The American Revolution is finally over, and Sophie Menzies is starved for good news. When her nearest neighbor, General Seamus Ogilvy, finally comes home to Tall Acre, she hopes it is a sign of better days to come. But the general is now a widower with a small daughter in desperate need of a mother. Nearly destitute, Sophie agrees to marry Seamus and become the mistress of Tall Acre in what seems a safe, sensible arrangement. But when a woman from the general's past returns without warning, the ties that bind this fledgling family together will be strained to the utmost. When all is said and done, who will be the rightful mistress of Tall Acre?

Unflinching and plainspoken, Tessa Swan is not your typical 18th-century woman. Born and bred on the Western Virginia frontier along with her five brothers, she is a force to be reckoned with. Quiet and courageous, Clay Tygart is not your typical 18th-century man. Raised by Lenape Indians, he returns a hero from the French and Indian War to the fort that bears his name, bringing with him Tessa's long-lost friend, Keturah, a redeemed Indian captive like himself. Determined to avoid any romantic entanglements as fort commander, Clay remains aloof whenever he encounters the lovely Tessa.

I love all of Laura Frantzs' books. I feel like she makes history come alive in beautiful stories as she intertwines detailed history in each of her stories! and they're not always predictable. Just when you think the story is about to end, there an unforseen twist. Great author and narrator is excellent as well!

Masterful tie up of multiple plots
I had concerns about this third novel. It started so far from where the second one left off, I thought there wasn’t any way to satisfy my curiosity about the plot line. To my delight, not only did the story tie everything together, it did so with so many twists, I felt my emotions were on a rollercoaster! I loved it!

Ending Left Me with Questions
Because of threats and danger, Rowena Ballantyne’s father had moved to Cane Run, Kentucky, and she grew up there. When he decides to return to Pittsburg, Wren finds her backwoods culture not acceptable to the high society of the Ballantynes, but James Sackett ends up helping her to navigate it all. Yet, danger still persists, and relationships become confusing and complicated. Can a simple woman find the life she wants amid all the glitz, glamour, and intrigue?
I enjoyed this book, but it wasn’t as good as Love’s Awakening. The middle section of the book moved too slowly and included too much that didn't move the story forward. The ending didn't tie up all the loose ends, either. For example: What happened about the Ganare and Nightingale violins? What about Manning (who was gunning for James)? I don't think he would have been one of the henchmen caught, and the book didn’t say. Will James will stay in Scotland when the war comes, and what will Wren do? Still, it was an enjoyable novel that is still better than most. I gave it 4.5, which rounded up to a five.
It appeared to me the series was set up to continue, perhaps with Bennett in California, but this didn't happen. I did feel this one left too much hanging with the whole Ballantyne family to be the last in the series. But since no other one has come out, I wonder if Frantz didn't run out of ideas or get tired of the series herself. #Nostalgic #PreCivilWar #FamilyDrama #Perservance #HappyEnding
