I fell in love with the cover of this book. Then I read the blurb and knew I had to read the story. I wasn't disappointed.Here is a story that captivates from the first page and doesn't let up until the last. Not a word is wasted in this Civil War era novel that is filled with humor, wit and colorful secondary characters.Emma Davenport, a senator's daughter, and Cole Travis, a Union Army secret agent, seem to be complete opposites. He appears to be a ruthless kidnapper. A handsome one, but nonetheless, a desperado in Emma's eyes. Both want their time together to end, and quickly -- Emma so she can run off to wed the man she thinks she wants to spend the rest of her life with, Cole so he can return Emma to her father, complete his assignment, and get on with his life.Miss Kingston's obvious research in the time period add to the story. Enjoy a good read with intrigue, passion, and scenes that are laugh out loud funny.
