The McCades are a family I really want to know. Felicity Beaumont is a strong, enlightened and intelligent woman. She is not afraid to take action when she sees an injustice. Her plan to free her father's slaves results in her meeting Jake McCade, the Captain of the River Maiden. His riverboat will transport "the cargo" to freedom. Initially he does not see through her disguise as Frank, but Jake is a man of honor and once he finds out he treats her with respect. He is jailed and charge with Felicity's kidnapping. The couple are forced to marry by Felicity's vengeful father. I found their love sweet, touching and very romantic. The picture of life on the Mississippi after the Civil War is a beautiful and interesting background. These authors have a wonderful way with words. Their characters even the minor ones charm and enchant. I can't wait for the next book in the series! I hope I don't have to wait too long.
