between the rock and the cold, cold sea

What does it say about me that my reaction is YES THAT THANK YOU?

That you are a person of great good taste and discernment? *g*

May I ask?

Sure, but honestly, it's a bad-but-entertaining romance, scattered in pacing and only unevenly coherent. Tropetastic mess points include:

1. Confederate woman's family doesn't own slaves, sees war not about slavery as much as North bullying the South;

2. Union woman encounters Conderate woman's brother and father as prisoners of war; brother escapes swearing revenge;

3. Confederate woman has local Asshole Gentleman who wants to marry or rape her;

4. Confederate woman pretty much falls in love (lust?) with Union woman at first sight;

5. Union woman saves Confederate woman from Union deserters;

6. Union woman is shot by Confederate woman's brother, resulting in:

7. Confederate woman discovers Union woman's gender, remains in lust;

8. People have sex in a hayloft shortly after having been shot in the chest;

9. Novel doesn't conclude as much as end with Union woman deserting to stay with Confederate woman, because True Love trumps all else?

...I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention after the enthusiastic hayloft-post-chest-wound-sex.
