Editorial Reviews

Review

"5 Hearts. A wonderful book which left me spellbound. I highly recommend it to anyone."  —The Romance Studio

"The well-researched novel exhibits such descriptive language that one feels in the center of the action."  —Romantic Times BOOKreviews

"Filled with plenty of laugh-out-loud scenes . . . and quite a few very steamy intimate encounters . . . a fast-paced, well-written story."  —Romance Reviews Today

"Lindler's Kiss of a Traitor has intelligent characters who keep the story rolling along. A great novel." —Night Owl Romance

Product Description

Wilhelmina Bellingham is an ardent Tory and has two goals in her young life—catching the rebel traitor General Francis Marion and avoiding marriage to the fool to whom she was promised when she was only a babe, a man she has never met. Her first goal is within reach, for Willa knows South Carolina’s swamps as well as any rebel, shedding her betrothed, however, is another matter. When his half-brother is killed, Captain Brendan Ford, a spy with Marion's patriots, assumes his identity as Lord Montford—and fiancé to Wilhelmina Bellingham. As his deception begins to fall apart, he convinces Willa he is a double spy, and makes a fatal decision—to romance her, capture her loyalty, and prevent her from exposing him to her father. But while he is ensuring Willa’s allegiance and love, she manages to steal his heart as well.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars Debut Novel A Must Read, March 7, 2009 By  Chalene M. Fleming (Elmira, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    Kiss of a Traitor, Cat Lindler's debut novel, reflects characteristics of a perfected craft. In addition to the determination and moxie that accompany her "ardent Tory" persona, Wilhelmina Bellingham is cunning enough to outwit two armies of men, whimsical enough to foil an arranged marriage to her foppish betrothed, yet feminine enough to attract the attention and desire of an adversary--one virile Patriot, Captain Brendan Ford. Kiss of a Traitor's fiction and fact blend flawlessly. Weaving in just the right amount of historical truth, Cat Lindler stayed true to the story and made me forget I once disliked history. Her characters are skillfully honed and filled with life-sized personality. Kiss of a Traitor is definitely worth ordering and Lindler is surely an author to watch as she'll, no doubt, quickly make a name for herself.

Whereas he could not wait to end the masquerade and escape her, he finds he is in love, but fears she reciprocates his feelings except hers is for a dead man. This is a terrific Revolutionary War romance that emphasizes a large segment of the colonists opposed the revolt supporting England instead. Thus, the divisiveness of the war serves as a wonderful backdrop to a fully developed lead couple who brings real meaning to the phase beloved enemy as their objectives clash. Although there is a cul de sac sidebar that feels like excess padding that never fits inside the story line, KISS OF A TRAITOR is a fabulous look at American Revolution through the loving eyes of two adversaries.
