The Courting Campaign

The Master Matchmakers #1

by Regina Scott

The Nobleman and the Nanny 

Emma Pyrmont has no designs on handsome Sir Nicholas Rotherford—at least not for herself. As his daughter's nanny, she sees how lonely little Alice has been. With the cook's help, Emma shows the workaholic scientist just what Alice needs. But making Nicholas a better father makes Emma wish her painful past didn't mar her own marriage chances. 

Ever since scandal destroyed his career, Nicholas has devoted himself to his new invention. Now his daughter's sweet, quick-witted nanny is proving an unexpected distraction. All evidence suggests that happiness is within reach—if only a man of logic can trust in the deductions of his own heart.

This weekend I took the time to finish a trilogy which I had started awhile back (with the second book..because I didn't know there was a first and third...#blondemoment) and I wish I hadn't put these on hold!!!! They were wonderful!! "Love Inspired Hostoricals" quickly became my favorite source for clean Christian regencies when I read "Engaging the Earl" by Mandy Goff, and Regina Scott quickly became one of my favorite regency authors when I read "The Wife Campaign". These novels are full of wit, humor, mystery/plot, spiritual thoughts and encouragement, inspirational character growth, sweet/clean romance, and a charming peak into the regency world! This particular series has a very fun cast of "downstairs characters" as well as earls and dukes, lords and ladies...having the servants (particularly ladies maids and valets) orchestrate the matchmaking behind the scenes was a brilliant idea! They aren't heard from overly much and aren't constantly on the scene, however their influence and encouragement through subtle- and sometimes a bit more bold- hints and respectful observations to their masters is clearly visible.
Each of these books were refreshingly captivating and I recommend them to all regency lovers!

I'm not opposed to characters having faith, but the inner prayer dialogue in this is sooooo cheesy. And also very modern. It was annoying.

I also didn't feel like the conflict with the villain was dealt with well enough at the end. Maybe that story will be picked up in the next book, but this was not a very satisfying ending. Kind of a blah read overall. I needed something undemanding but distracting to read, and this didn't hold my interest enough to be distracting.

I really enjoyed reading this Historical Christian fiction book! I'm looking forward to reading the next books in the series! I was able to read a copy of this book via Overdrive, but it did not in any way affect my review. All opinions are my own.

Simply Charming! This is the First Love Inspired book I think I have read and I really enjoyed it! When I first came to find out about the Love Inspired books I was afraid they would be all lovey dovey with no meat to the stories. Then I read the book description about The Courting Campaign. I was greatly intrigued and I was not disappointed in the least! I LOVE the way Regina writes and the pace of her story is fabulous; with scenes seamlessly flowing in to others! I love the way she entwines the prayers of the main characters within their thoughts, I love the characters themselves, and I love the whole plot with it's twists and surprises! I have always enjoyed regency novels with it's center of British places and style and The Courting Campaign has become one of my all time favorites. From the experiments to the twists I was captured completely by this tale. Alice is charming to say the least and sweet as can be, and the chemistry between Emma and Nick is fabulous! This book, as well as it's characters, proved to be clever, quick, charming, courageous and lovable! From the beginning to the end I was laughing and completely in awe of the surprises!!! I think you will really enjoy this read as much as I do! And I was so excited when I found out that this is just the beginning of a series! I CAN'T WAIT for more!!! :)

The songs that I feel go with this book are: "Minuet in G" by Ludwig Von Beethoven, "Minuet" by Wedding Songs Music, and "Orphan's of God" by Avalon.

I stumbled across this book quite a while ago, and it seemed like the more times I glanced at it, the more hesitant I became to read it. The whole premise--servants trying to match-make for their master? Trying to set him up with a nanny, no less?--seemed to smack of modern sensibilities dressed up in historical garb, which is a problem I seem to be running across more and more. But I finally took the plunge, ready to cringe all the way through it.

And then--I didn't! I won't claim everything in the book was 100% historical (I'm not nearly that knowledgeable), but I can't point to any specific word, phrase, or event that jolted me out of the setting and made me feel like I was reading a modern story. And the whole master-nanny romance, which is probably the most historically improbable piece of the book, came about very naturally and believably, pretty much apart from the cook's plans to get them together.

