The Colonel's Lady

Much in the same way that I had difficulty putting down [b:Courting Morrow Little 6973752 Courting Morrow Little Laura Frantz https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1256720224l/6973752.SY75.jpg 7213828] as I read it, I was enthralled with [b:The Colonel's Lady 9467341 The Colonel's Lady Laura Frantz https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1289014905l/9467341.SY75.jpg 14352398] from the first page to the end. I had thought that Courting Morrow Little had emotions and adventure in them. Well The Colonel's Lady has that and palpable romance. (I'm talking Julie Lessman good!) As I've said before, keeper shelf! Definitely one of those reads that is historically interesting, but also just as a novel captivating and entertaining. I'm so delighted to have read it and cannot wait for more. Thanks to Revell Books for providing a copy for review.

I always love a good historical fiction that includes loads of great research! I truly enjoy travelling to different eras through the books I read, and this one got me fully immersed in frontier Kentucke. Cass and Roxanna were both vivid characters, and I loved seeing this hero fight to become the man Roxie needed. I also love stories of older heroines, so it was nice to have Roxanna a mature young lady of twenty-eight. The ending especially had me on the edge of my seat!
