Historical Romance
A Rebel Heart
Daughtry House book 1
by Beth White
-From Amazon- Five years after the final shot was fired in the War Between the States, Selah Daughtry can barely manage to keep herself, her two younger sisters, and their spinster cousin fed and clothed. With their family's Mississippi plantation swamped by debt and the Big House falling down around them, the only option seems to be giving up their ancestral land. Pinkerton agent and former Union cavalryman Levi Riggins is investigating a series of robberies and sabotage linked to the impoverished Daughtry plantation. Posing as a hotel management agent for the railroad, he tells Selah he'll help her save her home, but only if it is converted into a hotel. With Selah otherwise engaged with renovations, Levi moves onto the property to "supervise" while he actually attends to his real assignment right under her nose. Selah isn't sure she entirely trusts the handsome Yankee, but she'd do almost anything to save her home. What she never expected to encounter was his assault on her heart.

As in her previous series, this book, A Rebel Heart, again features fascinating and little known history set in locations so many readers are either familiar with or have at least heard of, all wrapped in an entertaining story that leaves you realizing at the end just how much you really did learn. Beth White's attention to historical detail is one of her strengths and one of the best parts of her stories.
A Rebel Heart was a great start to a series that I am looking forward to reading more of. Selah, Levi, and the others were some of the most lively characters and quite captured my imagination. If you liked to be equally entertained while learning something new you should really check out Beth White's new book and series.
