The language and imagery in this book is enough to have me craving for more from author Rita Gerlach. The one downfall to this book was that I felt that things went so fast and there was not always enough depth as I would like, but with a 400 page book and so many things happening, one can only fit in so many words. Bringing forth the best of an English native land as well as a post-Revolutionary America hosts an exciting setting for this story of romance, betrayal, heart break, and adventure. The interweaving of the characters past, present, and future is beautiful and believable. I loved the main character and it was so good to have a book that followed a man's point of view for once instead of a woman.

I am really excited about the new publishing house of Abingdon Press and this cover is absolutely to die for!

Midway through this book, I was beginning to get a little bored, but am glad I stuck with it. I enjoy historical fiction and this book had a little mystery, including murder and kidnapping, as well as adventure and romance so it should appeal to a wide rang of readers. Descriptions are important for me to be able to picture the situation in my mind, but at times I believe they were a little over done and I admit to skipping some lengthy ones. Other times, I found sentences to be shot and choppy, but that may jut be the author's waiting style that I am not used to. Overall, I enjoyed this book and will look or others by this author.
