Did I read the same book as the two previous reviewers? This HISTORICAL romance covers the last period of the war of Independence. It was full of the grit, exhaustion and triumph of both the revolutionary army and the protagonists themselves. War is hell but love endures. I found this to be a moving, engrossing story which I didn't want to end. No vapid Regency this. Good job Jane!

I agree with another reviewer in wondering whether I read the same book as all the people who gave this book only one star. The only reason that I did not give this book 5 stars is because I felt the ending to be a little weak and abrupt, but I found the story and the characters riviting. These are people who have real problems and conflicts to work through, not just the standard romance fare where one character or the other has sworn never to marry or fall in love. I was very impressed.

Sorry, but this book was awful. Neither Bryony nor Benedict are likeable characters, especially Benedict. And the book went on and on and on...

Bryony and Benedict never made it for me as a couple. There interaction was too conflicting with no good dialog to make it worth the time. I couldn't get what either were doing with the other. She was too docile and he was too antagonistic. Good time period though.

I agree with other reviewers. Neither of the two main characters was likeable at all. They spent the whole book arguing posintlessly about leaving each other. The book could have ended 200 pages sooner and it would have been alright with me. Terrible.

I bought this book second-hand, thank goodness. I have read a few chapters and will not continue. This is simply trash. The characters are not worth the time. As another reviewer said, this time period is interesting, but this book is not. It does not ring true and the people are boring.
