I was excited about reading another book in this series, but this one didn't cut it for me.  I didn't appreciate the innuendos that were here and there throughout the book, especially since this a Christian fiction book.  Nor, did I appreciate the fact that the mother is made out to be a bad guy and the father is nearly perfect; even though he doesn't bother to require about his wife the whole time he is out west.  Also, there were some loose ends at the end of the book that didn't get tied up.

"The Courier of Caswell Hall"

Melanie Dobson

As with any war, the Revolutionary War made people do things they didn't know they were capable of doing.  Torn between her family and her beliefs, Lydia Caswell finds that she has to make decisions that may put her and her family in danger.  All she wants is for this wretched war to end, but she must do her part in making it so, even if it's the last thing she does.

This book was a different read for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I could not put it down.  The ending was a little rushed, though.  Other than that it was a very well-written book about the Revolutionary War that stayed true the facts as they really happened, and the fiction that was so creatively written around them.  

Full of adventure, suspense and a little romance, this book is a hit!  I felt I could picture every detail as I read it's vivid description.  While reading this book, it made me more grateful for what our forefathers went through to provide us with freedom!

I received this complimentary book from Litfuse Publicity Group for review purposes.
