Publisher Description
To Love During War is the sweet/tame version of The Wartime Bride.
My dearest hussar,
Harry, from the day you arrived at St. Vincent’s Fort six months ago, an undeniable attraction began to simmer away between us. Whenever I got too close to you, my traitorous heart skipped a dratted beat and butterflies would abound in my belly. You have tempted me with your honor and integrity, with your deep love for your family and your fellow soldiers-in-arms. I’m aware you will fight to the death to ensure Napoleon doesn’t end up taking Portugal, and so will I. Our enemy cannot be permitted to rule all of Europe, or to force his way onto England’s shores.
I admire all that you are, but you are also from a titled English family and of far better blood than I. My true parents abandoned me as a wee baby and if not for the professor who adopted me, I would have been left to perish. That is why I will never attempt to take our friendship any deeper than I should. Days together enjoying companionable friendship is all that I’ve asked for, but this war keeps tearing us apart, as if we shouldn’t even be permitted that much.
Never fear for me, my hussar—we will both survive this coming battle. It is time for us to slay our enemy, to win this dratted war, then for you to return safely to your family.
Yours in deep friendship, Julia.

Customer Reviews
Enjoyed the unusual setting in Portugal
I really enjoyed this book about the Battle of Sobral. I appreciate the effort the author took to be as historically accurate as possible. This was the first time I encountered a romance set during this time that does more than mention someone was either off fighting Napoleon or had just returned. You really feel the tension, understand Julia and Harry’s need to be with each other while they could because his unit could be called out to fight at any time. There were lighter moments as well, especially when Jamie was in the scene. Great characters and an interesting story.
My one criticism is that when Harry received a letter from his brother. He didn't open it, but was waiting until he was alone. I was expecting it to contain some news that would affect the plot but it wasn't even mentioned after that.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
