Description from the publisher:
The year is 1865 and The Civil War
is officially over, but tensions are still high as everyone tries to get back
to normal. Emily Evans and her mama, Rachel, are waiting for their men to come
home. They’ve spent the last two years doing whatever it takes to hold on to
their Texas farm, so when a passel of Union soldiers makes their way through on
their way back to the North, the women find a possible solution to keeping
their land out of the bank’s hands.
The last battle of the war, a fruitless skirmish at Palmito Ranch, was Isaack Ward’s last chance for a death of honor. When he survives the futile conflict the North lost, he and his men can only begin the long journey home. The last thing he expects is to fall ill and wake up to a loving gaze and halo of golden curls.
Recuperating on a farm somewhere in east Texas, Isaack realizes he has nothing to go home to and only love and comfort where he is. Emily’s sunshiny demeanor and caring outlook provide visions of a future he hadn’t thought he deserved.

When Emily receives word her future husband isn’t coming home, she allows herself to acknowledge the emotions evoked by the quiet soldier with the dangerous eyes. Can she learn to love the enemy?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOVING THE ENEMY is the first
companion book in the Book B!tches series. This story is entwined with POWER OF
LOVE, the first in the series.
Emily was an integral part in Linc
and Vanessa’s story. She was the ghost
that helped Vanessa to follow her heart.
This is the story of Emily and her love, Isaak, a Yankee soldier!
I loved this story and the tug of
loyalty versus heart. Is it being
disloyal to love a Yankee?
I do like historical fiction,
especially when there is a kernel of true history woven into the fabric of the
tale so that I just might learn something without being bored to tears… or is
that frustrated to tears by trying to remember those dates? Either way, I loved it!
I thought it was great fun to get
insight into who Emily was before she was a ghost. I hope there will be more companion books
with some of the other ghosts and their life stories.
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC,
my opinions are my own and are given freely.
