The war for American freedom is over, and the British have gone back to England. Not knowing what has become of his family since he was forced into the Continental Army nine years earlier, Myles Cunningham wants to go home as well. He returns to the Mohawk Valley with the understanding that he is believed to have been shot for deserting—fiction that might be made real if anyone recognizes him as the son of a Tory and a King's Ranger.
Everything is wonderful in the growing community along the Mohawk River, except Nora Reid is still alone. With her brother happily settled and both her younger sisters starting families of their own, Nora feels the weight of her twenty-four years. A long walk leads her to the overgrown rubble of the Cunningham homestead where a bearded stranger begins to awaken feelings she'd lost hope of ever experiencing.
With secrets abounding—including whether Myles even cares for her—Nora must determine what she is ready to give up and how far she will go to secure his affections. She begins to break through his defenses, but Myles can't risk staying. Not if he loves her.
MY THOUGHTS:
I do enjoy a Angela K. Couch novel. "The return of The King's Ranger" is so deeply woven with hardship, dealing with the past, trust, forbidden love and most of all forgiveness of others and forgiveness of one's own self is ingrained within these pages.
Nora wonders if she'll ever find true love. Will she be destined to care for her parents or will she have a family of her own? Myles fights his own battles from the past trying to move forward only to find himself taking 3 steps forward and 2 steps back.
Friends and family opinions war within both Nora and Myles. Who will they listen too?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! You will too!
Blessings,
Karen
