Customer Reviews

One of my most favourite books.

Four years after the end of the civil-war, Andrew Stone is treated like a traitor in the city of Huxley, Texas, because he fought for the Yankees. To make things worse his ex-wife Damaris spreads lies about him all over town. Andrew has a young daughter from his first marriage. To secure her a place in the society of Huxley he decides to marry again. He chooses Margaret. She is not beautiful but very respected. Although Margaret is a bit afraid of the Yankee she agrees to marry him to get away from her awful aunt and to give her sister and brother a better life. I like this book so much because there is not this constantly fighting between the hero and the heroine. There are no big misunderstandings. The story focuses on the growing love between the H/H and how the hero learnes to trust a women again. All in all a very sweet love story.

The Yankee

This is a great read and involves you in the story right from the beginning. I have reread this book many times and still love it!

The Yankee takes the cake!

The Yankee is a mix of old fashion life crossed with mystery and vindictive ex-wives in a time where divorce was uncommon. the Yankee is a wonderful example of an outcast overcoming his reputation to become the hero we want him to be. Andrew Stone knows what he wants and goes after it. It is a wonderful book. I loved it because the character Andrew Stone is forced to learn that not all women are like his nasty ex-wife. This is the only way he can find happiness with Margaret. How much better can it get?
