Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I hope you’re all enjoying
food, family and fun today.
Hi, everyone! Catherine Castle here, with a Thanksgiving treat in the form of a new book for you to enjoy. If you
like Civil War romance, you won’t want to miss Sandra Merville Hart’s most
recent book, A Musket in My Hands.
Have you ever
wondered what it would be like to be in a man’s army during a time when women
weren’t allowed to go to war? How would you hide your gender? How could you
live side by side men in rough conditions? How long could you keep up the
charade? Author Sandra Merville Hart pursues the answers to this question in
her newest Civil War Romance book, A
Musket in My Hands.
A Musket in My Hand is the third book in Sandra’s Civil War Romance
Series. I’ve read them all, and this book, like the others, doesn’t disappoint.
Sandra has a gentle style that is easy to read. I got caught up in the story
and finished the book in two sittings. The book is filled interesting
historical information seamlessly woven into the story. The frontline battle
scenes are exciting but not graphic. There was also an unexpected twist at the
end of the story that I did not see coming. As a writer, I look for red
herrings, foreshadowing and other plot devices, so it’s not easy to surprise
me. When that happens it’s great fun for me.
A Musket in My Hands
By Sandra Merville Hart
Callie Jennings reels from
her pa's demand that she marry his friend, a man older than him. Her heart
belongs to her soldier hero, Zach. Pa won't change his mind, and Callie has
nowhere else to go. Then her sister, Louisa, proposes a shocking alternative.
Zach Pearson still hears his pa's scornful word — quitter. He's determined to make something of himself as a soldier. He'll serve the Confederacy until they win the war. If they win the war.
Callie and Louisa disguise themselves as soldiers and muster into the Confederate army in the fall of 1864. Times are tough and getting tougher for their Confederacy. For Callie, shooting anyone, especially former countrymen, is out of the question — until truth and love and honor come together on the battlefield.

ReplyDeleteHope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteA Musket in My Hands sounds interesting. I know I read another book with a woman diguised as a man and went to war until she was discovered and sent home.
I am a big fan of the Civil War but I've missed reading these books. Thanks for sharing!
