I should say, I'm UK based, so the 1812 war between Canada and the US is not really one I know anything about. Therefore, I cannot comment on the accuracy of the details in this book.
What I can comment on, though, is the story between Zee and Jesse and their struggle to cope during this war. I loved them both, together and apart. They are both strong people, emotionally, do deal with such a difficult time, and to come out the other side.
It's beautifully written, from both Zee and Jesse's POV. There are wonderful descriptions of the scenery in that part of the world. I really enjoyed trying to picture them.
It has some lighter moments, but some darker ones too. There was much that made me cry.
I haven't read anything by this author before, A quick look shows her books seem to be about couples in settings with a war backdrop. I'd like to read more from this author.

If you have read the previous books, then you will know that Gem is a lot. And Rusty is a little bit... erm... prickly. So how on earth can these two get together? Quite easily, as it happens. I loved reading this story, especially with the soft and mushy parts that Tad abhors. My heart broke for Rusty, and it was glued back together again by Gem's care and devotion. Honestly? Gem grew on me, and I could see how much he meant to Rusty.
Lots of funny moments and rambles, coupled with sexy times. It's good to see the cafe and found family expanding. A great addition to the series and definitely recommended by me. I look forward to continuing with the series.
