Review: The Liberty Bride by MaryLu Tyndall

Amazon Blur---"A trip home from England to Maryland in 1812 finds Emeline Baratt a captive on a British warship and forced to declare her allegiance between the British and Americans. Remaining somewhat politically neutral on a ship where her nursing skills are desperately needed is fairly easy—until she starts to have feelings for the first lieutenant who becomes her protector. However, when the captain sends her and Lieutenant Owen Masters on land to spy, she must choose between her love for him and her love for her country."

I'm giving this book 4 stars. It was an excellent story, but it wasn't until I got over halfway through that I "couldn't put it down." The first half was just as good, but something about it just didn't keep my attention. That being said, you should definitely read this book. It is thrilling. I have always felt like there wasn't enough material set around the War of 1812, and that's why I was so extra excited to get my hands on The Liberty Bride. The characters were amazing! Even the supporting characters had depth and meaning to them. I feel like the author did a crazy good job of getting emotion to leap from the pages. And if you love a war story with a strong female lead to help save the day... well, just look no further! Fans of the Daughters of the Mayflower series will enjoy reading this installment and travelling with Emeline through the thick of battle. Danger, love, and dangerous love will thrill you to your toes.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review