Nick may have been my absolute favorite part of the story! He's a consummate scientist--that is, "natural philosopher" :)--not just in his profession, but in his thought patterns, his attitudes, his reactions, absolutely everything. Seeing things from his perspective was so endearing and made it obvious how badly Emma had misjudged him in the beginning. Not to say that he didn't have some learning and growing to do, but it's always good to be reminded that just because someone acts differently than we think they should, it doesn't mean they're unfeeling, uncaring, or wrong. And I loved that while Emma was able to change Nick's perspective on certain things, he never lost his personality or his uniqueness. Bravo!

Emma struck me at first as a bit of an unrealistic idealist and a little out of sync with what would have been normal thinking about love, family, etc. in her time. But when it became clear that her views had been formed through reading books and filtered through her own rose-colored imagination, she became a lot less unbelievable and more understandable. Her interactions with Alice were very sweet, and I loved the way she came to understand Nick better and better as time went on.

And then Charlotte. That woman had me utterly confused for the longest time! From sweet to sour to encouraging to demanding, sometimes within the space of a single paragraph. But here's the thing--it never felt like inconsistent characterization. She's the kind of person who would be just as confusing in real life, who you know has some reason to be the way she is, you just can't for your life figure out what or why. In fact, trying to figure out who she really was and what her role in the story was going to be kept me engaged in the story more than any other single element!

I was so glad the romance was focused more on Nick and Emma coming to love each other's hearts and personalities than on the physical attraction between them. The few kisses that were described were not descriptive, which I really appreciated, and although they noticed each other's physical appearance on occasion, I didn't feel uncomfortable with the descriptions. The only thing that bugged me a little was that several times their attention seemed to center on each other's lips for no really good reason.

I appreciated the inclusion of the strong faith element, as well as the fact that the main characters didn't suddenly decide to act like injured martyrs or spoiled children when various troubles threatened their relationship. ;) I'd like it if we (and they) could have gotten a little more insight into the circumstances surrounding Ann's death, but that would probably be asking too much.

Congratulations to Regina Scott on turning a very wary reader into a very pleased and satisfied one. I'll definitely approach the second book in the series with a lot less skepticism. :)

4 stars

Content--some noticing of physical appearance, including lips; a few non-descriptive kisses; mentions of physical abuse; references to dangerous mining conditions and deaths

I struggled to get into this book, even though it's set in one of my favorite time periods.

It could be because I've just gone reading two biblical fiction books and a few contemporary romances, though.

Nicholas was so unfeeling and so into his experiments that he didn't even know who the nanny caring for his little girl was when he met her! It took me almost half of the book before I finally started to like him.

I did enjoy Alice and Emma, though. They are both so sweet and Emma was a great nanny for Alice. Alice, however, needed to stop blaming everything on Lady Chamomile!

Charlotte, Nicholas's sister in law, was just plain awful. I WAS a little surprised by her at the end, though.

I am hoping the second book is a bit easier to get into!

[Katie · Rating 3 out of 5]

The characters were pretty good, but the girl annoyed me at times and the plot was very predictable. I felt like there was too much "I can't be a good husband so I need to push her away". But otherwise it was a decent book. :)

Emma Pyrmont has escaped a terrible childhood with her foster family to join the household of the noted natural philosopher Sir Nicholas Rotherford as nanny to his small daughter Alice. Emma adores the sweet young girl in her charge and wishes her employer would feel the same. With the help of some meddling servants, she sets out to court Sir Nicholas - not for herself, as the servants wish, but for his daughter. She also hopes to show him the valuable lesson she learned, that everyone is loved by God. Nick has no time for anything but science. His reputation and the lives of men in his care are on the line. He's working to develop a safety lantern for use in the mines. He was on the verge once, but a failure resulted in the loss of his reputation and the needless loss of lives of miners on his estate. He's determined to find a solution, even if it kills him. Then, his daughter's nanny intrudes on his solitude with an understanding of natural philosophy and of human nature and he begins to see value in Alice and Emma. Logic tells him he was a terrible husband to his late wife and his hypothesis is he will be a terrible husband if he married again. It's better to leave Alice in charge of her nanny and his sister-in-law Charlotte than burden her with an unhappy mother. Then Emma's past catches up with her and they learn valuable lessons about love and Faith.

