Book Description

Since every able-bodied man in the Smoky Mountains is off fighting the War for Southern Independence, Silky Shanahan suspects that the stranger she sees skinny dipping in old man Johnson's pond is a Yankee. But even with her trusty rifle aimed at the enemy solider, Silky fears she's in danger of betraying her country--and her heart.

Wonderful historical detail

I zoomed through the first half of this book thanks to the great historical detail. I really felt that "you are there" feeling thanks to Ms. Birmingham's great powers of description. But then it took me forever to finish the 2nd half due to, as the first reviewer said...Nothing happened. I realized all that had happened really was the hero & heroine got closer, but there were no external events, and way too many descriptions of her outfits, and what they ate for dinner. I also appreciate the fact she didn't depict them bickering over Nothing, as so many romance couples seem to do. The H & H were both likable.
