About the Book

When soldier Caitlin McKae woke up in Atlanta after being wounded in battle, the Georgian doctor who treated her believed Caitlin's only secret was that she had been fighting for the Confederacy disguised as a man. In order to avoid arrest or worse, Caitlin hides her true identity and makes a new life for herself in Atlanta. Trained as a teacher, she accepts a job as a governess to the daughter of Noah Becker, a German immigrant lawyer, who is about to enlist with the Rebel army. Then in the spring of 1864, Sherman's troops edge closer to Atlanta. Caitlin tries to escape north with the girl, but is arrested on charges of being a spy. Will honor dictate that Caitlin follow the rules, or love demand that she break them?

My Review

I have read all of the books in this series but they can be read separately. I really enjoyed the characters in this book more so than the other books. I felt like I understood them better and as a reader was able to get more into the story line. Caitlin is quite the gal and I loved the parts of her being a governess. This helps the reader see this time period through different eyes. There is romance but it's war time, so it makes things difficult.

Full of historical details, history lovers will enjoy!

Five stars for the historical aspect.
