Surrender by Pamela Clare

4.0

I don't know why I'm ever hesitant to read books by Pamela Claire, for the most part I've enjoyed every single one of them. This book felt very true to the time period.

This isn’t a fluffy historical romance. There are graphic war descriptions of the battles between the French/Abenaki and the British/Scotsman Rangers. There are beatings, whippings, scalping, branding, and starvation.

There is also so much hope in this story. There are men and women who do the right thing, just because it's the right thing to do. Who hold honor and respect as the highest quality a human can possess. There is depth of love between a man and his brothers, fellow soldiers, found family, and with Annie, an indentured with a hidden past.

This is ultimately a touching love story, filled with genuine emotions and some very spicy steam.
