I am currently in the process of reading three nonfiction books that are all in the Civil War era. Usually when I'm reading about something that is deep and historical I like to mix in a fun fictional read that is also in that same time period, which is why I picked up Liberty Belle by Patricia PacJac Carroll.
It's 1859 and Liberty Longstreet is left at the altar. Feeling trapped in her current situation, with a confused heart and an overbearing mother, Liberty decides to take her life into her own hands and travel to Denver with her Aunt Flora.
At the same time that Liberty is running away Sheriff Wade Calder is running from his own demons after giving up his badge in exchange for revenge on his greatest enemy. What he doesn't know is that the path to revenge is actually going to liberate him in ways he couldn't possibly foresee.
There are parts that are pretty predictable but most of the time there are little twists throughout the book that keep you turning the pages. The characters are well developed and the book is wonderfully written. There are a few parts of the story that do seem to drag out a bit but if you push through I don't think you'll regret it. I do think the ending is a little predictable but by the time you make it there you wouldn't want the story to end any other way.
This is a sweet story with action, love, forgiveness, and a happy ending which was exactly what I had hoped for.
