Too Bad It's Out Of Print

It's too bad this story is out of print because it is definitely one of the best stories that Karyn Monk has written. Jo and Damien are realistic characters that are easy to relate to and the story just sucks you right in from the beginning and doesn't let you go until the end. Monk takes you back in time to the American Revolution, and does such a good job of it that you feel like you are right there with the characters. She vividly portrays two people on opposite sides of the war who fall in love and end up in the position where they will sacrifice their lives and cause to save one another. Just be warned: this is written during the time of The American Revolution and many battle scenes are described in the gruesome reality in which they took place. There are scenes describing the aftermath of battles where many young men lose their lives and these scenes are not glossed over, but very tragic.This is a story for everyone, even people who do not like romance novels. So if you are able to get a copy do it. You won't be let down.

Incredibly Heart Felt

I was so impressed by this book. Many people critisize readers of romance and the ganre in general. I was among these people untill I read this book. The heroin is very real and that was something many women want to relate to in a book. I also found myself getting excited and nervous as the plot began to unfold. Several times I had to put it down to stop crying because I had became so involved with the story. This was the first book I had ever read and actually felt the emotions of the characters in it so clearly. It is definately worth reading and without a doubt, the best book I have ever read!

The Best Book Ever!

This book earns more than 5 stars. Karyn Monk's portrayal of the American Revolution was splendid. I just love how she has represented both sides of the war through the characters Josephine and Damien. These two characters have found a special place in my heart because they were able to get over their differences and find a peaceful and loving life together. I am so happy to have had the honor of reading such a special and powerful book.

A beautiful story with three-dimensional characters

This is by far and away my favorite book. I absolutely could not put it down. I fell in love with the characters, Jo and Damien and at times lost myself in the scence Miss Monk painted. This book is a must for anyone who fancies romance novels. I recommend it highly, eager for others to experience this wonderful, gripping tale of love and war.
