Synopsis

(Women
of War Book 2)
 #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan
Wiggs sweeps readers away to the misty coast of Ireland in an irresistible tale
of falling in love with the enemy… 



John Wesley Hawkins was condemned to hang,
accused of treason and heresy. As he's transported to the scaffold at Tyburn,
however, the Lord Protector steps in and offers him the hand of mercy—if Wesley
agrees to travel to Ireland on a dangerous mission into the heart of the Irish
resistance against English rule. He'll have to seduce the rebels' secrets from
a headstrong Irishwoman, but that shouldn't be a problem for a man of Wesley's
reputation…. 



Caitlin MacBride is mistress of the beleaguered
Irish castle Clonmuir, and she makes no secret of her loyalty to her
countrymen. She's determined to remain strong for her people, but a wish for
true love one evening at sunset yields the one thing that may sway her resolve.
When Wesley walks out of the mist that fateful night, Caitlin's faith in the
magic of Ireland is briefly restored—until she discovers he's one of the
treacherous Englishmen she has spent her life fighting against.

Goodreads review by Janie on March 19, 2015

Excellent details -- made me feel like I was in Ireland. Great sense of place. Enjoyed the characters, but plot movement went fairly slowly as did character development. Liked the intrigue and the splash of magic thrown in. I'd read something else by this author.......more

First, a disclaimer: I don’t usually read romance novels, so that might have skewed my rating somewhat.