This is the most poorly written of all Regina Scott's novels, in my opinion. There's a whole lot about science, which is somewhat interesting but not really my thing, and also a whole lot about God and God's love. That doesn't interest me either. The religious content in woven into the story and is a huge part of Emma's life. The theme is about forgiveness and God's love. I don't mind a quick send up prayer or a more general theme but I found this one rather too heavy handed for my liking. There's no good reason for Emma to think the way she does. Her foster brothers have a more realistic outlook. A little more explanation on how she came to the conclusion that she is loved and deserves a better life would have been nice. The plot is somewhat interesting. For once, the villainy is more subtle and not really a big part of the plot. It's tossed in at the end to conclude the story. It was obvious to me what was going on with a certain person but I attributed their motive to something else. I liked the way Emma and Nicholas come together and understand each other. There's very little in the way of romance and courtship in the traditional sense but there's a true meeting of the minds. The romance plot wraps up too quickly though. The modern American language really really annoyed me in this book. It threw me off big time reading nanny and having characters eat biscuits for breakfast. (Can I get a recipe please?) The epilogue sets the stage for the next book and one character from this one appears throughout the series, but this book stands alone apart from the other two.

The characters are decently written but not very appealing. Emma is a little too good for my liking. She has utmost faith in God and in the people she chooses to surround herself with. She has a backbone though, which I liked, but I kept willing her to stand up for herself a bit more than she did. She had the right to keep her past a secret and what happened was very personal, but I felt like she needed to share that information earlier than she did. I felt sympathy for her but she wasn't a character I could identify with.

Alice is a sweet child. She doesn't really sound 4. More like 6. I like her doll, Lady Camomile and Alice's attachment to her doll. It's cute and provides a good insight into Alice's feelings. I didn't like some of the messages Alice was given about her doll and childhood. At that time, the new philosophy was to let children be free and natural.

At first I didn't like Nicholas. He was too scientific, using that approach to everything. He wasn't a good father and didn't understand anything about children. Once the story switched to his point-of-view and he admitted to himself why he was so hesitant to let people into his life, then I felt bad for him. I liked his character development a lot.

I wouldn't recommend this book to those who don't like preachy Christian fiction.

3.5 Stars. Three months earlier orphaned Emma Pyrmont fled London and her foster father's abuses for a position in the secluded Derbyshire countryside as a nanny. Entering service is a step down in the world, but the sacrifice is worth it, allowing Emma to determine the course of her future, free from her foster family's abuse and manipulation. Like her foster father, the master of the house and father of her young charge, Sir Nicholas, is a natural philosopher -- and while lacking the former's penchant for outright abuse seems content to leave the raising of Alice to servants. When Mrs. Jennings, the cook, makes an audacious proposal, suggesting that Emma set her cap at the master and thus assure Alice of a loving and stable home life, Emma is scandalized. But her well-meaning fellow servant's attempt at matchmaking plants the seed of a plan within Emma -- she'll "court" Sir Nicholas on behalf of her young charge, thereby revealing to him the joys of fatherhood. But steering Nicholas's attention from his critical work developing a safety lamp for his estate's mining venture is easier said than done, and as Emma redoubles her efforts to bridge the gap between father and child, she finds herself in danger of losing her heart to the very type of man she'd sworn to avoid.

I've taken note of Regina Scott's novels before -- mostly thanks to her lovely covers -- but never read one, and in the mood for a quick, light read I decided to try her latest series, The Master Matchmakers. I love the concept behind each volume, wherein well-meaning and dedicated staff attempt to see their employers happily wed. It's a cute conceit that plays well here in relation to the trope of a nanny/governess figure falling in love with her employer. While Mrs. Jennings's initial suggestion to Emma rather awkwardly introduces the concept of matchmaking, once Emma determines to open Nicholas's eyes to his daughter the unofficial, familial ease that develops between the trio is well-developed.

I really liked Scott's emphasis on early nineteenth-century science, especially as regards Emma's own aptitude for the subject, uncommon in an era that placed a strict emphasis on women developing the "drawing room" arts of music, embroidery, and the like. Both Emma and Nicholas are fairly well-drawn -- while Emma's characterization felt a little flat to me -- her objections to scientific experimentation and its practitioners are certainly well founded, but expressed in a rather rote manner -- Nicholas was rather interesting. He seems to have Asperger's, and given the time period and lack of a diagnosis and understanding of the way in which his brain works, Emma's frustration is understandable. Scott does an excellent job revealing how Nicholas thinks and just how important his process is to him, and watching both him and Emma work toward understanding each other's personalities and needs makes for a sweetly-crafted romance.

The Courting Campaign is a nicely-executed historical with warmth, humor, and an admirable depth, the latter a pleasant surprise given the novel's category-length format. I wish the faith factor had felt rather more organic to the storyline -- it would've been nice to see how faith came to be such an important aspect of helping Emma overcome her past, rather than simply taking her word for it. And while Nicholas and Emma do reach a romantic accord, I would've liked a bit more relational development there -- perhaps greater collaboration on his experiments? However, this proved to be a pleasant manner in which to while away a few hours, and I like the concept of well-meaning but meddlesome matchmaking servants enough to guarantee I'll check out subsequent volumes in the series.

