As well as Ms. Feather writes her Regency novels, this one of an earlier era (Cromwell, etc.) disappointed. The idea that a single young woman could be allowed to act as she does in this story is ludicrous. Women just weren't allowed much freedom in those days and this book falls down because of it. We need to keep a clear focus on how societal actions have changed from the medieval to the modern periods, so we can see how far (or not) we've travelled! Novels like this just muddy the picture.

A good book.
Back Cover

The difference Between treason and honor was one woman's kiss.

On the opposite sides during the English Civil War, Alexander Marshall was honor-bound to seize Virginia Courtney's lands and take her prisoner. By transporting Royalist fugitives to safety, the defiant young woman had forsaken her right to freedom-- and the colonel would keep her captive as long as he had to. Subduing her rebellious instincts with his kisses was a natural temptation--until desire became more compelling than duty.

Interesting story. This is the first one I've read that takes place in that time frame...of the English civil war of the 1640s.
