    About this audiobook

    Two hard-headed, passionate people . . . Two stubborn opponents with tender souls . . . Sometimes wars of the heart can only be won through the sweetest of surrenders.

    The War Between the States may be over for the rest of the country, but not for Kit Weston. Disguised as a boy, she's come to New York City to kill Baron Cain, the man who stands between her and Risen Glory, the South Carolina home she loves. But unknown to Kit, the Yankee war hero is more than her bitterest enemy—he's also her guardian. And he'll be a lot harder to kill than she's figured on . . .

    Believing that Kit's a boy, Cain offers the grubby rapscallion a job in his stable. But he has no idea what he's in for, and it's not long before the hero of Missionary Ridge discovers the truth. His scamp of a stable boy is a strong-willed, violet-eyed beauty who's hell-bent on driving him crazy.

      Audiobook: Narrator - Cristine McMurdo-Wallis

      While I enjoyed this audio, there were times I struggled with knowing who was talking as this narrator did not always have definitive voices for the various characters within the story. Otherwise, it was really well done. The voices that she did add additional characterization to were outstanding and really pulled me into the time and place.

      It’s been way too long since I’ve not only read a book during this era, but one that was written during the time this was originally published. There’s just something raw about both of these times. And while I don’t want to be politically incorrect, the fact that the 80s gave us hardcore romance that was not PC, is undeniable. Add in the fact that these were the books that made me fall in love with romance, and well, I guess I’ve got some incorrectness running through me.

      I’ll admit, I haven’t read a civil war era romance since I first started, so I have no clue what one would read like today. I can say that I enjoyed the heck out of most of this book. I loved the tension, the angst, the back and forth between this hero and heroine. I did want to smack both of them a time or two, but especially the heroine. This also had a great secondary story/romance running through it that helped to ramp up the angst level. But the heroine held on to her animosity way too long and I was hoping/expecting the hero to step up at some point to set things straight.

      The ending was very fast and I would have liked to have seen a really good look at this couple after they reconciled, but it does have a happy ending. I have to admit, this book kinda had me jittery and on the edge of my seat because, really, back in the 80s - anything could happen.

      I think every other Susan Elizabeth Phillips book i've read, I've given 5 stars - maybe some got 4, but not too many, I love them, every one - until now. It is the last book of hers I've read and it's one of the oldest I think. I don't know whether she hadn't yet found her voice, if I just don't like the setting and time period, or it's really just not as good as her others - whichever, I just wasn't very fond of it. I'm not a fan of historical novels so that's one down side. Usually Susan's books are very funny - this one was not, although there were some cute parts. I'm so glad that this was the last of her books that I read - had it been the first, I wouldn't have picked up a second.
    • 4/5
      This historical romance had an exciting beginning and plenty of action that moved right along but the animosity between the hero and heroine went on a bit too long with not enough re-building of the relationship. Disguised as a boy, Kit goes to New York City to kill Baron Cain.
    • 3/5
      Although some of the events might be unbelievable, and some of the events read or seen somewhere else; but as usually happens after reading SEP I loved the characters and couldn't let go until I finish the book!
    • 3/5
      I love when the-most-beautiful-lady-in-all-the-land has a guy's haircut and dresses in britches and everyone thinks she's a dude. NOT. This plot device is used a lot and, while it allows for the fun of mistaken identity conversations and that moment when the lead male character realizes that he has been attracted to a woman, not a preteen male, it usually is not very believable.

      Also, I am not a huge fan of historical fiction to begin with but I still enjoyed this. I mean, any excuse to use the word rapscallion is a-okay in my book.

      Something else I "learned" from this book: If you set something on fire, you should just chill out and wait until embers catch YOU on fire and smoke takes over your lungs. Don't run away. And, if at the last minute you decide you probably should've run away, make sure to leave a little token so people can figure out it was you. Seriously, Kit is supposed to be pretty intelligent. If an intelligent person is going to set a mill on fire (I know, right?), I'm betting they would spread the kerosene, strike a match, and then F-ING RUN LIKE HELL. She totally could've gotten away with it. Though I suppose Cain could not have "punished" her if he didn't know it was her. Alas.

      What a disappointment! So predictable! and trite.Tomboy heroine and dominant male in the old South.Reads like something written in the 1950's.
