If you have read any of my other reviews you know that I am a tough critic. I am especially tough on whiny, spoiled heroines. You won't find any of those creatures anywhere in this story. Kathy Lee is smart, decent, vulnerable, kind, funny, loving, high spirited and yet unsure of herself. In particular, I appreciated the fact that, while alluded to, very little time was spent on the physical beauty of Kathy Lee and Robert. Due to this wise choice by the author, the beauty of their spirits was allowed to carry us away.I can't say enough about this book. The repartee between the main characters was stellar (is anything more exhilarating than the growing, unfolding love of a pair of incurable smart alecks?), the plot was well constructed, the pacing perfect and the setting irresistible. I wish I could read ten more stories just like it. I come from a family of historians, the Revolutionary period being our particular niche and the research was quite thorough. Rare is the occasion that I am motivated to give five stars and this is one of those times. Be warned, if you are looking for steamy sex scenes you will not find them in this book but the love story is so expertly handled you will be smitten with Robert Upton before all is said and done. Otherwise, I hold out no hope for you whatsoever.
