I loved the setting and set up of this novel. The story starts with Tamsyn's dying husband making her promise to deliver a message to General Lee just before the south is to surrender to the north. I liked how the end of the war was used in this book, and gave us the second half of the book which was more about James and Tamsyn's relationship and their families.The chemistry between these two is great, and  won't let you put the book down, making for a quick, fun read. I was drawn in by Tamsyn and really liked how her character was written for this time period. She is smart, resourceful, loves her daughter, and is overall a likable and interesting woman. I especially enjoyed all the siblings of both characters! I actually wished for a few more pages for this story. I wasn't quite ready for the story to end and would loved to have a little more from James to make up for lying to Tamsyn...so it had to be a great story when I don't want it to be over. Highly recommended.
