A great book featuring our Revolutionary history. The romance is a perfect backdrop to see the emotions and relations that happened during this historical time.

A perfect historical fiction book enriched with details about the historical setting bound to capture the attention and appreciation of anyone who loves history as much as the author clearly does!

Despite the detail the story never got boring - the writing style is simple yet woven beautifully,the characters fleshed out really well with complex personalities and problems and the plot while not fast moving is bound to keep one at the edge of their sit. The romance was also a delight to read! I adored this so much!!!

I enjoyed this historical fiction account of The Revolutionary War. Daughter of Liberty by J.M. Hochstetler includes history, romance, action, and. suspense. Thank you #netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

In this fascinating, high-stakes historical fiction novel, the American Revolution is heating up in 1775 Boston. As British soldiers -- namely the dashing rogue Jonathan Carleton, a British officer -- moves in with her family, Elizabeth Howard’s rebellious activities (and those of her family and close friends) become much harder to carry out especially because Elizabeth is the daring rebel courier Oriole. As tensions rise and come to a head, Elizabeth, along with her family and Officer Carleton, have to make some difficult decisions about love, loyalty, and picking a side in the war. Hochstetler’s characters, especially Elizabeth and Carleton, are wonderfully written with dynamic, complex backstories, motivations, and secrets, while the many relationships and loyalties of these characters add to their personalities and activities in the pages of this enjoyable historical fiction novel. The setting of 1775 Boston, too, is particularly enjoyable as it focuses on the leadup to the more popular chronological setting of 1776 and the more publicized elements of the American Revolution; focusing on the buildup allows Hochstetler to create some fascinating characters and conflicts set in and around Boston and the Revolution. Daughter of Liberty is a fascinating, fun, high-stakes historical fiction novel fans of the genre are sure to enjoy.

Where does your loyalty lie? With the rebels or His Majesty? This story brings to life to story before the American Revolution. I loved the character growth and how the main couple of the story are brought together. Will they admit their feelings for each other? Will they make it through the fighting and war?
This book was a little slow to read through but I am glad I read it completely.

This was a great start to the series. I love finding historical fiction set during the American Revolution.. It doesn't seem like there is a lot out there.

I received this from Netgalley.com.

Packed full of historical events and people with a little romance thrown in, I look forward to continuing this American Revolutionary series.

3.5☆

If The Scarlet Pimpernel was reborn as a novel of the American revolution, it would be this book.

Spies, intrigue, nocturnal adventuring, and romance, set against the backdrop of pivotal Revolutionary War sites, such as the infamous battle of Bunker Hill.

J.M. Hochstetler is clearly an avid historian, and it shows in her meticulous attention to detail. If the book had one major weakness for me, it was actually the detail, specifically the lengthy descriptions of battles. I confess I skimmed those. The vivid descriptions of 1770s Boston and surrounding towns was really interesting, however, and had me doing extra research on the side.

Great characters, including and especially the two main characters, Elizabeth and Jonathan. I’ve always been a sucker for stories of women disguising themselves to venture into ‘man territory’ undiscovered, and the historical basis for these women grabs me as much as the fictional.

It was quite a bit more faith-heavy than other Christian fiction I’ve read, so if that’s not your thing, heads up.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.
