We once again return to the Montgomery family this time we are treated to Alex Montgomery. The youngest son of Sayer Montogmery.

When the town of Warbrooke is under attack by a greedy man married to Alex's sister he is called home along with his brothers. However, Alex is the only one who returns.

I loved this book because it was so much fun watching Alex try to balance dual roles. One as the dashing Raider and one as an overweight, whiney man. What Alex thought would be a great joke turns into a battle between dual personalities that begins to cause Alex a lot of trouble. I kept thinking of Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire. It had me in stitches as Alex tried to balance the two personalities.

Then add Jessica Taggert to the mix and Alex had even more trouble. Between his growing feelings for Jessica and trying to keep her safe. I liked that Jessica slowly began to learn there is more to a person than courage and looks. I thought that she really began to learn that Alex's dress as an overweight man meant more to her than a quick tumble with a handsome man who she barely knew.

The adventures in this book were fun and I love that people were so good at keeping secrets like Jessica's sister and Jessica's young brother and Sayer Alex's father.

Overall another wonderful book by Jude Deveraux.

A good story of early America (state of Maine) and how feelings were with England was trying to control what the American did and how they had to pay levies on material they bought - Story is about a son who comes home to see what troubles his family in the small town. About one man who tries to play to roles(both in love with the same women) and tries to keep her and him out of getting hung. Good summer reading
