The author chose a riveting portion of the Civil War -- the Kansas/Missouri bloodbath. I've read little about this particular aspect of the Civil War.
Unfortunately, Cole is a very dark individual; it is hard to like him. The fact that he makes an innocent individual his mistress to ensure his help, doesn't mark Cole as chivalrous. Perhaps Cole is the embodiment of the hate and struggles going on in the Kansas-Missouri region, however, I found him too dark and forbidding to like seeing him as a hero.
It is important to read the books in order.
Slater Brothers of Virginia Trilogy:
1) DARK STRANGER (Cole),
2) RIDES A HERO (Malachi) and
3) APACHE SUMMER (Jamie).
