I'm really glad I took the chance and read this book.  I loved the story and the characters and that the male lead, Garr, though tough, was also reasonable and of strong faith.  He wasn't perfect, he had spent some time with a lady of two of ill repute, but he seemed to be more a man of his times as far as his morality (it's ok if it's not a Lady.)  I also liked that the author showed that Annyn, the female lead, could have modern sensibilities, but there were consequences to following them (the disapproval of her people, etc) and she knew when to fight and when to back down.  She wasn't perfect, but she was trying to get closer to God.  There was great chemistry between Annyn and Garr, both when she pretended to be a boy and when she didn't.Another good thing about this story, the lady didn't always have to be rescued, she did some fighting of her own!  There was humor and tenderness in this story, in the relationship between Garr and Annyn and in the families they belonged to.  I will gladly read more by Tamara Leigh and have already bought the next book in the series.Note: I didn't see what I would term prosthelytizing, but this book is very Christian in it's belief structure and the characters do talk about God a lot.  In fact, God steps in a few times, though it's not said that He did, but you know that's Who it was.  If this makes you uncomfortable, this is not the book for you.
