This was my second Kristy James book.  Again, her plot lines were compact, easy to follow and grabbed my attention from the start.  Characters were well developed and had personality.  I was especially pleased at how the slaves were integrated into the story line to create an atmosphere for these households and the culture of the time that was balanced i.e. both negative and positive aspects of slavery were inserted.In the context of Christian based, she showed families that were aware and faithful but not fanatic.  Again very representative of life in any age and specifically of this era.  If Devon was presented as a weak and clinging female, I can only submit that again, her character was in the expectation of the historical setting.  And, after all, this is romance - in order to achieve that sigh when all things come out in the end, a little drama must be added.An improvement over "A Fine Mess", the first book of Ms James that I bought, is that the editorial action on this one was better.  Fewer jarring disconnects.I am currently seeking out more of her books to enjoy.
