An Enemy Among Them

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes an old fashioned, romance
novel. The novel is about Margaret and Christian, who fall in love. But
both countries they are from are at war together. I liked this book because
it has a small amount of romance and action scenes like in Christian's point
of view at the Battle of Brandywine. At the Battle of Brandywine, the Hessians
were in battle against the Rebels. Christian had gotten lunged at with a
gun, and Christian had to stab him. I also like this book because it was
historical fiction. It took place during the Revolutionary War. At times,
oridinary fiction can get out of hand, while this novel did not. The author
used decriptive words, and it seemed like I was actually there. I liked
the choice of events the author used like when Christian had killed a friend
to save Margaret. This story is for people who like romance but not a whole
big deal of it. My favorite part of the novel is when Christian had killed
his so called friend. The man pointed the gun at Margaret and demanded information
about Hessian army plans. Christian refused to discuss. Christian jumped
and pointed behind the man at nothing to startle and frighten him. Then
he jumped on the man and struggled on the ground for the gun. Christian
retrieved it and shot him. This part was very exciting. I think everyone
should read this classy romance novel.
