review 1: When Drake Amberly sets sail for the colonies to track down the spy who murdered his brother, he never imagined falling in love with that spy. The Duke’s Redemption by Carla Capshaw, set during the final days of the American Revolution is about Drake Amberly, Duke of Hawk Haven. A man determined to track down the spy who killed his brother whatever the cost. Following a lead to Brixton Hall, Drake meets Elise, a woman who is more than she appears. Intrigued by her pretending to be air headed, Drake finds himself falling in love with the courageous Elise but will that love be destroyed by the deception purpertrated by Elise?Elise never set out to spy for her country, but when circumstances called for her to don the guise of “Fox”, she did to save her family and to su... morepport her country. When the Fox’s life was at risk, Elise defended herself but at the cost of another spy’s life. Little does she know when she meets Drake, the spy who died was his brother. Can Elise trust Drake with her love and with her life?I love reading about this pivotal time period in America’s history, where brave individuals put everything on the line to shape what would become this great nation. Carla captures the urgency and fear felt by those who spied for the United States. In addition to the loyalty to country obvious in the book, Carla’s portrayal of the various relationships between family members was great. From unconditional love regardless of race to the problem of glorifying those who have passed on before us, the Duke’s Redemption reminds us all of the problems and joys that come from family members.
review 2: This is an action-packed historical romance/adventure set during the American Revolution. Carla Capshaw has a way of grabbing your attention with the first page and keeping it until the very last one; there is never a dull moment. The main characters deal with discovering what true faith, trust, honesty, and loyalty are, and must often make life-altering decisions about where their loyalties lie. This book is a "must read", especially for anyone who likes historical fiction and/ or Christian fiction. The author has a talent for desribing things in such a masterful way that it transports you to that era. In the end you feel more knowledgeable about what it might have been like to live during that time period than you were previously. Many Christian romances seem somewhat like they have been created from the same basic formula, but not this one. You will enjoy this book! less
