About the book:
When colonial Williamsburg explodes like a powder keg on the eve of the American Revolution, Lady Elisabeth "Liberty" Lawson is abandoned by her fiance and suspected of being a spy for the hated British. No one comes to her aid save the Patriot Noble Rynallt, a man with formidable enemies of his own. Liberty is left with a terrible choice. Will the Virginia belle turned lacemaker side with the radical revolutionaries, or stay true to her English roots? And at what cost?

Historical romance favorite Laura Frantz is back with a suspenseful story of love, betrayal, and new beginnings. With her meticulous eye for detail and her knack for creating living, breathing characters, Frantz continues to enchant historical fiction readers who long to feel they are a part of the story.


My Thoughts:
Laura Frantz has done it again! She's transported me to a world that is rich in historical detail and made me forget about everything else going on. 

Seriously, I've always loved reading about the Revolutionary Period. I loved Noble. I loved how he was falling for Liberty long before he admitted it. When she lost everything, he wanted to protect her. But she's a determined young lady. I loved her grit and her determination. And the other characters as well. I know that this is not part of a series, but I'm not ready to say goodbye to these characters yet. I'd love to see more from them. 

I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher to share my honest opinion. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

About the book:
Police officer Isabelle St. John loves her crazy, loud, law-enforcement family. With three brothers and two sisters, she's never without someone to hang out with--or fight with. And she knows they'll be there for her when things get tough. Like when her partner is murdered and she barely escapes with her own life.

Determined to discover exactly what happened, Izzy's investigation sends her headfirst into a criminal organization, possibly with cops on the payroll--including someone from her own family. With her dead partner's handsome homicide detective brother Ryan shadowing her every move, Izzy's head is spinning. How can she secure justice for her partner when doing so could mean sending someone she loves to prison? And how will she guard her heart when the man she's had a secret crush on for years won't leave her side? 

My Thoughts:
This book was one that I couldn't put down! I was drawn into it immediately. It was certainly a page turner!

I loved both Izzy and Ryan. I loved how they worked well together. I also loved the family dynamic of Izzy's family. 

I'm one of those people who catch the occasional episode of Blue Bloods. This book (and series) reminds me of that show.

Recommended to fans of Blue Bloods, romantic suspense, Lynette Eason, Irene Hannon, Dani Pettrey.
