I will start by saying I freaking loved this book. I didn't have high expectations going into it to be honest mainly because I wondered how the autho could pull it off-a historical romance set in England, about English, against the backdrop (and intrigue/spying) of the American Revolution. I didn't think I'd be able to like the characters, since well, being from the US I kinda have a side, ya know? But this book was nothing like that. This book instead showed two characters, conflicted by their duties to their families and countries, because of the love they felt for each other.The multiple plots that were woven through the story were done well and no threads were left untied. Everything got resolved, or well, as resolved as good as it could! I loved the characters of Ryan and Emily and how hard they fell for each other. But most important, for me, was Emily's sacrifice for Ryan. What she was willing to do for him, well that just blew me away. She was written well and as a very strong, independent, loving woman who would do anything, even sacrifice herself, for those she cared for. It was nice to see that balance of strength, courage, love and vulnerability all together in one character.The end was both awesome and bittersweet. I knew that things couldn't stay the way they were-given who Lucy was going to marry and what Ryan was involved in. And so I knew Emily would have to make a choice. And it was hard but I think she made the right one.*I received an ARC Of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.*
