"I enjoyed every minute of this sweet, adventurous romance! Well-written, well-researched with great characters, an evil villain, and a romance guaranteed to stir your soul, you don't want to miss this one. The second half is full of twists and turns that will keep you turning pages until the end. Well done, Mrs. Boeshaar!"

My Review
Four Stars
Mac is trying to shake off the moniker of 'traitor' and is hoping for a fresh start in the small town of Middletown, Virginia. After buying some land to start a farm, he meets his intriguing new neighbor who promptly informs him that he's trespassing on her land! Finding out that her land has been sold right out from under her, Lily is understandably distressed and wonders how her family will survive without the the income from the crops. Will she have to resort to a accepting a marriage proposal from a horrid man, or might there be another solution to her dilemma?
I felt transported back in time to 1816 Virginia with descriptions that were full of detail. Middletown was a lovely place and the vast majority of townspeople were so nice and helpful. There was a good balance of humorous and serious moments mixed with just a dash of danger. Mac and Lily's first meeting was quite... memorable! What a way to make a first impression! Mr. Blake, Mac's first mate, added quite the entertaining element to the story and I absolutely adored Aunt Hilda. She was probably my favorite character. Now, on the other hand, Mr. Everett had to be one of the most distasteful and infuriating villains I've read about in awhile. Grr, it was super easy to dislike him.
There was a lot jam-packed into the last part of the book which made the ending feel a bit rushed, but I really enjoyed the majority of this story. I'd recommend this story for people who enjoy sweet historical romances.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and comments are my own honest opinion.
