This review is from: Captured Dreams (Paperback)

This was my first novel by this husband & wife team. The story was full of romance, intrigue, and wonderful history. The Boston setting was both quaint and unsettling, as was accurate for the era. Although ultimately a love story, this book also served as a reminder of the sacrifices made by unsung American heros of the Pre-Revolutionary War and beyond. Portia Edwards was a delight; lovely and selfless. Pierce Pennington was a magnificant hero, handsome and intelligent and loyal to those he loved. The secondary characters were interesting and very realistic. Captain Turner was clearly unwell mentally but I didn't feel sorry for him; he was indeed evil. I do look forward to reading the rest of the McGoldrick books.
