I listened to this book on my Kindle with Bluetooth. It is a light, easy, quick read. The description of the book describes it very well. Hard to imagine the scenario of this type of war so many years ago, living in the country sustained by what you can provide on your farm and having the fighting so close that you can hear it.
We have a damsel in distress with medical training from her father, and a desire to achieve something in her life, an injured soldier, a love interest, war, bad guys, unethical superiors, a high ranking brother, an escape and then life ever after. This book covers it all.
I have read several fascinating awesome books in the past few weeks, this was a nice diversion but not quite in the caliber of a great book. It was written well but I felt the character development was rather shallow. I did find it entertaining and enjoyed reading it.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Covenant Communications through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. This one gets 3***’s.

Omg !!!! such a beautiful story set against the backdrop of the war of 1812...I dont know anything about this war but in her novel My Dearest Enemy, author Jennifer Moore has given us an insight of this war, by her brilliant & hopefully acurate research ...she brings to life an excellent story that takes place during the war ...the fresh thing i noted was this book puts light on history from perspectives of all sides- British, Canadian, and American.

The start itself was so mind blowing ,i got hooked onto from the 1st chapter itself....Abigail is a healer from Canada and on the British side of the War. When she finds a wounded soldier in her barn who is barely alive,,, she treats & heals him despite being at odds with the side he is fighting on...Captain Emmett Prescott is a strong leader with solid integrity and plenty of courage,he is charming, funny, and logical.Emmett is mending, his men find him and recruit Abigail to doctor one of the other men in his small patrol on American soil.

All the characters have been well ingrained in the book ...a particular detail i loved in the story was Emmett and Abigail's interest in rocks and geology... Abigail's character is compassionate nature , incredibly strong,independent and intelligent, She has a strong desire to help and feel needed. She learns more about these men and grows to care for them all despite them being American. She even grows to love Emmett and he grows to love her as well.

This is the 1st book by Jennifer that i have read . am glad to say it was a total delight ... The hardships, struggle faced by people because of war.climate in those times was phenomenal... can't even imagine the difficulties , turbulent times,undue situations dealt by the people of that ....Jennifer had very well presented her book taking into regard all the research & beautifully incorporated with the story ... pls do read the book its a sweet , engrossing book .... i highly recommend it

Romance, clean; period
This was probably my favorite of all of J.M.'s books I have read. I loved the period war setting, and the characters were likeable and real. Not totally sure of the historical accuracy of all of the medical things, I confess I am not sure about that, hopefully the author researched it. That being said, this was a lovely read. Tension, drama, life and death, and in the course of it all Abigail and Emmett manage to fall deeply in love. Loved the rocks and how they helped the story along. A beautiful, period love story with some great secondary supporting characters.
