The Colonel's Lady
by
Laura Frantz
In 1779, when genteel
Virginia spinster Roxanna Rowan arrives at the Kentucky fort commanded
by Colonel Cassius McLinn, she finds that her officer father has died.
Penniless and destitute, Roxanna is forced to take her father's place as
scrivener. Before long, it's clear that the colonel himself is
attracted to her. But she soon realizes the colonel has grave secrets of
his own—some of which have to do with her father's sudden death. Can
she ever truly love him?My Review: 5/10
some aspects were definitely interesting, but i felt the story could have, sometimes should have, ended several times over. the constant crying got a bit old and if it werent for the overuse of the word "winsome" (apx every other page) I would have given it 6/10- if im too distracted by the word use to take in the story, its too much. i liked 5 feathers' involvement. and though i suspected either hank, bella or micajah (sp?) I was never certain, so that was well done.
