GoodReads Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Romance, clean, period;

Lydia and Jacob's story set during the War of 1812 was heartfelt, honest, hurting, and a well done imagining of the American revolt, and of the War of 1812 British attack on Washington City as part of the story.  Their sweet romance also an integral part of the story.  The backstory of Lydia's and Jacob's first meeting, the attack on her home and her injury during the attack, the servants, the other side characters, and their life in Annapolis, all well described.  Lydia's care for her servants, her pain and worry with her physical 'trial' (no spoilers here!), and Jacob's worry, and misunderstanding of her interactions with him, made it all the sweeter at the conclusion of the novel.

Loved the setting, the backstory, and their sweet moments throughout the novel.  J.L.M. had some fun historical details that she included as part of the novel that made it even more interesting.  Perfect escape read with that bit of history thrown in.
