"In the winter of 1794, on the edge of the New York wilderness, Elizabeth and Nathaniel Bonner have settled into the comforts of domestic bliss. Typically, however, adventure seeks these two out. Alone but for her stepdaughter Hannah, Elizabeth gives birth to twins, while Nathaniel and his father Hawkeye are imprisoned in Montreal. Determined to help her men, Elizabeth packs up the children and sets off to free them. Liberty does not bring relief to the Bonner clan, however, as sinister forces conspire to pirate them to Scotland and embroil them in a complex family feud." (From Amazon)
A great follow-up to the first novel. The Bonners are off to a rescue mission in Canada and Scotland. I enjoyed the way Donati sets up the time and place. I am glad we get more of the Bonner men's roots and past.

Donati definitely knows how to spin a captivating tale. I was interested in this story from start to finish, especially after the departure to Scotland. I think there were some storylines that were able to be tied up a little too conveniently, and the characters continue to be more modern than I think they should be, but I plan on continuing the series for now.

Great read!
I think this sequel was better than the first book! The characters are so well developed and I was finished with the book before I even realized it. Interesting twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. Not predictable at all. I recommend!

Really enjoyed this, there were a few slow parts where I drifted a bit during the story, but in general a very solid historical fiction. I hope to get hold of the audiobook version but it is not currently available in Nw Zealand!

started very slow, but picked up nicely about half way in. enjoyed more than the first, but I think I am ready to read something outside the series. 3.5 stars.
