In the game of love, only the winner can have the woman of his dreams, or so they would have you think. When a Jane Austen reenactment group pits themselves against the Scottish Highland Games enthusiasts it is all out war, but two from opposite sides have the opportunity to find love, and it couldn’t be in a more outrageous setting as this one.
Julian Wallace is the owner of a state park, and doesn’t want to let a woman like Kate Simmons think she can do as she likes on his land, but when he meets her and sees how she reacts to his demands on the battlefield, he starts to like her for her spunk and the dress she’s wearing – yet he’s also wearing a skirt of sorts, a Highland kilt, and he wears it like a man should!
Julian feels he is a trained professional, while Kate is a rank amateur when it comes to reenactments, and he does not want to let her get too full of herself with her Regency men and women doing the things he doesn’t really understand under his nose.
Love is a Battlefield (Games of Love, Book 1) is the debut novel for this writer, and she has set off her writing career in a delightful flourish. Her heroine, Kate knows she is in modern times, yet she is unwilling to let that bother her in any way when she wants to feel how Jane Austen’s characters felt in such a bygone era. She likes the setting and all the trappings that come with it and in some ways feels safe in that environment – and, let’s face it, she only gets one chance in a while to feel that way and pretend that she’s there, slap, bang in the middle of Regency England complete with musicians, and authentic scenery, but it’s isn’t as good as she thinks, some of the scenery is lacking and what is worse, the music comes straight from a CD player!
It does take a bit of getting started, but once the characters are established, Tamara is in full swing with the story and the comedy. Tamara has got the setting just right, and the characters are full of light-hearted comedy. It’s an uplifting first novel that is as descriptive as it is entertaining.
