awesome story. recommending to all my friends.
Anyone who is looking for a great Colonial American saga has to pick up this book. I couldn't put it down and can't wait for the next one to come out.
Totally enjoyed it. I loved the setting--revolutionary America. The characters are real, likable and stayed with me whenever I put the book down. The historical story--I won't spoil it--held some wonderful surprises, and the romance was top notch. While I'm a friend of Lyn's, that doesn't take away from the fact I found myself carrying my kindle into the kitchen so I could read while making a sandwich because I had to see what happened next! That's my definition of a great read.
