Product Description
Widowed, pregnant, and with acres of crops to plant, Rachel Irons is determined to save her farm. When fate sends her an extra pair of hands in the form of a handsome rebel soldier, she's willing to risk the danger of harboring the enemy. And William Chancellor is willing to work her fields in return for her silence. But it will take every ounce of Rachel's tenacity to remember that this gentlemanly man with the warm-honey Virginia drawl is the enemy--and her heart loses the battle as soon as it begins.
Though this man she calls Chance finds himself both moved and aroused by Rachel's strength and simple beauty, his honor demands that he uphold a blood vow he made long before he ever set eyes on her. But Rachel is a fighter, too, and giving up Chance is a surrender she vows never to make--even as his presence puts her own life in peril. . . .

Eh,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rachel's Choice (Mass Market Paperback)
Well, this book is okay. Because of the glowing reviews, I was excited to read "Rachel's Choice." The plot is very good with some interesting twists. However, I'm tired of reading romance novels where the man sweeps in and saves the day for the woman. I'm also tired of reading "sex scenes" that are along the lines of "he took her again and again." Be real. Plus the historical aspect isn't very realistic. I get tired of all Southerners in romance books not believing in slavery/not owning slaves, lets be real, if this Chance fellow (crative name) was a calvary officer, then he had to provide his own horse, meaning he owned property and, undoubtedly, slaves. This book has good imagry and discriptions of rural life, but it's not much of a historical romance novel, unless romance has suddenly come to mean sex that involves throbing hardness on the riverbank. Also, I found it to be slightly homophobic in one part.

This review is from: Rachel's Choice (Mass Market Paperback)
Having read hundreds of romance novels, Galbadon to ones such as this, it becomes easier to rate them and harder to find a great one! Rachel's Choice is about average for writing style, character development and sensuality. The part of the plot that is hard to believe is the ending. A confederate from Virginia moving seamlessly into a Philadelphia law practice days after the end of the war is not believable--even with the advantage of great wealth--then going on to Congress!!
