Heather Graham’s Civil War saga about the Cameron siblings continues with the Confederate brother, Daniel’s book. I enjoyed it, but not as much as the first. Daniel, a Confederate officer, ends up injured on the porch of a Yankee widow, Callie Michaelson, who is none too happy to have to nurse him back to health. Of course, as these stories usually go, they become attracted to each other despite their strong political differences and fall in love while he is there.

They are separated when Callie is forced to betray him when Yankee soldiers appear and threaten to kill him if she doesn’t turn him in. Daniel ends up in a Yankee prison and vows to return to her to get his revenge not knowing that she saved his life.

More happens from here that I won’t go into due to spoilers, and of course, they eventually meet up again. I did enjoy very much all the Civil War history and look forward to the next and last book. I gave this one three stars. Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I was intrigued with the book's description. It is set in historical Civil War and is a romance originally printed in 1992. I realized that I do not connect with Civil War historical romance and I did not get into the story when reading. I did not finish reading the book.

Thanks to Netgalley & Random House/Loveswept for providing a copy for an unbiased review.

Wow, it took me 5 years to get around to reading this after reading the first in the series - that wasn’t intentional, I enjoyed the first one, but somehow it just got buried in the big TBR pile. This trilogy was written in the early 90s, and it does read that way. I started reading HRs back in the 70s, burned out on them and and didn’t read them for a good many years. I started back with recent ones the past few years, and saw a lot of changes in the genre. This series falls in my personal in-between years, and it seems almost like a transition period for the genre. There’s a lot of coincidence, there’s a fair bit of flowery language. But underneath that there’s a good story. Most HRs are ultimately predictable - you know where things are headed, it’s just a question of what will happen on the journey. This is no exception, but it’s enjoyable. And being a trilogy, it’s nice to see where the characters from the first book are “now”, and to see the set up for the third book. It definitely won’t take me 5 more years to read that one.
