Review:Simply fascinating! An underexplored story of courage in the worst situations. McGovern is another representative of this age that produced men who did not think of themselves first. A rarity these days. Read more

Review:The book has so much less than meaningful detail that it is difficult to see the story and its salient facts. I doubt very much if the preponderance of the detail was based on recorded events. Whether it was or was not, its inclusion was beyond unnecessary It was superfluous and distracting. Read more

Review:Although there are still some heartwarming moments, this is probably one book too many. Parts of it feel like a reworking of the previous books. Much of it dwells on broader social issues that, while important, are not really why I read the series. Read more

Review:I was really disappointed with this book. I love her other ones but this one fell short. She didn't paint the scenes as well as she usually does and it seemed like it was a hurried effort. I also felt the romance thread could have been built up more. At first the guy's an ass but she didn't really describe the attraction between them, it was just kinda sorta there at the end. I hope Kearsley's next one is more like her others. Read more
