Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Graham (Rebel; Captive) sets her latest McKenzie family saga in Civil War-era Florida, a refreshing, unique backdrop for that bloody struggle. Most of the action takes place at sea, where swashbuckling rebel captain Jerome McKenzie, skipper of the Lady Varina (after Jefferson Davis's wife), is big, bold, and has Seminole blood running in his veins. Beautiful, bold Risa Magee, a Union general's daughter who nurses the wounded, is his nemesis. Mutual hatred turns into turbulent love?but not before multiple misunderstandings threaten to tear the fragile relationship apart. It's a classic formula historical romance, but Graham does it better than anyone. Assured narratives, deft characterizations and fast-moving plots are givens. But this is also a classic bodice-ripper with chemises, bodices, pantalets and other delicate flimsies strewn throughout. It's not to everyone's taste, but Graham does it well.

5.0 out of 5 stars To the reader from Berwyn, PA - letter dated May 1,1999, May 26, 1999

This review is from: Surrender (Florida Civil War) (Paperback)

In answer to your question, NO, there is not a novel in between 'Captive and Rebel'. But these are novels of the McKenzie saga in order: 1. Runaway (Jarrett and Tara); 2. Captive (James and Tela); 3. Rebel (Ian McKenzie - Jarrett and Tara's son); 4. Surrender (Jerome McKenzie - James and Teela's son); 5. Glory (Julie McKenzie - Ian's brother).

If you enjoy reading Civil War Sagas, here is another Civil War saga by Graham, but in order to fully understand the saga of the Cameron's, you must first begin with the Cameron colonist, Jasmine and James Cameron: 1. Sweet Savage Eden (Jasmine and James Cameron -early 1600s)EXCELLENT 2. A Pirate's Pleasure (Skye and Roc Cameron - early 1700s) 3. Love Not a Rebel (Amanda and Eric Cameron - 1776)

1. One Wore Blue (Jesse and Cameron) 2. One Wore Gray (Daniel Cameron) 3. One Rode West (Christa Cameron) ALL THREE ARE EXCELLENT

Happy reading

This review is from: Surrender (Florida Civil War) (Paperback)

Passionate and thrilling to the last page. Heather has again thrilled her readers with another saga of the McKenzies' of Florida. Jerome is a dashing, not to mention gorgeous, Confederate sea captain constantly thwarting the Yankees by superbly running their coastal blockage. Risa, a 'military brat', is strong-willed, courageous but yet compassionate. Risa becomes entangled in secret covert operations by trying to assist her friend and one time rival, Alaina McKenzie. Therefore, she is captured,by Captain Jerome McKenzie, and held hostage to prevent delivering the information she has knowledge of. Typical! Yes, unless the writer is Heather Graham. Knowone can keep you in suspense and constantly weave a passionate veil like Heather. This will become one of your favorites, along with 'Sweet Savage Eden', 'One Wore Gray', and 'One Rode West'. I understand that Heather is currently working on the final saga of the McKenzies, this time the heroine being Jerome's younger sister. Can Ms. Graham deliver a novel more passionate and thrilling than 'Surrender', well, we'll just have to patiently wait and read other Heather Graham/aka Shannon Drake novels!

This review is from: Surrender (Florida Civil War) (Paperback)

I've read this book--as well as the rest of the McKenzie saga--about four times now. Surrender is the next perfect continuation of the story. I love how Graham doesn't forget her previous characters and weaves them into each story she writes. I fell in love with Ian in Rebel, but fell more in love with Jerome. His fire and passion burn right through the pages.

I think the story could have been better had there been more interaction between Risa and Jerome. It seems they spend more time apart than they do together. And the times they do spend together, they are working against each other rather than making amends.

All in all, however, this is a wonderful story and quite a page turner.
