Hamilton's Battalion: A Trio of Romances by Courtney Milan, Alyssa Cole, Rose Lerner
4.0
A pleasing collection of three romantic novellas of the Revolutionary War, tied together by a common (peripheral) theme of Colonel Alexander Hamilton.
In "Promised Land," Rachel is serving the patriot cause in the guise of Corporal Ezra Jacobs, when one day she suddenly spots a man who could ruin everything: her husband. This was a cute story, and Rachel was a kick-ass heroine, but Nathan's fecklessness made me somewhat doubtful of the potential of their reunion.
In "The Pursuit of ..." John, an American patriot, and Henry, a British deserter, begin as enemies attempting to kill one another, but end up journeying together on a 500-mile walk to reunite John with his family. I enjoyed this story most of the three. It was very sweet.
In "That Could Be Enough," Mercy Alston works in the household of Eliza Hamilton, Alexander's widow, who is compiling a memoir of sorts, interviewing seemingly every individual who has ever met her husband. As Mercy does all of the note-taking, she is present when force-of-nature Andromeda Stiel shows up to tell her story. And in Andromeda Mercy senses an upending of her calm, orderly life. A hopeful, uplifting tale.
