Not being a regular reader of historical romance, I was a bit out of my element on this one. I did appreciate and enjoy the excellent look into the history and conditions at this historic plantation and the role it played in the Civil War. I also found the exploration of the roles and risks of people of mixed color during that time and am sad that the negative attitudes persist to this day.Carrie Pagels did a great job with the writing. It was crisp and clear and engaging from the start of the book. I, personally, would have appreciated more drama and suspense though. But that might be due to the fact that I like more action, drama and suspense in my fiction. That is a personal bias of mine and not a criticism of this book. As I stated in the beginning, I am not a regular reader of this genre
