POFOD

I have now read every novel by Suzanne Adair, and I love all of them. Historical fiction is not my normal genre to read, but her novels hold my interest. There is always a good mystery within the historical context. I was fascinated by the portrayal of camp women, women who followed husbands and sons as they went to battle. The details are believable, the battles are brought to life, and the characters are compelling. I will continue to read this author.

It’s not often that you find a story told from the loyalist’s viewpoint. It’s easy to tell that the author has done her research. The detail regarding clothing, food, the condition of the roads and the bitter cold was fascinating. Though to enjoy this book, the reader must suspend a great deal of disbelief, I found it to be a page turner.

JoJoshura

When impoverished widow Helen Chiswell trys to make a living writing articles for a Wilmington newspaper. Her publisher offers hern the opportunity to travel with Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton and the British Legion in 1780, and give readers a chance to know the famous Lt. Tarleton better. Seeing it as a chance to improve her finances and write about something more exciting than social events, she accepts. This assignment leads Helen into a treacherous journey and dangerous situations...something that her devious publisher. Once again, the bloodthirsty British Lt. Dunstan Fairfax is woven deeply into this story of war and intrigue. As in the two previous books in this series, the plot carries the reader along with a well-written story woven together with true historical facts. I would love to see this whole series made into a mini-series. I hope for more books in this series.

Freaky Hook

I would have given this two stars because the author appears to have done her research well enough to avoid most anachronisms. The one that she missed was that for a widow to be openly shacking up with someone would have utterly ruined her reputation. Yes, it only happened when only a few people would know about it at the time, but such things never remain secret- especially when you have a known enemy in the area looking for a chance to discredit you.

There were drawbacks that overrode the good research, however. If it was a movie it'd be rated either R or X, depending on how offensive the description of the child molestation was considered. I found it quite offensive, and it leaves a *very* unpleasant picture in the mind, which you are reminded of more than once afterwards. If you want a clean book, definitely give this a miss.

Another thing I disliked about this book is that the heroine gets strongly sexually attracted to multiple men, to the point of not thinking clearly. One of the men is her enemy, who is cold-blooded, calculating, and totally self-centered, but she still has trouble using her brain when he turns on the sex appeal.

I wanted, and expected, to like this book, but I'm actually sorry I wasted time finishing it.

For one thing I love American History. It was about a woman reporter that started following a Unit of soldiers. It tells how she would talk to the soldiers and other Camp Followers.

Great novel. Would like to see her works in the movies or turned into a mini series. The AMC series TURN reminds me of her books. Well done.

Suzanne Adair has done something almost unknown in the annals of women's historical fiction--she has made it real. This is so not a bodice ripper. It is physical sensation on many levels bound up in a mesmerizing tale of one woman's experience as a journalist with the British Army. Baggage? She has more baggage than Paris Hilton on a world tour, and every bit of it is crucial to the story.

Dunstan Fairfax is possibly the most hypnotic and attractive villain since the Marquis de Sade. If you are female, you really want to bed him before you kill him. And, yes, you really want to kill him.

Suzanne Adair brings to life every smell in an 18th century British camp--along with every other sensation. You are there freezing at 5:00 when the camp wakes. You know how the cavalry trained with your heart in your throat as it happens. You understand the exact walls a woman ran up against and how she could climb them.

More to the point, this is not the tale of a pampered debutante. Helen could be you or I. She is facing foreclosure and takes the job with the newspaper to avoid financial ruin. The twists of her financial problems make for the mystery of the novel.

Sent by her editor to report on the campaign of British military darling, Lt., Banastre Tarleton, she is a sometimes reluctant participant in almost every documented skirmish and battle in the Southern Campaign in 1780. This is the period in which the British actually lost the Revolutionary War, although they didn't admit then.

She is involved with two men--both fascinating--and her struggle to reconcile her feelings creates the depth of the novel. A heroine who is empathetic, sympathetic and independent while appearing socially conventional is something new in historical fiction, but absolutely accurate for the period.

Should you doubt the accuracy of anything in the book, Suzanne Adair has published her bibliography, which is comprehensive in a manner almost unheard of in fiction. This is fiction with a twist. Based on the where and when of the story everything could have documentarily happened.

It really makes one want to run out and immediately book a room in Historic Williamsburg or a Charleston Bed and Breakfast. The reader can actually see herself in these pages, and that is my definition of an extraordinary read.

I love the fact that the author, Suzanne Adair, is a re-enactor! She has certainly done her historical research, and because of that, her stories come alive with the sights and sounds of the Revolutionary War. In this, her 3rd book, she presents another strong woman facing enormous challenges in a less than ideal situation, who takes us through the realizations and growth necessary in her journey of intrigue and discovery. Her characters are gripping, and the plot line a joy to uncover! Keep 'em coming, Ms Adair!
