I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.The cover to me is very beautifully designed and it shows off a boat in the background which is a major part of what Emily is willing to do to overcome obstacles within the book (which could be considered a treason type affair during this time period) . Covers have to have some appeal and as I said this one has a great mystery with the color contrasts to it.As the blurb said there was an American Revolutionary War raging and everyone was affected by it, people were on different sides and sometimes were forced to keep secrets that would not only affect their reputation but also could cost them their lives and those they loved. Emily Nevins was one of these people, she was not directly involved in the war but due to unfortunate circumstances she had to keep a deep dark secret and continue to help with a certain affair of life to keep her sister safe. Very early on into the story you meet Ryan Sutton who is involved in the war also but may or may not be working for the same side as he portrays in public (can't tell you this or I would ruin you).  All through the story Emily and Ryan seems to be brought together by faith and of course with her quirky supposedly forgetfulness of names keeps calling him by a different last name (similar to his but changes it up a tad bit). I found this funny! The book was well thought out for and had a good flow with a couple of twists, which caught me by suprise.All great books that are written in these times must have a villain and the author has put one here too.  I do wish there may have been a little more part with the villains and the main characters, but the author did a good job with all the characters she had in Sweet Treason. All through the book you find glimpses of betrayals and how it may have been to be in a war during these times because seriously you didn't know who may have fought for which sides since spies were a major part. I think the author did a good job in bringing some of the facts from how it may have been during those time frames. I would read more from this author and do hope that she continues to write more.
