I absolutely loved this book!
Great historical detail was put into this story,
It was a very different approach by it focusing around the hero instead of the heroine this time, and the author did a fabulous job!
Although.
. . there was a lot of Caleb/Blue Hawk finally finds happiness only to have it cruelly taken away and how will he survive kind of theme pretty much throughout the whole book.
It may get on some readers nerves and get tiresome, but I just couldn't stop flipping the pages hoping for a HEA and the constant adventure, drama, betrayals, suspense, heartaches, kept me reeled right in.
