Book Description

Linnet plunged into the Kentucky wilderness, leaving behind the remnants of her life in London. But a savage Indian attack on the wagon train wiped out her fellow travelers, and left her alone in a harsh land...at the mercy of a fierce Shawnee tribe.

When a handsome young brave claimed her, in perfect English, as his own, Linnet knew she was safe. Until the jealousy of his powerful chief forced them to flee on a hazardous journey, fraught with peril and treachery...a journey that threatened both their lives, and their very special love

My Thoughts

This is the book in the James River series. It also brings to life my love of plantations and their beauty.  No, I'm not talking about the history of slavery or anything but the beauty of the homes and tree lines driveway. We are losing the beauty of acres of farmland, trees, and nature as we build bigger buildings and the population grows. I miss seeing acres of land untouched. 

It is here in the wild of Kentucky that we meet Linnet. A woman rescued by a daring man. Linnet is a strong woman whose heart is filled with love and kindness. When she is rescued she is taken to Sweetbriar where she falls in love with the people and the man who rescues her.

Devon saves Linnets and is taken with her but his jealousy just may cause him to lose her. 

What I loved about this book was Linnet's ability to love everyone. I loved she taught her daughter to love people for what's inside and not out. This book is in true Jude style and I absolutely loved it. It had love, it had adventure and it had people who loved one another.

Once again Jude drew me into her world and I loved every moment of it. She brings to life the scenery and the people. Brilliant.
