5.0 out of 5 stars Love not a Rebel, July 30, 2002

This review is from: Love Not a Rebel (Paperback)

I like how Heather Graham presents the conflict between two sides, be they army and indian or English loyalist and patriot she allows you to sympathize with both sides. It's not about who is collectively right or wrong but the conviction, passion and integrity of the individual characters. I enjoy the historical accuracy and, of course, the romantic plot. Mandy is zealous about her beliefs as is eric toward the opposition which makes for a political, marital nightmare! I do like the characters here. Amanda is sassy and defensive. But we can forgive her since she has a wicked, abusive father who fills her with rejection and low self esteem. Her ideals may be flawed but at least she is passionate about them. I really sympathized with her dilemma (black mailed by her father for her cousins life) but was frustrated that she would not confide in her husband. Amanda does; however, mature greatly throughout the book. I loved Eric. He is dignified yet indignant, righteously, of course. It is sad that he can't trust his wife but you can't blame him, he struggles painfully between loyalty to his cause and loyalty to his wife. He manages to stay devoted to both. It is very climactic and has a couple of great twists in it.

I love this book!!! I really enjoy historical romances and this one is set during the Revolutionary War. You can really feel for the characters as they are in conflict over their beliefs.
This is my favorite book from Heather Graham and one of my all-time favorites. It is the last of the North American Woman trilogy so be sure to check out Sweet Savage Eden (number 1) and A Pirate's Pleasure (number 2). If you want to continue to follow the Cameron legacy, check out Graham's Civil War trilogy: One Wore Blue, And One Wore Gray, And One Rode West. Not to be confused with her Florida based Civil War series starring the MacKenzie family.

5.0 out of 5 stars North American Woman Series #3, July 12, 2001

By

This review is from: Love Not a Rebel (Paperback)

They called her "Highness". Ravishing Lady Amanda Sterling, forced to spy on Lord Eric Cameron by the lord governor of Virginia and her evil, ambitious father! She'd detested Eric Cameron on sight. He was a traitor to King and country. Yet she'd been sent to steal his heart, his soul, and his secret plans for the revolution. And now she was his wife, swept into marriage with a man who would sear her with the hellfire of his desire, and make her his prisoner of love. Lord Eric Cameron turned his back on his family's estates in England to embrace the patriot's cause. He did it quietly-before the fateful shots at Lexington and Concord rang out and his true allegiance became clear by cannon and by sword. But Eric also fought another war-with the glorious Amanda Sterling, the beauty he had married, knowing he could never trust her...but never let her go. Amanda, the woman he had vowed to conquer, the spy he would never surrender, even at the risk of his own life. Loved it. The whole North American Woman series was wonderful.
