Loyalty, battle and betrayal November 14, 2008
Helen Hancox (Essex, England)
As I started reading this book I realised I had no idea where it was set. The hero appeared to be Scottish, the heroine French, there were some British military types and lots of mention of French place-names with which I was unfamiliar. However the penny dropped when the book started talking about Indians and I realised we were in North America/Canada a few hundred years ago.
The Scottish aspect of the book did continue to confuse me at times. I discovered as I read the book that this was the second in a series and no doubt the groundwork was laid much more clearly in the first book. However a bunch of Scottish Rangers doing battle in Canada wasn't something I'd ever really considered before and it took me quite a while to work out which side was which and who was doing what.
As the story unfolded, though, I began to enjoy it. Amelie Chauvenet is a young woman who has been raised in a convent after the death of her mother. She finds herself in a Fort under attack by the British and her father is killed in the battle. She is asked to tend the wounds of a captured soldier, Morgan MacKinnon, who she holds at least partly responsible for her father's death. Morgan is a worthy prize, one of the skilled Rangers and someone who the Indian allies of the fighting French wish to dispatch with their own form of punishment.
For Amalie, working to heal a man so that he can be killed goes rather against the grain, especially as he doesn't conform to her initial ideas of him. He is patient, honourable and kind, and the patient/nurse effect duly takes place. MacKinnon is offered a way out of death, that of joining the French side. His loyalty to his brother Rangers doesn't allow him this option but he pretends to go along with it so that he can survive. As MacKinnon is accepted into the French army he has to look for his opportunity to escape and try to keep Amalie away from danger. But things might not work out quite as he hopes as there are people out to get him and Amalie may not be willing to let him leave her.
The historical setting in this book was very good (once I'd worked out what was going on) and the detail the author provided felt convincing. Both hero and heroine were good characters with depth to them and their romance felt believable. Despite the plot of the book not being particularly deep it never dragged and overall it was a good read.
