A Conflicted Betrothal

By Denise Weimer

Book Overview

A King's Ranger, a secret patriot, and a love that calls everything into question.

As a King's Ranger on Georgia's frontier, Ansel Anderson loves his independent life. But he's also a second son, which means he'll need the favor of someone influential to secure a land grant to settle his future. What better way to win support than by marrying the daughter of a member of the Governor's Council? Yet Ansel's straightforward plan is complicated by Miss Scott's aloofness and his own growing sympathy for the passionate cause of the Liberty Boys.

As drawn to the enigmatic Ansel Anderson as Temperance Scott might be, he'd be more of a match for her feisty twin sister-who is all too happy to oblige. Not only would timid, nearsighted Temperance make a poor wife for a man trained for life on the frontier, but anyone she allows close to her must share her secret patriot ideals.

When Savannah erupts into riots and intrigue following the passage of the Stamp Act, Ansel is tasked with identifying a spy passing sensitive information to the Liberty Boys and the author of anonymous letters threatening those loyal to the governor. And as suspicions focus on the Scott family, which is he prepared to sacrifice-love or loyalty?

Colonial History with Romance

If you love history and standing up for your convictions even in the midst of conflict whether it goes against family and friends beliefs then look no farther for the book for you. This author is so proficient in her historical knowledge that it brings the past to life as you read. I admired Temperance and her inner strength it took to stand up for her beliefs even if it meant losing the one she loved. Ansel is stuck in between being faithful to his position as a King’s Ranger and his loyalty and love for Temperance. Living in Georgia in 1765 would have been difficult as the Patriots grew and stood up against the King and the Stamp Act. I found this book to be very interesting and enlightening. I look forward to reading the next book in the Scouts of the Frontier series. I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
