Southern Romance #3
Freedom Forever
With Jasper and Cecelia returned, and Solomon cleared of treason for his actions during the war, life at Dalton Farm has almost returned to normal. Of course, there’s the small matter of Cecelia’s pregnancy, and her engagement to Abraham Thompson, the reverend’s son. In Solomon’s eyes, all is as it should be, and the pair will be married quickly to avoid any gossip. But Clara, who has endured her own unhappy engagement, sees sadness in Cecelia’s eyes…
On the night of her wedding to Jasper, seeing Cecelia and Abraham bicker, Clara begs for the truth. She promises her sister that no matter what comes, she will protect her sister—and she speaks, as only she can, of the importance of being true to one’s heart.
But Cecelia is hiding more than Clara knows. Should she break the engagement and tell the truth, the reputation of the entire family is at stake, and no matter the cost to herself, Cecelia is determined to protect her family…

Cecelia had long lurked and stood behind her sister's shadows, never getting the attention she so fervently hoped for. But all was well with her, she wasn't envious or jealous at all. When finally somebody expressed his desire for her, Cecelia was quite hopeful, she thought, finally she was loved because of who she was, and not because of her affiliation with her siblings.
Alexander Thompson liked a woman who was hard to get. He wanted to do the chasing, and with Cecelia, he believed she was a fruit ripe for the picking. He declared his love for her, even asked for her hand in marriage, but there was this other man Cecelia had her sights on. There was Isaiah Rourke, a stable boy but with the pureness of heart. Both men wanted her, but only one had her heart.
Rumors of deceits on Mr. Thompson and threats on Cecelia's had resulted to a haste decision and a big mistake. Just when Cecelia had finally learned who she really wanted, she ended agreeing to marry the man she so despised in the end.
This third book in the Civil War/Southern Romances is probably my favorite. Freedom Forever is about Cecelia and her quest for true love after her brothers and sisters had found their own. I wouldn't say she was envious, but I know how she felt being left alone and unwanted.
They say, when you're hurt and angry, do not make sudden decisions, because you will regret the outcome sooner or letter and will get you devastating results. Never make a deal with the devil, never succumb to threats and slander. Those are just some of the things I've learned from this book. It was such an engaging and romantic read (and yes, very sexy and erotic, too). Plus, there's a bonus! A spy within their midst and a lady enforcer wearing breeches. That's what made this story really entertaining from start to finish. Thumbs up for Lexy Timms for another successful book in the series! Couldn't wait to see what happens next!

In Civil War era Pennsylvania, Cecilia, sister of the heroine in book 1 of the series, is pregnant and betrothed, but not happy.
Read/listen in series order. This is book 3 of 4.
This book's timeline overlaps that of book 1 in the series, but told from Cecilia's perspective, but timeline is not linear with many flashbacks.
I am binging this series. The narrator is very good. But, for me, narration would have been better with more convincing female voices and more distinct character differences.

The ending was a surprise, but this third book was a bit behind the second book in places. Love the Violet character.

I listened to this book on Audible— at an increased speed for my preference.
This book could have been book 2 or even book one. Most of the book takes place before book one. And while I understand that it’s being “remembered”, it just felt out of place to me.
As I’ve stated before, this entire series could have been one book, and this book would have been early in the book!
