Strong story
The characters are interesting. The story flows two families for multiple years as they navigate the politics leading up to the American Civil War. There's a grittiness to the characters, particularly Ashton. This book is not for those who dislike authors who head hop. Excellent narration.

Not what I Expected, Yet Ended Up Even Better!
So, I thoight this was a romance story sort of like Pride & Predudice. At first I was sad that the story wasn't going the way I expected, but out of nowhere I got swept into a sweeping saga of two families. I have eaten up the first two books and can listen to the story for 12hrs a day without getting bored. It's not a romance, it's a gritty, eye opening story about families, friends and the ties that bind them regardless of political views. I highly recommend it! There is love, adventure, heartbreak and happiness in this amazing 45 hr story.
