​Death lies on all sides...

Gettysburg. Probably the most famous battle in the Civil War, and, a name that still strikes solemnity and sadness in the heart even now over 150 years later.

I've been looking forward to My Heart Belongs In Gettysburg, Pennsylvania: Clarissa's Conflict for awhile now, first because it is an era not yet covered by the My Heart Belongs In... series, and second because this is the first book in the series written by a guy. I've read one of author Murray Pura's previous historical romances published by Barbour, which I did enjoy, but I do think I might have liked this one a little better.

​I have to admit that Clarissa's naivete and super-idealism did not endear her to me at first. I did, however, have a sneaking admiration for the elusive and enigmatic Liberty. But as the war came closer and became more real to Clarissa and her idealism became tempered by experience I did find myself starting to like her more and admire her fighting spirit. In many ways I imagine reality was a bit like this, the boys went to war expecting glory and for it to be over by Christmas but as time went on everyone became more weary and even jaded but what they went through.

Danger and romance run high in My Heart Belongs In Gettysburg, Pennsylvania: Clarissa's Conflict as Murray Pura delivers an enjoyable historical romance - with some real twists and turns - against the backdrop of America's greatest conflict.
