An Uncommon Woman Review
My Review
The undisputed Queen of frontier romance has done it again. Transporting us back in to time where things were a little uncivilized but the heart of people were the same. Same hopes,dreams,longings and fears we face today.
The plot is richly descriptive and your imagination will flow with this one as you become immersed in the story line. The characters are as resilient as the land they dwell upon
full of life,dreams and charm. This early American historical is remarkable and Laura Frantz's
best work to date. Highly recommended!

GoodReads Summary
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.
