    About this ebook

    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.

      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!

      what a great story. I liked the twists and turns, and was glad neither gave in to soon.

      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.

      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.

      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.
