While I really enjoyed Jennifer Moore's first Regency Romance, this one fell short of its potential. There just wasn't enough romance. I feel like so much more could have been made of the chemistry between Emma and Sidney, and it still could have been clean and tasteful. I was just left feeling unsatisfied.

This character development is amazing, the sidecharacters as well as the main characters lovely, though a little less funny then the first book.

NEW FAVORITE!!! A fantastic read about the horrors of war and PTSD, but also the joy and peace of family and love... and Spain. <3

It was cute. Nothing spectacular. The romance didn't draw me in. Their rescues seemed a bit too convenient. A nice, fluffy read if that's what you're looking for.

Emma loves her older brothers best friend, Captain Fletcher, she is devastated when they find out he was killed in battle. But soon some of his men come looking for help because he is really being held prisoner in Spain. Emma will stop at nothing to get to him, even hiding on her brothers ship and storming the prison herself.
Great adventure story!

Solid 2 stars. Too much of, well... everything below... to get a higher rating.
Does anyone else find this book to be a bit too graphic? I mean... innards falling out, assumed rape, murder, and ugly images being put into my head for no apparent reason...
Not what I'd expect from a regency romance.
But then the romance is a bit much too.
Sorry. Picky reader here...
Yaaaaaah! Emma put on her big girl clothes! Here's to a much better second half than the first...
But... I do wish the whole 'brotherly affection' talk from Sidney would stop. It makes the romance seem fake and forced and predictable and unbelievable.
If Emma died right now... I wouldn't care... at all.
Emma. You are ridiculous. So ridiculous.
You know that moment when you want to stop reading, but can't because... well, you just can't.
Anyway, you want to stop reading because the situation is SO ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. So you put it away, and listen to the radio instead. Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if that very thing happens more than once. At least until Emma gets her crap together and stops fantasizing every two seconds...
Doesn't anyone else see how ridiculous the situation is?
She's going to sneak onto that boat, isn't she? Yah. Because that's a brilliant idea.
A girl whose whole life has been society and parties will do extremely well in a war zone/rescue mission... Good choice Emma. Good choice.
At this point... I don't really care if Emma ends up with Sidney or not.

I loved Sidney in "Becoming Lady Lockwood" and loved his and Emma's book every bit as much.
