4 1/2 Stars and TOP PICK from Romantic Times!
"The frontiers of Pennsylvania are not for the faint of heart, as Mara Dupré and her husband of five years, Emile, discover. Mara, whose parents are dead and whose brother, Gideon, is serving in the English army, married Emile so she would not be alone. But when a French raiding party led by Jacques Corbeau kills Emile, Mara becomes Jacques's captive... Jacques and Mara travel to Quebec after the destruction of Fort Duquesne, and their journey quickly becomes more than just escape. It is a time of discovery, love, healing, growth, forgiveness and sacrifice for the greater good. Though this is not a favorite time period of mine, I was captivated and read Ms McLaughlin's tale in one sitting. The characters are believable and well drawn, the research is impeccable and the description of the pristine wilderness breathtaking." –-Deborah Brent, Romantic Times
”ROGUE'S HOSTAGE is a fantastic journey!
From the wilds of frontier America to the bustling streets of old Quebec City, Ms. McLaughlin pens a tale so gripping that I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. War is a bloody topic, but the author conveyed its intensity without gory details. Historically, this story gives readers another side of the French and Indian War, a side that shows how horrifying it was for the people. Excellent research and well-drawn characters are the high points of this incredible novel.
Reminiscent of THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS but with an even more personal touch, ROGUE'S HOSTAGE is a must read book for lovers of adventure and romance.” --Jani Brooks, Romance Reviews Today
