A brand new series for fans of all things related to history, romance, adventure, faith, and family trees.
War Forces a Choice Between Love and Country
A trip home from England to Maryland in 1812 finds Emeline Baratt a captive on a British warship and forced to declare her allegiance between the British and Americans. Remaining somewhat politically neutral on a ship where her nursing skills are desperately needed is fairly easy—until she starts to have feelings for the first lieutenant who becomes her protector. However, when the captain sends her and Lieutenant Owen Masters on land to spy, she must choose between her love for him or her love for her country.
My Review 💛
Liberty. It is something, I believe, we all take for granted, yet it is something that was bought with a steep price. In
The Liberty Bride, we get to witness a glimpse of how
The War of 1812 was for some. Intrigue and suspense shroud this novel, as two American's end up becoming undercover agents of sorts, doing everything they can to survive, even if that means lying about where their loyalties lie.
I was instantly charmed by Owen and couldn't help but love Emeline's sweet spirit, my heart going out to both, unable to comprehend what they endured. The action was perfect, not too gruesome, but still painted a vivid picture. Me being prone to horrible bouts of motion sickness, I cannot even begin to fathom being on a ship for that long, during a battle no less!
Engaging, with intrigue, suspense, and wonderful writing, this was an enjoyable and wonderful escape!
