Wonderful

This was well written, interesting and a sweet romance. There were so many things going on, such a different time. The story and characters unfolded so well, made you feel the story. I enjoyed this read and recommend it to all. I received it as a gift and this is my voluntary review.

Wonderful & Entertaining

This started out with two giggly girls and I've very pleased to say that these girls matured as the story progressed. Once the military came to town, things picked up. It was pretty easy to understand that Justin was duping everyone. I really liked Mason, Pup and Peyton. I loved listening to this. This narrator does a brilliant job of keeping you entertained.

I really enjoyed this!

A read full of history, mystery and romance. It's so nice to be able to read clean wholesome romance books and still feel the enchantment of love. While I tend to be more of a wholesome contemporary romance reader, this historical read pleasantly surprised me. The narrative was very good on this. I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Enjoyed this audiobook

This audiobook was great and I loved listening to the narrator especially when she was reading Shay’s part or any of the Irish. I have read stories about indentured servants before and it’s a subject I like. It amazes me that these people will leave everything they know and give up family to try and make their lives better. They really didn’t know just how bad it would be in America and was expecting greater things. Add this audiobook with a sweet romance to your collection. I think you will love it!

Sweet Historical Romance

I really enjoyed this romance! It was like all her friends and family were conspiring to hook her up with the colonel even though she was "practically engaged" to her long time beau! The narration was really good! The characters were different enough to tell them apart, and then men sounded like men!

1st in a great series

I listened to this one on audio. What a great start to the series! If the rest of the series is near as good, I will be in love. The story was great with a bit of mystery thrown in. I thought the characters were well written and the story flowed nicely. The narrator was great, I thought she did a fantastic job.
