***PATRIOTISM, HISTORY & ROMANCE ***
Oh my word. I LOVED this book. I started it yesterday afternoon and read until midnight, forcing myself to sleep a few hours before waking to finish it.
Endover Plantation, outside Williamsburg, VA 1783 (following the Revolutionary War)
Larksong Benton is celebrating another birthday, yet still unwed to Emerson Fielding after a proposal two years ago at her eighteenth birthday. He has remained distant, aloof and uninterested other than the customary gentleman is required to be.
Wiley Benton intends to see his sister happy, and has warned his good friend he needs to change his attitude or call off the match.
A devious cousin, Penelope, shows up and immediately begins a flirtation with Emerson that causes even more confusion and doubt concerning the betrothed couple.
When Wiley decides to send his sweet sister into hiding with friends in Annapolis to resolve her feelings and put enough distance between her fiancé and family, Lark agrees and is quickly befriended by the extremely adventurous and beautiful Sena and her kind family. Lark finally has the chance to come out of her shell and explore her true self.
Sena’s good friends, Edwinn Calvert and his sister Kate are Tories; loyal to the English Crown, and therefore outcasts since the War. However, Edwinn’s reason stems not from a lack of patriotism, but rather a deeply personal one between himself and God. He is a good and caring man, who does love his country and adds much to the story. Ch. 5 “Was it so wrong to wish for a companion? To wish he had the freedom of other, Patriot men, to pay court to the young women around him and discover what match the Lord might have in store for him?”
Emerson finally begins to question who he is and whether or not his proposal to Miss Benton was the right choice or not, and aims to discover those answers by finding out exactly where she has gone and confronting her. I enjoyed Emerson’s strength, and his choices throughout the book once he realized the value of Lark. They have great chemistry.
Wiley is a wonderful supporting character who made me laugh more than once.
Lark is convinced she is unworthy and not as good as anyone else around her. Her inner struggles brought me to tears.
Several historical figures, such as Gen. George Washington, also make appearances.
A story not to be missed!
