About this listen
A picture of pure shock and curiosity, Emma placed her empty glass down, "Surely, you are not suggesting I dress as a man and enlist in the Union Army!"
"That is precisely what I am suggesting."
In an era when women are adornments, northerner Emma Mansfield finds it challenging to fit the mold. It becomes an impossible task when her country is torn apart by civil war. Knowing she must take action, Emma finds herself in the midst of danger and intrigue when she takes up the guise of a young artillery soldier for the Union Army. Desperately trying to find out if her two brothers are alive, Emma must maintain her anonymity as she fights for survival.
Please note: this is historical romance. I have represented the historical facts to the best of my ability and done countless hours of research. However, I have taken some liberties and creatively interpreted some items to make the story more entertaining. I hope you enjoy this work of fiction.

There was action as the author tells the story of the historic battles won/lost and well researched accounts of the horrors of the war and the cruelty of soldiers toward the enemy
There was romance in the relationship between Emma and her fiancé Colin which is a slow sweet romance with emotion rather than explicit sex scenes
And there is adventure as Emma and Colin make the journey home from the battlefield
This is a really well written historical romance
Kristyl Dawn Tift was a brilliant narrator who put real emotion into her narration and did a good job with male and female voices
I highly recommend this book!

The echoes of one of my favourite Disney films Mulan told me I should give this a try. What's not to love about a strong female lead driven by courage and honour and family?
This certainly did not disappoint. I was fully invested in Emma and her journey. The writing flowed and had me feeling like I was in that time period with her as she navigated through the literal and figurative battlefield. I didn't question her ability to hide her true identity because I was too busy routing for her to keep her secret and falling in love with the building romance.
It may not be your usual genre but I would rate this highly and suggest you give it a listen. Secrets, loyalty and love. It might just surprise you.

The narrator did a great job with a clear delivery, good voices and engagement in the subject. I found the standard pace too slow but 1.25 speed was just right. I would recommend this book as a light romantic, easy listen for readers who want a bit more depth to their story.
I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for a review.
