A Calculated Betrothal

By Denise Weimer

A Patriot scout, a Loyalist widow, and a desperate fight to save what matters most.

The death of her titled husband means that not only is Tabitha Gage no longer a lady-but she's also abandoned on an isolated Southern Georgia plantation on the eve of revolution. With the fine house and fields sold to a neighbor, she's left with a log cabin on unsettled timber land. Rather than marry the neighbor's son, Tabitha determines to make her own way-and never again be shackled to a man she doesn't love.

Sergeant Edmond Lassiter is one assignment away from promotion when he comes to the aid of a red-haired beauty fending off cattle rustlers. Thrown together during an attack at a nearby fort, the Patriot scout and Loyalist widow are surprised by the values they share-including honesty, loyalty, and equality. When Edmond learns the same man who ruined his family is after what little Tabitha has left, he convinces her they should work together to make her land profitable-all while fighting off the British from East Florida and her greedy neighbor, who sabotages their every effort to succeed. Their work together will be a business arrangement...nothing more. But as a British invasion threatens, the truth soon becomes clear-continuing the connection between them will risk far more than their hearts.

Satisfying Conclusion

This is book five and the final installment in the Scouts of the Georgia Frontier series. I love the historical details that brings 1777 to life and makes it interesting instead of drudgery. I admired Tabitha and how she dug deep to find the strength to preserve in the face of losing everything. I enjoyed watching her grow in different areas including her faith. Edmond was an admirable patriot scout who worked to help when it wasn’t always easy. Difficult situations can bring bonds that are forged despite race, loyalties, or differences. The author’s notes at the end are always enlightening so be sure to read. I highly recommend this book and series especially if you enjoy history plus a little romantic tension doesn’t hurt. An enjoyable reading experience. I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit/ Wild Heart Books. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
