Rebel and Glory are must read books

I first read Glory and then read Rebel. I loved both of them. I can't wait to start from the first and read to Heather Grahams latest of the MacKenzie family "Triumph". Each are so accurate in history detail during the civil war. The detail of events make you feel as if you are standing right there while it happens. And the romance just make you want to swoon. Lordy me!You have to read these books!

the man with to much arogance and the witch doctor

Glory is yet another of the books I could read two or three times. Heather Graham puts out a terrific performance about the love of the rebel doctor Julian McKenzie and a woman branded a witch becuase of her healing powers and her ability to see. It also starts out the good parts of Sydney & Jesse, and Brent & mary. I like the fact that she uses the battle of Gettysburg as the peak of the book. I live a few minutes from Gettysburg and it was neat to compare the book with the information I could find there. I suggest everyone read the McKenzie saga and the Cameron saga, both are about the Civil War and the Seminole War.

Oh, yeah, THIS IS A GOOD BOOK!

This is the fifth book in a soon-to-be six book series. The entire series is too-good-to-put-down-right-now good. As with the other books Ms. Graham has written, "Glory" is infused with humor and drama. I couldn't help but admire Rhiannon and Julian for their loyalties to their beliefs. Ms. Graham insists in reminding her readers that the Civil War was fought from two sides. She takes great care, particularly in this series, to show the "other" or Rebel side of the war. She also does something I never seen other authors do: she reminds readers that even though Florida did not have battles like Gettysburg, it was deeply embroiled in the war and as torn by it as states such as Virginia. I look forward to reading her next book "Triumph" set to be released in January, which I'm sure will be about the fourth cousin, Brent. You really must read all five books, and in order if possible: Runaway (Jarrett and Tara), Captive (James, Jarrett's brother, and Teela), Rebel (Ian, Jarrett's eldest, and Alaina), Surrender (Jerome, James' eldest son, and Risa) and Glory (Julian, Ian's brother, and Rhiannon).

Great but it needs a sequel

I have read all of the McKenzie stories and have really loved them. Glory was excellent but it ended too soon. WHat happens to all the McKenzies?? I know there was supposed to be only 5 books to the series, but who lives, who dies- how does the story end at the end of the war? what about Brent and Tia?? What about the girl Sam who was in love with Julien and promised to end up in Florida? THere are many stories left to be told in this saga and I only hope that Ms. Graham intends on continuing the saga.

Sad to see this terrific series end.

I've read each book in the MacKenzie series and loved them all. The story of Rhiannon & Julian is unique and beautiful. Rhiannon is wonderfully human and her struggles to overcome the grief over the loss of her husband & her subsequent dependence on opium are sure to touch the heart. I can only imagine the research that must have gone into this novel, as well as the rest of the books in the series, and think Heather Graham has done an amazing job of bringing the Civil War and the feelings of both sides to life. I would love to see another installment about Brent, as suggested by another reviewer.
