I was pleasantly surprised when I was a awarded this wish by the publisher for this novel through Netgalley. I've read other books by this author and generally liked them. this was just as good. Jeremy and Betsy are more or less friends that banter and keep each other honest. Jeremy is fighting his own demons after having had witnessed his platoon killed during the war. His tentative friendship and eventual sexual desire for the fiery Betsy reawakens his spirit and his will to enjoy life.
I liked that Betsy is independent and thrives to be more than society expects of her. Jeremy is the perfect counterpart because he appreciates and encourages her adventurous streak. Very well written and enjoyable.
