5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Addition to the Series, March 31, 2008

By	BookBargainsandPreviews.com "www.bookbargains... (New York) - See all my reviews

This is another great book in The Ladies of Liberty series by author Tracie Peterson. It kept my attention throughout and it resonates with the power of God. It helps us remember that His ways are not always our ways and we may not always understand why things happen in our lives, but can be assured that God has His reasons.

The heroine in this book (Catherine) had lost a lot, yet she perseveres and has a strong faith in God that sees her through.

It was very enjoyable reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully sweet romance, March 27, 2008

By	L. Ann (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

Catherine Newbury and her father are introduced to a charming young American, Carter Danby, at a ball they host at their home in England. Later that night, after all the guests have left and the house has gone to bed, Catherine over hears her father in conversation with his partner. Their shipping buisness has been discovered to have been shipping slaves and the (crooked) partner is in the process of fleeing the country. After he leaves, Catherine confronts her father and they decide for her to leave England as well.

Five years later, in Philadelphia, Carter Danby accompanies his mother and sister to the dressmakers. The fashion designer, Catherine Shay, strikes a familiar chord with him, but he can not place when and where he has seen her. Curious about her past, and wanting to know her better, Carter asks his friend to investigate her.

Catherine recognizes Carter immediately, but says nothing. Instead she turns her attetion to drawing out Carter's sister, Winnifred. Winnifred is a shy, retiring girl with few friends and an overbearing mother. Catherine listens to Winnifred's desires for her dress,and also becomes her friend.

This is an enjoyable read because of the interactions of the characters. I also enjoy that Catherine is such a compassionate, strong character. The relationship that develops between Catherine and Carter draws you in and keeps you turning the pages as you wonder what will happen next.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful knight...., March 7, 2008

By	R. Stoddard (McGuire AFB, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The other readers have given an adequate description so I'll just share my opinions.

This was a GREAT story but I found it much different from her other books. I found A Lady of High Regard different, also, but it still had the suspense that I have grown accustom to from Peterson. This was sans all of that. I mean, there was a little blackmail but really nothing to write home about.

However, I still found this book riveting. I was glued to the pages and couldn't put it down. Peterson writes her characters with such depth and feeling that you really feel like you know them and understand them. THe love portion of this book might have been a little rushed but not so much that it ruined the book or made it utterly unbelievable. Especially since Carter and Catherine had met early in the book and seemed to have made a connection there.

Carter was a true white knight and Catherine stronger than a typical damsel.

You will not regret reading this book... you will not regret re-reading this book!
