heroes who try to end it, and it’s atrocities. I also liked how it showed the effects of PTSD, and what helps combat it.

A sweet adventure

MY TAKE
I have not read these books order. That's okay. Moore does a good job of making each book a story into itself. However, I realized that some of the characters I knew, besides Sidney and Emma (and her brother William and his wife Amelia, of course). I didn't realize at first that the soldier and the other woman who came away from the prison after their escape were the princess and her rescuer from Miss Burton Unmasks a Prince. I LOVED that book, and now I want to go back and read it again just because I understand more about those too than I did before.

As for Lady Emma's Campaign. This was a charming story, and I was happy to see Sidney get his own HEA. He's such a fun character from the Becoming Lady Lockwood. It was fun to see Emma go after what she wanted (Sidney). She was a little irritating at first because she was young, incredibly naive, and pretty spoiled. She wanted what she wanted and was so disheartened when the world didn't give it to her the way she wanted it.

But the Colonel recognized the strength in her, and her character arc was a fun journey. She found out so much about herself. The face-to-face with Sidney (which I won't spoil) showed truly how much she had grown. And was poignant, making the ultimate ending very sweet.

An unexpectedly great story

I started out not very enthused about Emma’s character, but she developed a lot throughout the story. I truly enjoyed this story
