the turncoat renegades of the revolution

If I did enjoy this, I would be reading erotica or something. I like to read about history and real events that actually happened, not sex.

I hate books like this because it makes it feel like it’s for the more romantically inclined. I could really care less about what happens in the bedroom with the characters in a book and actually prefer an subtle suggestion, but definitely not any details. Sure, I am a reader who enjoys somewhat a good love story, but this one was way over the top. Sure the main gist of the book was good, if not a little reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet with all the ‘star-crossed lovers’ mess, but the overwhelmingly graphic sex scenes that occurred quite frequently were enough to put me off this book. With more than graphic scenes of rape and sex, it most definitely wasn’t my idea of a good read. I was expecting this one to be more focused on the spy network between the English and the Americans in the Revolutionary War, but this one was steeped in gaudy romance. So when I had a chance to read this book, I was excited. I tend to read a lot of British and European history, but one of my favorite periods in American history is the American Revolution. And so begins their dangerous dance, between passion and patriotism, between certain death and the promise of a brave new future together.’ Worse, the glamorous woman in the midst of this social whirl, the fiancee of his own dissolute cousin, is none other than Kate Grey herself. Nor does he relish the glittering entertainments being held for General Howe’s idle officers. Months later, having narrowly escaped court martial and hanging, Tremayne returns to decadent, British-occupied Philadelphia with no stomach for his current assignment–to capture the woman he believes betrayed him.

Painfully awakened to the risks of war, Kate determines to put duty ahead of desire, and offers General Washington her services as an undercover agent in the City of Brotherly Love. She is on the verge of surrender when a spy in her own household seizes the opportunity to steal the military dispatches Tremayne carries, ensuring his disgrace–and implicating Kate in high treason. Major Lord Peter Tremayne is the last man rebel bluestocking Kate Grey should fall in love with, but when the handsome British viscount commandeers her home, Kate throws caution to the wind and responds to his seduction. They can trust no one–especially not each other.

‘They are lovers on opposites sides of a brutal war, with everything at stake and no possibility of retreat.
