Rebel

This is probably one of my favorite Heather Graham books. Of course this is book #3 and I read it first....I like that both Ian and Alaina have their own views and are firm in their beliefs. Most women would have stood by their man without voicing their own opinions and not said a word. Both Ian and Alaina fought their own personal battles the way they chose to and in the end came together. I loved Julian in this book. I thought he provided some much needed comical relief at times. I couldn't wait to read the rest of the series.

"Rebel" spins the story of Ian McKenzie and Alaina. Although not as much spice as "Captive," I enjoyed this book too.Alaina was a tough and spirited Southerner loyal to the cause and Ian chose to join the Union's side. Although their views were different, their paths crossed and their lives were changed forever when they were caught "in the wrong place at the wrong time."Ian and Alaina are wedded and not in love at first, but as time passes, their love grows. However, where there is love, sometimes the pain comes along as well. Their love is no exception, especially during this time of war. Through it all, their love has to stand the test of time, war, betrayal, jealousy, as well as many other obstacles. Both Ian and Alaina have others in their lives vying for their love and to destroy the love that is shared between them. Will Ian and Alaina's new found love be enough to suffice and keep them together through the hardships they must endure? "Rebel" is worth reading to find out what is in store for these two courageous individuals.

Rebel is awsome, full of suspence and true to the era of the Civil War. They met awkwardly, they live awkwardly and they are in love until the start of the war. She becomes a sworn Rebel and he a known Yankee. They go head to head when they meet. And while waiting for his return she becomes a spy no none can stop. No one Except... A truly well written novel about life and events surrounding the war.

This book was awesome! I am truely interested in the history of the civil war and that is what drew me to the book! I was suprised to see that Heather Graham included much of our countries history and emotions that were true to the era. Ian and Aliana are perfect for one another, regardless of the way they came together. The story continued to drew me in as a reader. Heather spared no words in descriptions throughout the book and made it come alive! I am currently reading the next in the series and Surrender is hard to put down too!

I had read COME THE MORNING, under her penname of Shannon Drake, and thought it trite and empty. but REBEL was different. vibrant and full of electricity between the two heroes, it drew my attention and warmed my heart.Alaina McMann, the vivacious, fiercely Southern daughter of a botantist in Civil War era Florida, is caught in a compromising situation with Ian McKenzie, a union sympathizer. They wed hastily and the marriage progressed smoothly ewnough from there, Alaina the reluctant young bride and ian the determined husband. But what could be a glorius union of hearts is threatened by their strong, opposing views. ian goes to fight for the Union, and Alaina begins participating in a covert smuggling ring for the Confederacy under the name of Mocassin. but when ian finds out, can he hang his wife, the spy? We all yearn for the answer! Read this wonderful romance and find out. The characters are believable (although ian is definitely one of the randiest heros I've encountered) and the circumstances are understandable, too. Enjoy!