Review on my blog: http://christianbookshelfreviews.blog...

The Courting Campaign is the sixth book I've read by Regina Scott and definitely one of my favorites! I loved how Nick was a scientist and in the midst of trying to make a new invention work - that whole aspect was very interesting! I also loved how in spite of Emma's background, she was able to overcome it and find a better life for herself. Another thing I adored about this book was the father/daughter angle. It was neat to watch Nick and his daughter interact with each other.

I really liked the suspense in The Courting Campaign. Even though I wasn't surprised to find out about someone's guilt in what had happened, there were a couple scenes that had me tense because I was wondering how things were going to work out.

The romance was sweet and I absolutely loved The Courting Campaign's epilogue!! It definitely whet my appetite for the next book in the The Master Matchmakers series, The Wife Campaign, set to release December of this year. I recommend The Courting Campaign if you enjoy historical romance novels. :)

Emma is the nanny to an inventor’s daughter. She was raised by an inventor and has bad memories and wants nothing to do with getting involved with Nicholas but as she gets to know him she learns that he may be an inventor but he cares and his deep feeling of responsibility pushes him to work and not spend enough time with his daughter. When Emma’s character is questioned Emma and Nicholas have to work together to get to the truth and they both find themselves realizing they need each other.

This book was a little different. I have not read a book about an inventor in this time period and found it interesting.

What I liked: Both Emma and Nicholas were interesting characters. I liked how the author had Nicholas think through things just like a scientist might. It really helped to bring him to life for me. I also found it interesting learning about the light he was trying to create to help coal miners.

What I did not like: The romance was just okay. It would have been nice had there been a little more meat added to it. Not a big issue but just would have helped it a little.

Overall this was a good book and I also liked the supporting characters like the cook and other household staff. I am interested to see if the next book will have any of them in it. If you like historical fiction I would recommend this book.

The Courting Campaign was such an enjoyable read. Regina Scott did a great job of crafting a hero who was very scientific, but still approachable.

Sir Nicholas Rotherford is a driven man. He feels compelled to solve a scientific problem in order to assure the safety of the miner's who work on his land. He is so driven in his need to help them, that he has neglected the relationship with his four year old daughter.

Emma Pyrmont is his daughter's new nanny and she is determined to help Sir Nicholas bond with his daughter. She begins a courting campaign. She plans to woo Nicholas back to his daughter. But in bringing him closer to his daughter, will she be able to handle the feelings she begins to have for him?

I found this story to have very likeable characters and an interesting story line that kept me reading enthusiastically all the way to the end.

Another wonderful thing about this book was the beautiful descriptions of life in 1815 and the vivid descriptions of surroundings. One such example is, "In London, the mists had been tainted with sulfur from the many coal fires. Here they clung to the river, cool and moist and smelling of summer."

I received a copy of this story for free from the author through a contest and was not required to write a review, although I happily do so.

This book is perfect for romance lovers who like a good story that is kept clean. There is a Christian theme behind the book, the main character, Emma, has strong religious beliefs. They are a prominent theme in the way that she lives her life.

Emma was an orphan. She recently escaped from the clutches of a foster father who misused the orphans entrusted to his care. She took employment as a nanny in a small village, far from London. She has fallen in love with her charge, Alice, and seeks to bring her more to the attention of her father.

She begins a campaign to court the daughter and father. Nicholas, Alice's father is consumed by his desire to create a non-flammable lamp to aid mine workers. He is so set on his goal, that he has left little time for his daughter.

Emma believes in a family that can be happy together and wishes this for Alice. She doesn't realize that when she is promoting the daughter, that she would spend more time with Nicholas and fall in love with him as well.

I enjoyed reading the book. It is well written and engaging. The characters are very likable. The plot is solid and fun to experience.

Emma is a nanny for four year old Alice. Her father, a scientist, doesn't seem to have time for Alice so Emma decides its up to her to get his attention for Alice. She finds ways to manipulate him to spend time with Alice.

Nick has made it his mission in life to invent a safety lamp for England's coal miners to use that won't cause explosions when they hit pockets of flammable gas. With a little help from Emma and a few walks to clear his head, he's able to come up with a solution along with spending time with his daughter. But then things get complicated and they have to work through a few things.

