A rousing family saga for the fight for America's independence!
The winds of change brews over the colonies. Tension against the crown is mounting daily. In Williamsburg, the rebellion burns strong in the hearts of two siblings, Jonathan and Hannah Corbett. Spirited and headstrong, Hannah finds herself thrust in the middle of a conspiracy when her father receives a strange package from Philadelphia. Jonathan, a physician for the Continental Army, is torn between duty and family. With war looming on the horizon, the siblings soon discover there is a high price to be paid for the cry for freedom.
The Saga continues....
EMBRACE OF THE ENEMY, Book Two
It's a dangerous game you set to play, Miss Corbett. One that can have far worse than deadly consequences!
In the midst of the struggle of America's bid for independence, Hannah Corbett makes a fateful decision, descending into a world of deceit. Spurred by revenge, she heads to New York, setting in motion a dangerous game for which there is no return. Searching desperately for the man who betrayed her family, she faces the cold and brutal reality of the life of a spy. Caught in a web of lies, living with betrayal, she is trapped. She has nowhere to turn except to a man it would be treasonous to love, setting duty and desire at war. Her heart is ripped apart when she must choose between the man who risks his career and life to protect her and the only thing that has remained constant in her life...her belief in her cause.

Great read !!
Great read !!
Is it a history book a romance or both? This book was a joy to read with the characters from our history books interspersed with the story of Hannah our heroine ,the least likely spy you will ever encounter.Her passion for life ,our fledgling country and for family puts her in these circumstances but you will keep on reading for the love of two very different men as they vie for her heart.If you love historical fiction like the North and South series you will surely love this book."This book was gifted to me in exchange for an honest review". -
I think from a historical perspective, it's a fascinating book. It flows very well. (I was somewhat concerned that the dialogue might be a bit too boring, but it wasn't.) Hannah is a very determined woman. Stubborn in her own right, but has a fiery passion for the Patriot cause. When members of her family are attacked and killed, she sets out to find out who's behind it so she can plot her revenge. While I don't agree with everything she did in the book, I admire her courage and strength to see things through.
Jonathan strikes me as a man who loves his family, but has been dealt an unfair hand. A wife who betrayed him. A sister that he knows is in danger. A son he's barely seen. And he's a doctor attending to wounded and dying soldiers while trying to make sense of it all. It's an exhausting situation, mentally as well as physically. Like Hannah, I believe he tries to find some quiet strength to keep him going, but it's difficult.
While reading this book, I couldn't help but think that both figures must have felt entirely alone too much in their respective situations. A doctor dealing with all the demands of war and a spy trying to help the cause without putting too many lives, including her own, in danger.
Note: There is some sex, but I'm happy to say that the author doesn't saturate every page with sexual scenes or references because it would distract us from the historical events that unfolded during the war. -
Not for me
Good enough plot, however, this writer does not know the first thing about grammer. A sentence is a complete thought. The writer leaves jagged colors of words that make no sense throughout the pages. This, I hesitate to call it a book, needs a good editing. Words are missing or in the wrong place. And, my biggest pet peeve, not completing the storyline within the pages. Why spend so much time on the brother's story, if you're not going to finish it. The heroine's story isn't completed with the threat of the British destroying her newfound peace. Good premise; poorly executed. -
Romance and Mysterious Espionage
I found these books to be very good and I enjoyed reading them. They are well written and keeps you interested. I offered to read these books to give a review......I was in no way offered any thing to read these books! Again, I thought they were well written and I enjoyed the characters! -
I
I was so engrossed in this story and I think it did not end well. Unless, this is the first part of. Journey for Hannah. -
ok
I was excited to read this and found it to be a little confusing. I wasn’t sure what was happening all the time. Could have been better. -
Close but...
I'm not sure if I chose this one or it was give for a review. By the cover I can't imagine I'd have chosen it. But I do love historical fiction. And in that aspect it's fairly good. But like too many series it just ends. And I despise the character of Marcus Durham. What a selfish jerk. And from the terrible cover I assumed it was one of those sappy romance novels. I just could not figure this one out. I'd have loved it without that crappy love story bit that seems to be added for no good reason. This was so close to being good but just fell a bit short. The battles were well done though. -
Good historical romance
I liked the interwoven family saga that was incorporated with historical events! I just don't think a book has to be so graphic in sexual details, I find it adds NOTHING to the story. Maybe there needs to be different categories so I don't get this type! Thanks, Kathy Easley -
Fire the editor
Very good, engaging story but poor paragraph structure detracts and causes confusion. At one point, a new paragraph started in the middle of a sentence. At many points dialogue was run together, so that there were multiple speakers in the same paragraph, so it was hard to tell who said what. -
Well plotted historical novel
Strong and interesting fictional characters are woven with historical persons, creating a novels that is tense, filled with surprising twists and a look at the everyday lives of those living during the start of the American Revolution. We realize the constitutional, liberties many take for granted were fought with lives, sacrifices and honor. -
Wonderful trip back to the Revolutionary War!
I absolutely devoured this book! Interesting, well developed characters and exciting scenes. From the battlefields to espionage, family intrigue and love. Definitely will be reading more of this series and Imaginative author! -
Great book
A great book of historical fiction set during the revolutionary war. A young girl fight for the cause she believes in but loses many along the way. She finds out how strong she really is when those she depends on, let's her down when she needed them most. -
Excellent
I was up all night reading because I couldn't put it down! Brings the war for independence to life in a way that will make you realize how much they gave up to be free! A true appreciation for our forefathers! Good read!! -
It was honestly really hard to follow this at times due to the grammatical errors. Who cleared this for publishing? Storyline was okay. Honestly, there’s many other quality books out there that you don’t need to bother with this one.

Great book of History
I have really enjoyed this book, it was a " page Turner" from the first page. I can't wait to start book 2 of this series -
Both books are cliffhangers...and there are more in the series. ☹️
-
I haven’t read. It just popped up as if I was reading.

Not recommended
This book is poorly researched, with anachronisms throughout. The grammar is appalling. It's too bad a good story received such
amateur handling. -
Winds of Betrayal
Excellent story of the beginning of this nation's birth and the price that was paid by so many to win our freedom. Just enough romance mixed in to make for an especially touching history lesson. As I read this book I gained a much better understanding of what our forefathers sacrificed to give us our future. Can't wait for the next installment.
