Wonderful historical romance that takes place in Louisiana during the post Civil War era. Looking forward to reading the other two books in the trilogy. I am a fan of novels that focus on America during this period.
Classified as Christian fiction, but I did not find it to be "oppressive."

I adore this series and this latest is just as good as the first two, but the heroine isn't scarred or has had a horrible life like her two other sisters. This is a tender, post civil war romance that's perfect for readers who enjoy sweeter then steam and for teens.
A much recommended read!

Book3 of the Irish Angels series. Good story, well written; has a wonderful flavor of the south. I'm glad the author didn't detail the war, instead the story is about rebuilding, reunion. Enjoyable.
This was a very good book.....loved the author's style....and had a hard time putting the book down....even though I didn't read the first two books of the series...this sounded like the best one.
3.5 I didn't realize that I was reading the last one first, but it was a great and clean story. I am anxious to read the first two now!
Pretty good for a romance of sorts. A bit out of the ordinary. I liked it enough to want to read the other two in this trilogy.
a good way to wrap up the series though i wish more of the other characters were mentioned from previous books
I loved this book. I loved the dynamic between Kate and Colin and how after all the years and heartaches they were able to find each other.
What I liked about this novel was that the story and characters were interesting. I don’t read a lot of Civil War-era or Reconstruction-era books, so I’m not an expert, but I thought the plot of this novel was more original than some. Kate is determined to rebuild her friend’s home; Colin is even more determined for her to leave. Throw in a marriage of convenience and two kids, and the story ramps up even more, but all of this ‘action’ kept things moving along.

Story line was okay, but the author did not do a very good job of tying this book in with the previous 2 books of the series.
Nice ending to a fun trilogy.
