The year is 1777. As the brooding mists of war settle over a stark American battlefield, Captain Ritcherd Buchanan yearns for his native England--and for Kyrah Payne, the woman he loves. Wounded and disheartened, he eventually returns home, only to have Kyrah torn cruelly away from him and deported for a crime she didn't commit. Desperate to bring her home, he joins a band of privateers and finds himself embracing the American patriot cause--a cause he'd once sworn to defeat. Alone in a country at war, Kyrah becomes a victim of the breach between her own impoverished circumstances and the aristocratic upbringing of the man she loves. They had been best friends and confidants for more than half her life, but now she wonders if Ritcherd will ever be able to find her--or if he'll even try. And she fears that the chasm between their worlds can never be bridged.

Review

AWESOME! One of the best books I have ever read! I look forward to reading the full saga. This has the best story line and it is so interesting I didn't want to put it down. Ms. Stansfield, you are an amazing fighter! --5-Star Amazon Review

This is my first Anita Stansfield novel and I know it won't be my last. She's got me hooked into the story of Kyrah and Ritcherd and I've got to keep reading! Wonderful and captivating story line that keeps the reader guessing. It's one of those novels that was difficult for me to put down, which, in my case, doesn't happen often. Glad I've got a Kindle so I can just download the next one and keep going. Very talented author. --5-Star Kindle Review

This was such a fun book to read. I love historical fiction especially when it is about the revolutionary war and being torn between the country of their birth (England) and the new county (America). It was as if these were star crossed lovers who were destined to never be together and yet never gave up hope no matter what circumstances both in England and then in America. Fantastic Series. Never been disappointed to read a book from Anita Stansfield. --5-Star Amazon Review

5.0 out of 5 stars So heartbreaking and romantic!
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2014
Verified Purchase
This story takes place in England and the American Colonies during the Revolutionary war. A love between two young people is put on hold when Ritcherd is called up to serve for England in the war. Three years pass before he returns wounded. But his girl has been irrevocably changed by circumstances in his absence, and feels unworthy of his love after her father’s suicide and subsequent degradation by others in the community. Ritcherd does all in his power to restore Kyrah’s faith in herself and their love, but just as he does, his cruel, wicked mother tears them apart.

This was so intense and heartbreaking. I couldn't put it down until I finished. I sobbed for Kyrah as she found herself alone in a new world with no one to care for her. And I cheered for Ritcherd as he cast off his doubts and fears and went after her. Best love story ever!

Finally, after endlessly searching many books in the Kindle library, I came across one that had a historical romance story without the need to include graphic, overly descriptive sex scenes on every other page! The storyline kept my attention, the characters were fun to get to know (although at times you started to wonder why so many bad things could happen to two people in one lifetime!), and the history was believable. In fact, when I finished the book, I wanted more - and will actually be purchasing the next book in the series, which I usually do not do after reading a free book!! So, thank you, Ms. Stansfield, for such a good read. I am looking forward to reading book #2!

Regardless of some other reviews, I enjoyed the hero showing his emotions... and I liked that his thoughts were shared equally. I also appreciated the author's acknowledgement of God and the power of prayers. This book had a lot of suspense. It is "historical fiction", although a little short on "real history". Overall though, it was a good "clean" romance!

I LOVE this series of books! I love that you get a view of things that are very hard to deal with that actually happen in the real world that helps people to understand, maybe even a little, what people going through in certain situations, and what might make them make the decisions they do. I love this author, and I have read every single one of her books. If you like things that are fun, adventurous, has a few twists and turns here and there, and like to learn more about social issues from the perspective of a book then this is the author for you. I love the Buchanan family and hope that as you read you will too. :)

This is the first Anita Stansfield book I have read. I downloaded it to my Kindle because it was free. I was so lucky to find a book that was well written with a setting in America during the Revolutionary War and also in Cornwall, England. I have been looking for a book that was both historical and British. The characters are so interesting and believable. Ritcherd Buchanan and Kyrah Payne follow their own paths but always share a certain spiritual bond. The narrative is at times painful when longing becomes unbearable for both of them after they are unjustly separated. I think the thing I enjoyed most about the book was the descriptive writing. Now I am left wondering what is next, which I'm sure I will have to find out in the continuing Buchanan Saga. I can hardly wait.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Hoped For
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2012

This was a free Kindle book from Amazon. I am glad it was free. The descpription sounded good, but the story was just lacking in the end. While the descriptions of the what the characters were feeling and seeing was wonderfully written, my problem was with the plot line itself. Too much time was given to how Ritcherd and Kyrah met up as children. The whole premise of falling in love at the ages of 13 and 7 is just a bit more than I can believe in. The story moves along so slowly, with so much description that I found myself scanning through paragraphs at a time to get passed it and on to parts that were actually telling me something about what was going on. While I will admit that the story kept me reading to find out if the two main characters ever do find each other, there were many questions left unanswered. I prefer my book series to be complete story lines, such as the second volume picking up with a continuation of one of the secondary characters story so that they become the main focus. This book however, as I said, leaves way too many questions about the main plot unanswered. Reading the sample of the volume 2, it seems to just pick up right where volume 1 left off. From that brief sample offering, I would think that anyone that doesn't read the first book in the series will be completely lost. I also have misgivings about investing anymore time in reading the next offering in the series, I want the plots left hanging to be finished.

In other words, I finally finished the book and was left wondering why I bothered reading it only to be left with so many unanswered questions. The answer? The author is out to make money by dragging out the same story in to three volumes to sell instead of using her creative mind to just come up with two more story lines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love is Stronger than Hate

Kyrah and Ritcherd meet as children when she is seven and he is thirteen. They spend wonderful times together as children and slowly grow up together. When Kyrah is 15, Ritcherd is called to go to war as a British soldier to fight the Colonists in America. At that point they discover that they are in love. The story takes them through the war and hard times at home for Kyrah and her mother and the difficulties they face when they lose their home. Ritcherd has a wicked self-centered mother to does everything she can to keep them apart when he returns from the war. It is a riveting love story fraught with every barricade possible to keep these young people apart.

I met Kyrah when she was seven and I
was almost 13. What a time we had together everyday. We walked and talked and grew close together. So read our story from the shires of England to the shores of America.
