Description:
This exciting romantic
spy novel from Roseanna M. White combines fascinating cloak-and-dagger secrets
with a tale of love and intrigue during the Revolutionary War. Winter Reeves is
an aristocratic Patriot forced to hide her heart amid the Loyalists of the City
of New York. She has learned to keep her ears open so she can pass information
on British movements to Robbie Townsend, her childhood friend, and his spy
ring. If she's caught, if she's hung for espionage...well, she won't be. Robbie
has taught her the tools of the trade: the wonders of invisible ink, drop
locations and, most importantly, a good cover. Bennet Lane returns to New York
from his Yale professorship with one goal: to find General Washington's spy
hidden among the ranks of the elite. Searching for a wife was supposed to be
nothing more than a convenient cover story for his mission, but when he meets
Winter, with her too-intelligent eyes in her too-blank face, he finds a mystery
that can't be ignored. Both believers...and both committed to a separate cause.
Will their faith in God lead them to a shared destiny or lives lived apart?
When I got the email from Roseanna
White saying I had won her Culper Ring
series, I was ecstatic! I love books, history, and mystery, and free things, so
it couldn’t get much better. I waited for the books to come in the mail and
started reading the first one as soon as I opened the package.
Winter was a fascinating character. I
don’t think I have read a book about a very smart girl pretending to be stupid all the time, to get information from
the enemy. The uniqueness of the plot and characters made me fall in love
instantly with this book. Even in the couple of rough spots of the book, Winter
kept me reading. She is one of those characters that gets stuck in your head
and stays.
Bennet wasn’t as well developed as
Winter, I felt. Don’t get me wrong, he made an excellent hero. His way of pursuing
Winter was not only charming, it was heartwarming. My main issue with Bennet is that I really
didn’t understand why he felt the way he did about things both personally or
politically. I won’t say anything else about that, because I don’t want to give
away any of the book.
The story itself was so fascinating
that I didn’t want to stop reading. Winter’s political and personal struggles
made sure that there was never a dull moment. There were several times I
ignored my siblings, because I had to find out what happened next.
The historical setting of this book was
captured wonderfully. White obviously did a lot of research for this story (I
loved the prayers). The details painted a rich picture of the times and the
people who lived in them.
I highly recommend this book for
history lovers, Revolutionary War buffs, those who love spy stories, or those
looking for an entertaining read.
