My Review
During the Civil War, Julienne Dalton is left an orphan when
her father is killed and she is burned out of her home by Union Soldiers. In an
attempt to assuage her father’s death, she becomes a spy for the Confederacy.
But she never counted on meeting Englishman, Alexander Caulfield, on a mission
of his own. Their quick courtship
results in marriage, but both carry secrets that can destroy the other.
I must admit it took me a while to get into Rebel Heart. For
some reason the author has chosen to write this tale in both first person and
third person, switching back and forth as the story progresses. I found it
jarring, and never really got used to it.
However, this is a wonderful story with strong characters,
and a riveting storyline. Julienne is everything a heroine should be, and
Alexander compliments her perfectly. Rebel Heart is the type of story that
tears at your heart, bringing all the human emotions to the reader. I laughed,
cried, and felt deep sympathy for the suffering of Julienne and Alexander.
I strongly recommend this book, and look forward to more of
this talented author’s work. Well done, Ms. Wilson.
