" Bought this recorded book at a yard sale for 50 cents. Found it interesting how Higgins tied together the American Civil War and the conflict between the English and Irish. Fitzgerald could not get a break from the fighting. "
— Diane, 11/4/2013" had a lot of potential but didn't really pan out. "
— Sheryl, 10/12/2013" This book was cheesy & fluffy. The story line had potential, but it was just harlequin-esque. The characters had potential & were well developed, all except the female - she was unbelievable as a valid character. A very light, unintelligent read. "
— Chris, 9/23/2013" Okay story but not very believable. "
