From the Back Cover:
Mercy Lytton is a lady like none other. Raised amongst the Mohawks, she straddles two cultures, yet each are united in one cause...to defeat the French. Born with a rare gift of unusually keen eyesight, she is chosen as a scout to accompany a team of men on a dangerous mission. Yet it is not only her life that is threatened. It is her heart.
Condemned as a traitor, Elias Dubois faces the gallows. At the last minute, he is offered his freedom if he consents to accompany a stolen shipment of French gold to a nearby fort--gold stolen from him in the first place. But as it turns out, the real thief is the beguiling woman, Mercy Lytton, for she steals his every waking thought.
Can love grow and survive divided loyalties in the back-country wilderness of the Colony of New York?
My Thoughts:
This book is quite an adventure. From condemned traitors, to the French and Indian War, this story has lots of action. I thought having the woman, Mercy, as a scout was an interesting twist to the story. She is quite the independent woman who can look out for herself. The history was interesting too with the French and the English both siding with different Indian groups. I enjoyed reading the interactions between Mercy and Elias. Both were so very guarded, but also overcome by unfamiliar feelings towards each other. I thought Michelle did a great job with the story line. It was definitely an interesting story, and one I read pretty quickly. The books in this series don't necessarily have to be read in order since the relatives are usually a few generations apart. You can read my review of the first two books by clicking here and here. So, if you're looking for a good story, then pick up The Daughters of the Mayflower series and enjoy a trip back in history!
My Rating: ★★★★
