Betrothed to a man her father thinks will solidify their Tory cause, lacemaker Lady Elisabeth Lawson is shocked when her fiancé abandons her after she is accused of being a British spy in Williamsburg, VA. It's the eve of the American Revolution, and tensions are high. But help arrives in the form of patriot Noble Rynallt. However, their relationship is fraught as their opposing political affiliations cause them to be cautious of each other. The two realize that the wrong spark can set off an epic explosion. Christy Award finalist Frantz's (A Moonbow Night) lush descriptions immerse readers in the sights, sounds, and smells of 1770s Williamsburg. The suspense is palpable as the plot unwinds into a tangle of local and global politics. VERDICT With believable, sympathetic characters and a swoon-worthy romance, Frantz's latest is perfect for those reading for character and looking for a great historical love story.

Library Journal

Narrator Aimee Lilly enhances the drama of this audiobook and adds distinction to its characters. On the brink of the American Revolution, pampered Lady Elisabeth Lawson is set to marry until she finds herself abandoned by her Royalist father, her spineless fiancé, and her friends—except for Noble Rynallt, an intriguing and honorable Patriot. Lilly does a credible Southern accent and effectively portrays the British nobility and colonial Williamsburg Virginians who populate this story. She is especially successful in depicting the personality of Elisabeth's shallow and disloyal friend, Cressida. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