Was a good story that kept things happening to keep my attention and not put the book down until I was finished reading it. Looking forward to more of this series.

The Courting Campaign was very nearly what I expected--no more, yet also no less. The novel is by no means a masterpiece--it is not written well, it is very predictable, and the emotions, reactions, thoughts, and speech of the characters could be over the top and bordering on ridiculous. However, it served its purpose as a light, warm-hearted afternoon read, with just enough excitement/surprises to keep the pages turning.

The Grange, near the Peak District, Derbyshire, England, June 1815

Emma Pyrmont is the new nanny for Nicholas Rotherford and his daughter, Alice. She was lucky to secure this position and she feels blessed to have found it. She likes being away from London and away from her foster father, Samuel Fredericks.

Nicholas is an inventor and widower. After his wife died, his SIL came to live with them and run the house. Ms. Dunworthy is a mild irritation but Nicholas doesn't care much because he is busy trying to invent a lamp that the coal miners can use underground.

The servants get it in there minds that Emma would be a good fit for Mr. Rotherford but once this is mentioned the book changes direction to become Emma’s manipulation tactics over Mr. Rotherford and not her hooking up with him.

Emma resents that Nicholas ignores his young daughter. She does everything she can think of to force the two together. He antics are very humorous but they are clever. I didn't prefer them. I feel like she didn't try to understand what his motives where and she efforts came off as high manipulation and creepy.

Emma holds a secret from Nicholas about her past. She is very careful about who knows about her past but the author just tells the reader enough to know that she is an orphan and was raised by a cold man. There's really not much else about her life. Nicholas hates Samuel Fredericks. The author fills in the reader a bit about this but only just a bit.

My point is that there isn't much substance to this book. The author doesn't really take the characters and develop them fully. I didn't like Emma. I thought she was a controlling ass. I didn't like Nicholas because I thought he was a slow witted dunce. The rest of the characters are forgettable.

Overall, the romance was forced and lame. "...because they were deeply in love, enough to overlook all fault of upbringing or misfortune." What is that? The characters were flat, the story was boring, the romance was laughable. Book ends with the rap up of a minor mystery. Who stole the research papers. Nothing was cryptic, I wasn't surprised. Not much is historically accurate. The science in the book was interesting. There are discussion questions in the back of the book. I was surprised by this because I found the book to be very low scale and hardly anything to discuss.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

[Lyssa · Rating 4 out of 5]

What really sets these kinds of books apart is the setting of the story and what makes the characters different. I found learning about mines, lanterns and associated science of the time (1815) fascinating. And I knew that orphan asylums existed back then, and obviously adoption, but I did not know that being a foster parent was a practice then.

The plot was fairly predictable, picking up on the earliest clues, though I got the motivations wrong. I enjoyed Sir Nicholas' unique voice, mannerisms, and his puzzlement when interacting with people. Emma is a bit progressive for the time, but she is strong. Gives the impression that no matter what she will land on her feet and I appreciated reading things from a perspective of intelligence and confidence, rather than the determined doubt and insecurity that stalks this genre.

I took issue with common misconception that we can't control our feelings/love ("Jesus had commanded His followers to “love one another.” Would He give such a commandment if people had no control over their ability to love?" -Widow of Larkspur Inn). I found the grace, mercy and forgiveness a bit unbelievable, but inspiring all the same. And I loved Emma's steady prayers and relationship with God.

[Lea Carter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Emma loves her job as nanny, but is thoroughly frustrated with Sir Nicholas, who is wholly invested in his science experiments. Can't he see that his daughter is more important? Well, Emma will have something to say about that!
Nicholas is a man of supreme focus and dedication, determined to create a safety device for the mines. Yet somehow the infernal nanny - and his adorable daughter - keep interrupting him.
Regina Scott weaves a delightful tale of intrigue, longing for a real family, greed vs honor, and even true love in The Courting Campaign.
My one claim to disappointment is that I have yet to discover related books telling of Emma's foster siblings' happy endings.

[Angelica Morado-Young · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very good story as it had interesting characters and a historical look at the possible invention of a safe lantern for the miners. As a romance reader, I found the heroine very determined in making her own life away from the abuse of her foster father and in caring for the daughter of the house the master of the house.

[Michelle · Rating 2 out of 5]

This fell short in the chemistry department for me, because Nicholas was so stuck in his work that he couldn't see anything else. He would interact a little and then go hide in his workshop. Just not a very enjoyable hero dynamic for me, it might not bother someone else at all.
