An Uncommon Woman

About:
Unflinching and plainspoken, Tessa Swan is not your typical 18th-century woman. Born and bred on the western Virginia frontier along with her five brothers, she is a force to be reckoned with.
Quiet and courageous, Clay Tygart is not your typical 18th-century man. Raised by Lenape Indians, he returns a hero from the French and Indian War to the fort that bears his name, bringing with him Tessa's long-lost friend, Keturah, a redeemed Indian captive like himself.
Determined to avoid any romantic entanglements as fort commander, Clay remains aloof whenever he encounters the lovely Tessa. But when she is taken captive by the tribe Clay left, his hand--and heart--are forced, leading to one very private and one very public reckoning.
Intense, evocative, and laced with intricate historical details that bring the past to life, An Uncommon Woman will transport you to the picturesque and dangerous western Virginia mountains of 1770.

My Thoughts:
AMAZING!
And, I'm sad it's over... Laura Frantz wrote a beautiful book in An Uncommon Woman! From the opening of this book, her story comes alive. The romance in this book between Tessa and Clay builds like bubbles and then bursts forth. I love the character development of both of these two. Both of them are a complete match for one another. Yet, the loss experienced by them, is uncanning. The reader will feel it or at least, I did. The tension, action and tender moments makes this book a wonderful reading journey from the beginning till the end. This is a book that I was sad to finished, yet excited to continue to read. AHH!
This is a book I will read again! I highly recommend you picking up a copy today!
