Editorial Reviews

He's a doctor but he's also the enemy. While he fights for the south, the heroine believes in the north. The one night they spend in each others company brings to light that the heroine has become addicted to opium in an attempt to deal with the pain. The heroine dreams of sleeping with her husband as a result of her high but actually The heroine is left grieving the death of her husband during the civil war in a run down house when the hero breaks in thinking that the place had been abandoned. The heroine dreams of sleeping with her husband as a result of her high but actually she ends up sleeping with the hero and as a result she ends up pregnant but refuses to admit that they did the deed.

The hero kidnaps the heroine after Union soldiers come to the house and in attempt to keep her safe brings her to the confederate camp. Most of the story sees the two main characters at war with each other. The heroine refuses to believe she cares for the hero and still wears the mourning clothing for her dead husband and the hero refuses to love a woman who is still grieving for someone else and refuses to acknowledge their night together. For a good chuck of the book, they are separate. The heroine goes north to Washington to heal the yank soldiers while the hero is sent to Washington to heal the Rebs.

It's only when the heroine sees a vision of the heroes death that she tricks him into marriage and gets him captured so she can keep him alive. The hero sees this as a betrayal and resents her for it but it does save him from death. The feel of the entire book was a proper civil war retelling and was epic in this plot. It was much more than a romance novel and though I couldn't give it 5 stars because the romance was a secondary plot, I did really like this book. The heroine was stubborn and in denial and the hero was charming, dedicated to saving lives on both sides of the war and frustrated with the heroine because she won't truly see him.

The scenes where the hero holds the heroine through her withdraw and when they lay together and feel the movement of their child made for such a sweet read. It wasn't a dramatic, over the top passionate book but rather it was subtle. You could never really tell what they characters were thinking because they spent a lot of time lying to themselves. The ending was a little rushed and felt wishy washy but overall it was a nice story. Feb 24, Regan Walker rated it really liked it.

Graham takes care to give us the history of the times it's her home state after all! As this story opens, presumably in , the Civil War continues and Julian McKenzie, the younger brother of Ian McKenzie Ian's story is told in REBEL is still part of the Florida militia bringing essential and gifted medical treatment to the wounded Confederate and sometimes Union soldiers, even though his father and older brother are confirmed Unionists. Promoted to Colonel and leading a group of men, he comes upon Rhiannon Tremaine, Union supporter and widow of Richard, a Union soldier whom she loved and still mourns.

Rhiannon is also rumored to be a "white witch" as she "sees things" and is gifted with herbs and potions. In book 4 Surrender we had Risa kissing Jerome thinking it was Ian. Once they touch, it seems their hearts are forever changed. When Julian leaves her house, he takes her captive in order ostensibly to save her from falling into drug addiction and to make use of her healing talents.

But he doesn't keep her long. Like the others in the series, we have a Reb and a Yank and one is a McKenzie and a shotgun wedding. I liked finding out more about Sydney and Brent Jerome's siblings. If you've read all the books thus far see below , then like me you are probably at the point of skipping some passages that recount the debate behind the Civil War. I suppose Graham had to do that to make them "stand alone," novels but one could have hoped for a series would written as a whole without the need for repetition.

She does the restatements pretty well so it's not unbearable. The romances will hold your attention and you will find yourself fascinated not only with the time in American history but with Florida, a land unlike any other in America. The series do read them in order: Jun 19, Arlena rated it it was amazing Shelves: Heather Graham Published By: This novel is a good historical romance with military This was indeed a intriguing story set I the south.

As this story opens Which is a very good ending to four other great series Runaway, Captive, Rebel, Surrender Nov 12, Debra rated it really liked it. This review is from: As the Civil war rages on, a healer, she becomes dependent on the poppies that she grows for medicinal purposes.

Only after she seduces him during the night, does Julian realize that she is addicted and under the opium spell during her seduction. This is a tragic story of brother a This review is from: This is a tragic story of brother against brother, fathers against son, and the destruction of families torn apart for personal beliefs and loyalties. Ms Graham brought the human devastation, and yet the family devotion, right upon my own doorstep. This was a great story, but unless you read the series, you might find yourself wondering who all those McKenzies were. Somewhere in my past, I have read some of the books, but don't remember the actual characters.

Still, I was left wondering.

You can definitely read this as a stand-alone book, but if you like series books, I would advise reading the others first. It would be much a much better reading experience. It didn't appeal to me. I have read her series on the Civil War and Florida, and truly enjoyed it. This one fell flat. Too may characters, too much escaping, too much chaos.

I found myself hurrying through descriptions of the war. Gettysburg was not the bloodiest battle of the war; Antietam was the bloodiest, ever. I have been spoiled by authors who research and fact check. I respect the ones that say that they know a certain event did not occur, but the author needed to change it for the story.

The oblivious authors annoy me! Sep 26, Erin rated it liked it Shelves: I just have to say that I love Rhiannon's Character. She just doesn't let anything get her down especially with her sight. Julian doesn't let anything get in his way of taking Rhiannon even when he has to drag her back to his field hospital in the middle of the swap. Jan 24, Trisha rated it it was amazing. I really enjoyed this book. It jumped from one character to another and made it very interesting.

Wish I had started this series from the beginning, now I have to start with the first book. Nice large family and how they each choose a side and how they kept meeting during the war even though they were on opposite sides. Nov 06, Debra McEathron rated it it was amazing. This was a historical novel about the civil war and the medical issues during that time.

It also dealt with families fighting against each other to some extent. It discusses some surgical procedures, STD's, and sanitary conditions. The love story was good too. I am into civil war reading. Glory provided me with a general back drop to some of the information I have been reading. Not a heavy book but does mention some real life persons I have been exploring. Aug 21, Melinda Medlin rated it it was amazing. As with all of these in this Florida series, I love the intricacies of the characters.

The writer started bringing in the sub-plots and minor characters which I feel could have had there own books themselves. I love these books and this family, even though I know that each marriage will be for "convenience" and especially since there is lots of sex, expecially in the water. Mar 03, Linda rated it liked it. Took awhile but I finished. Love, romance, war, and spying. I did enjoy the book. Jun 02, Dawn rated it really liked it.

Enjoyed this but there seems to be a lot of family dynamic that was lost on me since I had not read the other books.
