Surrender the Dawn by M.L. TyndallMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
It says a lot that I'm giving this book 4 stars since it hit one of my pet peeves at the very beginning and several times throughout the story. I detest - not too strong a word here - the cliche, "as well as any man" when referring to a woman doing something. Detest. I almost closed the cover when I hit the first one. But I hung on and am very glad I did. A delightful tail of a lady and a rogue who both find truth and love among the twists and turns of war time. Set during the War of 1812, we even get a peek at such notable figures from history as Sir Francis Scott Key and Major Armistead. Gotta love a dose of good history in any historical!

Sometimes when we read on despite an irritation, we get lucky. Sometimes not. Glad this one turned out to be a winner for you. :)
