Relation Toward Books An Infamous Army (Alastair-Audley Tetralogy #4)

In the summer of 1815, beneath the aegis of the Army of Occupation, Brussels is the gayest town in Europe. And the red-haired widow Lady Barbara Childe, renowned for being as outrageous as she is beautiful, is at the centre of the social whirl and of all that is fashionable and light-hearted. However, the city was a nest of intrigue --Napoleon threatened Europe--but the talk was only of this dazzling and tempestuous young. Every brilliant ball, supper, and concert in the feverish spring seemed to bring her a new conquest by storm. She is the talk of the ton. She flirts shamelessly, dresses outrageously, and scandalizes polite society. That doesn't stop one of her adorers--the dashing Colonel Charles Audley, an aide-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington-- from falling madly in love with the beautiful young widow--and proposing marriage. Threatened by the growing tide of scandal, she allowed Colonel Charles Audley to claim her for his bride.

The eve of the fateful Battle of Waterloo, their betrothal falls apart. It isn't until Charles marches off to fight Napoleon that Barbara discovers where her heart lies. Now, she can do nothing but wait as the battle rages, praying for the safety of the one man who can set her free from her wild impulses. But as the clouds of war gathered, he turned from her in a sudden, mysterious indifference. Stunned, bewildered, Barbara wondered what secret she must fathom, what new seduction must she devise, to regain the one man who--she ruefully realized--had truly claimed her heart?

Commentary Out Of Books An Infamous Army (Alastair-Audley Tetralogy #4)

This is the love story of the scandalous Bab Childe and her Colonel Charles Audley... but not really. It's a story about learning to be self aware, and how times of struggle and strengthen and mature a person.... kind of. This is about how frivolous people can be in times of impending doom.... in a way. This is really the story of the battle of Waterloo..... but not really that either. Ugh! Apparently this is one of the most historically accurate tellings of the Battle of Waterloo in all of

Warning; there may be spoilers for Regency Buck & Devil's Cub in this review,as GH uses characters from both in this book.My good GR friend Hana has covered the historical side of reviewing the book, & I don't feel I can better her comments. This is her review (linked to with her permission) https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... I will mention that GH was meticulous in her research - at the back of the book is what she calls the "short" bibliography & that runs to two & a half

Why didn't I stop after the third book? Why? An Infamous Army is the fourth book in Alastair-Audley series. It features the brother of the Regency Buck hero and the granddaughter of the couple from Devil's Cub. I loved those books and their characters. Heyer should have left them alone.On the other hand I loved the hero in this one. He is, simply put, perfect.As for the heroine, that's tricky. You start being annoyed at first until you actually see her. And I mean see her the way Colonel Charles

Wow. I expected this to be romance story with a little bit of war thrown in but in reality it's a war story with a love story thrown in for good measure. I knew nothing of Waterloo, apart from the outcome and that it involved the Duke of Wellington and Napoleon Bonaparte, which I suspect was all I remembered from reading Vanity Fair as I didn't learn anything about it at school. But apparently Heyer's description is historically spot on. I admit it was hard going, I admit I skimmed the war

This is exactly the bracing kind of story I needed. Jolly good fun, as the general population of characters in this book would say. Georgette Heyer has always been good at adventure stories set amongst the British upper class, but in this she has far outdone herself. Her research is astounding. The second half of the book largely consists of an enormously through (about 150 pages long) play by play account of the battle of Waterloo, and its' immediate lead up and aftermath. Heyer seems to know

My 16th Georgette Heyer This is a great book but I don't think I was able to enjoy it fully. Had I never read it's pseudo-prequel Regency Buck, I would have enjoyed certain characters more and wouldn't have waited for them to ruin my fun. I spent half of this book waiting for the other shoe to drop, but when I relaxed, I became so enthralled with Barbara and Charles that I didn't mind the blow-by-blow description of the Battle of Waterloo.

This book is not for the faint of heart. I believe it is best suited to a passionate Georgette Heyer fan who also loves a well-researched historical setting. This took me some time to get through, as there are lots of moving parts to keep track of: many names, places, regiments and such. The descriptions of the battle, it's aftermath, injuries/deaths to both horses and men may be alarming to some. For me it was very enlightening and has sparked a desire to learn more about 'Napoleon's 100 days'
