The War of 1812.... a British Lieutenant... the plantation owners daughter... separation, reunion, prisoner, marriage.... an all consuming story
Romance Very light reading
This book was about a physic who helped a man find his son who disappeared and was told he didnt exsist. The physic was also looking for husband and sister in law. the ending surprised me and i enjoyed reading it.
This book was captivating. The characters were well defined, the descriptions were vivid, the plotline was rivoting. I was completely swept away with Anne and John's love story and with Anne's love of her homeland and family. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
This is the first book of the Georgia Trilogy.
Entertaining, easy reading, yet more for girl age 14 and up.

Anne Couper knew that one day love would come for her-love for one man, endless and abiding. But she never expected that the very first time she looked into the eyes of Lieutenant John Fraser on her eighteenth birthday she would see there the certainty that this man, her enemy, loved her as deeply as she loved him. The lush plantation of Dungeness would become her prison, the man she loved would be her jailer, and together they would learn that while love offers joy, it also brings harsh choices.

Another great story by Eugenia Price. I love all her books.
