When handsome British viscount Major Lord Peter Tremayne commandeers her home, rebel Kate Grey throws caution to the wind and responds to his seduction. But a spy in her own household steals the military dispatches Tremayne carries, ensuring his disgrace - and implicating Kate in high treason. Months later, having narrowly escaped court martial and hanging, Tremayne returns to decadent, British-occupied Philadelphia with a new assignment - to capture the woman he believes betrayed him.

Action-Packed Racy Read
Revisado: 05-13-15
I really enjoyed this piece of historical fiction. Loved the strong female main character and her growth from a chaste farm girl to a chased-after spy and coveted lover. She is exciting and adventurous, and also full of honor. Many men seek her company, but only one seems worthy of it. Will he prove himself in the end? Will she choose her country or the man she loves? Set during the Revolutionary War, the story is also chock full of battles and intrigue as well fantastic literary depictions of 18th Century Philadelphia society and fashions. My one criticism is that the reader's English accent left a bit to be desired, but it wasn't too difficult to put that aside for the rest of the performance. I would also suggest to other listers of this audio book to use headphones if you're listening at work or in the presence of children as the book does get a bit bloody and a bit racy at times.

Soldier Girls follows the lives of three women on their paths to the military. These women, who are quite different in every way, become friends, and we watch their interaction and also what happens when they are separated. We see their families, their lovers, their spouses, their children. We see them work extremely hard, deal with the attentions of men on base and in war zones, and struggle to stay connected to their families back home.

Eye-opening True Story
Revisado: 04-29-15
Soldier Girls is the incredible true story of three women who join the National Guard, each for different reasons personal to them. In the course of their journeys, each woman is deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan or both, which permanently alters their lives, relationships and the lives of their families forever. It is an extremely revealing book, which will open your eyes to the struggles of real military women. This book will change your opinion on the wars and greatly inform your ideas about women in combat. It's fantastically well-written, engaging, action-packed, and emotional. This is a book you will want to read.
