review 1: This book was just a little too depressing and heavy for me. I liked the characters, I was interested in how the story would turn out, but it was not a "fun" read at all.I'm a genealogist and many of my ancestors are from Ireland, so that added to the depression. I love reading about Irish history, but don't want my romance novels to be so "graphic" and bloody. If you don't mind this type of details surrounding your romance, then the book may be ok for you. It is well written, with interesting characters and is very fast paced, it's just not my preference.
review 2: I was surprised by this book. Eliza Blacknall and William Denton have known each other since childhood. They have loved each other practically their whole lives, but conflict seperates them and what
... more society expects of them. Will is the second son, so he goes off to join the British Army. He becomes a Major and his regiment is sent to Ireland years later to fight against the Irish rebellion. Eliza has married and been widowed during his absence and has become Countess Mont Claire. Eliza is helping with the Irish cause by writing phamplets to help further their cause. Lady Katherine has 3 daughters. Eliza, Anna and Caroline. Major Denton has been hurt. Can Eliza keep them all safe during this time of hatred, bitterness, war and unrest as they travel from their estate in northern Ireland to Dublin? Good start to a very good series. less
