About the Book



"Phoebe Tunstall has lived her entire life in the shadow of her outgoing twin sister and in service to her maiden aunt. When she suddenly finds herself alone and free of all responsibility to others, she decides to heed the challenge thrown out by the man she has long admired-her brother's best friend, Lord Ingram. Frederick Ingram is reeling from the shock of learning that his first love has married someone else upon mere weeks' acquaintance. Filled with frustration, he is unable to watch his friend's little sister, Phoebe, living meekly and waiting for happiness to come to her. He tells her to live more boldly. What he does not expect is for her to take it to heart and travel to Brussels as Napoleon begins his march northward. Frederick arrives in Brussels for his military duty and-contrary to his expectation-does not find Phoebe cowering in fear at the threat of the emperor's invasion. Instead, she appears to be the center of Society with every male eye in the city on her. Phoebe is eager to show Frederick exactly what he has been missing out on all these years, and he is finally ready to declare his love. Then war breaks out."--

This book is the third in a series, but I read it as a stand alone and it was perfect still without reading the first two. Phoebe is the twin who is quiet, reserved and shy. She has been secretly in love with her big brothers best friend for as long as she can remember, but he has always viewed her with “brotherly affection”. She finally decides to be brave and take a journey with her best friend. Along the way she not only finds love, but she is able to discover who she is when she is not under the shadow of her beaming twin sister. She finds that she is not only beautiful and desirable, but brave and strong. I loved watching her bloom into her true self. There is a strong historical side to this book, which I really enjoyed. You get to insert yourself into the middle of one of the most significant battles of that time, and see the heartache and loss that they suffered as they battled the French. I did find myself more intrigued with the romance side of this story (as that is what I love the most about reading), but I really did enjoy opening my eyes to another side of life in the regency era. Frederick is a busy soldier, devoting his life to helping the Duke prepare for the worst as they anticipate a surge of French. What he doesn’t expect is to have his lifelong friend and “little sister” figure become a belle of the ball, and it is there that he sees her through a different set of eyes. He tries to take on the concerned brotherly role, but finds that love has different plans for him. He was kind, handsome, and strong, and I would strongly recommend you try out this book, so you can add a handsome soldier to your book boyfriend list.
