This was my first book from this author. I enjoyed the unique historical setting. It was evident a lot of research when into this novel. I the beginning of the book I really felt like I was experiencing the fire!
This book also has a lot more substance than you normally find in Christian fiction. It's not just a romance novel - there's a back plot involving Mollie looking out for a group of Civil War veterans that is very touching.
Unfortunately, the romance element was my least favorite part of this book. Mollie and Zack acted like high schoolers most of the time, refusing to be mature and talk things out. A love triangle (or more like love quadrilateral) developed. I didn't like the way Mollie and the colonel's relationship was handled. It felt like author gave him a bunch of random flaws all of a sudden just so Mollie would have an excuse to break up with him.
