The second book in The Reardon Brothers Series introduces you to Noah, a lawyer who has sworn off women. Then along comes Jessica and what can he do but save her from her father and take her back to her unknowing family in Baltimore. Dianna Crawford does a great job of showing you the differences between frontier life and "high society" in the late 1700's through Jessica's eyes. You will love Noah's honor and his quest to bring Jessica happiness, and cheer when Jessica realizes where her heart truely lies. You will also look at salt with new appreciation!I have enjoyed many of this author's books and this is a wonderful follow up to the first in the series, Freedom's Promise.
