Fallen

I could not put this book down once I started it; I read it in less then a day-- it was excellent. I loved the heroine and the hero-- I thought that the plot was well written--I did not get 'lost' anytime while reading this book- I was able to follow easily the story from start to finish without any struggles. I could not put the book down for any length of time as I wanted to know what was going to happen next with the main characters. If you are searching for a good historical romance book to read, read this one! It does not disappoint.

Fallen is just one of those books that you can't put down...LOVED IT! 5 stars*****I have read all the books in the Wind series, and this book tops them !

In 1773 British Captain John Murray and Scottish lass Isobel Ferguson fall in love. However, both understand love is not enough as their backgrounds prevent anything but an unattainable dream. Her family rejects the Sassenach believing strongly he is part of an occupying force. However, all hell breaks loose when Isobel's siblings attempt to free their father from jail. Needing a scapegoat, the English leadership feel they have the perfect fall guy. John because of his caring for Isobel is held culpable, demoted and exiled to the colonies. At the same the Ferguson family is sold into indentured servitude in the Virginia colony. They do not meet again until another war, like the one back home, heats up the American colonies. Putting aside the entertaining "wind" historical romances, Cindy Holby provides a fun late eighteenth century romance that takes place on both sides of the Atlantic. John and Isobel are star-crossed lovers with no hope for a future together until they meet up for a second chance at love in America where freedom encourages them to pursue their relationship. Fans will enjoy the aptly titled FALLEN as the lead couple fall into love but also fall into enforced exile. Harriet Klausner
