Good Read

Devon has many enjoyable twists and turns set against the American Revolutionary War. Her relationship with Hunter is passionate but they fail to discuss their feelings about each other until the end of the book. I would have liked an epilogue to it so that I knew what happened to them after they finally declared their love for one another. While we get a clear depiction of Devon's psychological turmoil, Byers paints little of Hunter's weaknesses other than being bossy. Even when he's ill after being rescued from the prison ship, Byers does not effectively show Devon's rich love for him as many authors do in romances to communicate the depth of the character's love. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this as I did Callista.
