Customer Reviews

Another great read by Linda Chaikin!

I've waited forever to read this book. It was well worth the wait! Romance, adventure... longing to bridge gaps in family relationships. I've read this book in a day! I couldn't put it down. I've really enjoyed the characters Trace Wilder and Savana Mackenzie. Savana is a British-Russian young woman who reluctantly becomes a spy "for the good of the British Empire." Trace has identities like:spy,soldier,ranch owner and ship's captain with the goal of seeing the Pacific Northwest have the Stars and Stripes flying over it. Savana is torn between her attraction and her loyalties and wants to meet her long-lost grandmother for the first time. Baron Peter Sarakof promises to reunite Savana and her grandmother, but at what cost? Trace finds himself fighting to protect a woman whose loyalites are questionable and knows that in his "business" that emotions could mean his downfall. It was a great book and I wasn't disappointed. I'm looking forward to see what Linda Chaikin has in store for us in the future!

Exciting and adventurous!

Granted, it wasn't one of Linda's most exceptional books, but it was great all the same. Savana Rezanov Mackenzie is a Russian-British young woman who is totally loyal to her English heritage. Her family is wealthy and well-to-do, but her Russian relatives have disowned her because of her British father, and she longs to be loved and accepted by her mother's family, since she has no other. Caught up in the British-American fight for power in the Northwest, Savana becomes a spy. Then, she meets Trace Wilder...a dangerous American spy who has many disguises...soldier, rancher, sailor. Trace becomes her protector, but she is confused as to her loyalties. Should she do as she planned, and stay Trace's enemy, for a cause she really doesn't believe in...or follow her heart and trust him? You will enjoy the banter and romance so typical of Linda's books as Savana and Trace suspiciously travel on a contraband-holding ship...and the thrilling chase and action scenes at the countess's palace. Though it wasn't fabulous, I liked it a lot and I'd recommend it for a nice cozy fireside read, or when you're in the mood for romance and adventure.
