"Tracie Peterson is one of my favorite authors and this series doesn't disappoint - especially since my mom was able to snag the author's signature on each one! Aside from the autograph, Tracie depicts a whole time-line of characters through the books to teach lessons from life. Her sense of what a woman needs to hear about trusting God and being a virtuous lady is uncanny and she delivers in a completely unpretentious way. I highly recommend."

“Peterson has the golden touch! This third book in her Lady of Liberty series comes alive with amazing characters, memorable scenes, and the lesson that having faith makes anything possible.”
— RT Book Reviews“Strong elements of faith and courage stand out in this inspirational romance novel...Narrator Barbara Caruso gives an outstanding performance, clearly depicting each character with an appropriate voice. This is a fascinating story to hear on audio—difficult to put aside until one learns how it all turns out.”
— AudioFile" I really loved this book. It had so much more action and drama compared to the other books. I really thought tha this one was the best one out of the whole trilogy. "
— Hannah, 2/12/2014" Love these books! They are so good! This one had a little suspense to boot! "
— Rhonda, 2/11/2014" Since I had enjoyed the first two books of this series I was really looking forward to the third. However, I was disappointed. The whole premise of the book is a pretend courtship, but the characters were starting a courtship before they even agreed to the pretend one. I would definitely not recommend reading this book after reading Denise Hunter's "A Convenient Groom" where she effectively pulls off a similar story line. "
— Jenni, 2/10/2014" A sweet, predictable story set in Phili. I don't know if I was supposed to read book #1 & 2, but I enjoyed this one regardless! "
— Laura, 2/4/2014" Women are terrible at pretending to be in love!!! they fall fast and furious :). "
— Larik, 1/18/2014" Alomost better than the first in the series! I'm not reading them in order, because they don't really relate at all. "
— Ally, 1/15/2014" This is a great novel! "
— Sara, 1/10/2014" The best of the "Ladies of Liberty" series. "
— Pattiwan, 1/3/2014" I loved this book! Actually it took me the first three or four chapters to get into the book, but after that it was great. I think it is the best of the three books in this series. I hope she writes another one just as good:) "
— Cynthia, 12/12/2013" The best of the "Ladies of Liberty" series. "
— Highland-dreamer, 11/27/2013" I liked this one the best out of the three novels. "
— Haley, 11/26/2013" This book was an enjoyable historical and inspirational romance novel. "
— Judy, 10/26/2013" I really enjoy Tracy's books and this one was no exception. A little predictble, but enjoyable. "
— Chayil, 10/24/2013" This was such a cute story! Jenny has good taste sometime! "
— Rebecca, 12/20/2012" A fun light read. I liked the theme of faith running through the book. "
— Tiffiny, 9/30/2012" I normally enjoy Tracie Peterson, but this book was a fail for me. I felt it was a redundant storyline with a few chunks of variety tossed in to make it different. Perhaps it would have been better as a novela. I enjoyed the story just not the repetition. "
— Rebecca, 8/20/2012" I didn't realize this was "inspirational" when I got it from the library. The inspirational part was actually done rather well, not unnatural at all. This book was fine; it was just to simple to be really good. "
— Megan, 2/26/2012" Favorite book I read over Christmas break. I want to read the whole rest of the series now! :-) "
— Jessie, 4/27/2011" This was nerdy, but cute. I like historical fiction, so that is why I chose it from the library. The protagonist is a lady's "companion" in 19th century Boston. Very predictable, easy read. "
— Amy, 2/27/2011" so predictable! EVERYTHING was literally right in front of your nose. "
— Debsorensenlogan, 1/12/2011" Light, clean and romantic. Right up my alley these days! "
— Abby, 6/27/2010" I mostly liked this book for the characters. I'd like to think that people can simply care about others like she does. She is also very greatful for the simple things in life. The male lead is also a very admirable character. Predictable story but fun to follow. "
— Trina, 1/18/2010" I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There was one plot twist that I wondered at, but overall, it was well written and I loved the characters. "
— Shauna, 9/17/2009" It was very a sweet story! Much better than the first! A little unrealistic though! "
— Jen, 8/5/2009" I enjoyed this book for my usual reasons (light romance and suspense), but really didn't like the unsavory "bad guy". Of course, that's the point, right? "
— Alison, 6/22/2009" Harmless and more entertaining than the other two books in this series. The writing isn't breathtaking and the plot is predictable, but it's a decent read. My biggest complaint with all the books I've read from this author is that the main character is too good to be true. "
