I dont want to give too much of the story and plot away but. This is Roxanna Rowan and Cass McLinns story.

This is a story of love, sorrow, hope, and struggles of our brave men and women faced daily in the late 1700s in Kentucky. Frantz takes us, the reader, through an accurately portrayed voyage in the course of an important moment within our own history in The Colonels Lady. Make room for The Colonel's Lady on your keeper shelf right beside The Frontiersman's Daughter and Courting Morrow Little.Ī fantastic, larger-than-life, bittersweet, beautifully written historical romance Be prepared to stay up long into the night even after the final page is turned thinking about all that happened, not just between the hero and heroine, but at Fort Endeavor and on the battlefield.

If Cass and Roxanna's unfolding relationship doesn't keep you riveted to the page nothing will. From the first shocking accident of an on edge militia to the tender ministrations and care of a lover to his beloved on her sickbed to the final shocking revelation, The Colonel's Lady will leave your heart topsy turvy. The beautiful and dangerous Kentucke territory has never been more alive to me and characters have never spoken to me more in any Christian book I've read. This book is not simply a historical romance but a story of loss, hope, and the resilience of the human spirit. (Aug.Nobody writes frontier romance like Laura Frantz! The Colonel's Lady is yet another example of Christian fiction at it's finest. Some of the minor characters are less well-drawn (the mute child Abby is more plot device than character), and the pace can plod as the clouds of battle gather But these flaws don't detract much from a satisfying and surprisingly subtle read. Frantz has also done her historical homework, building a setting that shows how the times were not easy. The message is Christian and redemptive, but it's not piled on with piety, and the romance is sensual enough within Christian fiction constraints. Frantz (The Frontiersman's Daughter) manages to neatly tie and untie a tough plot knot, and Roxie and Cass are both well-characterized.

What she'll later learn is that McLinn, with whom she slowly falls in love, keeps a secret about how her father died. What she'll soon learn is that her father is dead, and she'll take his place as the scrivener%E2%80%94secretary%E2%80%94of the fort commander, Col. She bravely, and desperately, seeks to join her father at a remote fort on the western frontier in Kentucky. In 1779, Roxanna Rowan is aging into spinsterhood, having been jilted by her betrothed.
