#1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsay presents
a powerfully romantic Regency-era tale that is breathtaking in scope
and wondrously passionate.
When Sebastian Townshend, son of the eighth Earl of Edgewood, was banished from his family due to the tragic results of a duel, he vowed never to return to England. Now living on the continent, Sebastian has forged a new identity as a deadly mercenary, The Raven. But his former neighbor, Lady Margaret Landor, has different plans for him. Back in England, Sebastian's father has had several accidents and Margaret suspects foul play and deception that reach as far back as the infamous duel. Convinced that only Sebastian can set the situation to rights, Margaret arranges a scandalous bargain with him that includes Sebastian's returning home as her husband. As the newlyweds uncover a deadly scheme, a fierce passion blossoms between them, which neither anticipated -- and neither can resist.

Summary: Not my cup of tea, but a real classic.
Comment: This is a classic that I should have read much earlier in life, but it was only recommended to me now. I think there are a lot of good lessons for children in it: such as how if you make a plan and stick to it, you can accomplish whatever you dream to accomplish. It teaches about the bond between canines and humans, and delves into how rewarding that can be.
Rawls style reminds me a little of Twain. He writes from the boy's point of view and he stays true to the characterization. You never forget while reading that the story is being told by a youngster. At times, I found that a bit tedious, but I'll bet that if I had read it as a youngster, at the age it was intended for, I'd have found that extremely endearing.
The story has moments of real drama and excitement. Even though the subject matter of coon hunting did not appeal to me in the least, (and I abhor the fur trade) I kept reading, because the story was both compelling and exciting, and Billy's two little dogs were intriguing little characters.

Summary: BEST BOOK EVER!!!
Comment: I have been an avid reader for most of my 59 years, but I STILL say
that this is my FAVORITE book of ALL TIME...no matter what genre...
It matters not that it is "recommended" for 9-12 year olds, if YOU
have not discovered this wonderful story, then you must! So many of
us can identify with Billy, the young boy, reared during a time
of great poverty, and his love and devotion to his two pups and the
adventures and lessons they brought into his life. Believe me,
this is NOT just for children, and if you have any time to reminisce,
get this book and read it...absorb it, enjoy it...A true walk down
Memory Lane. Relish the good things while you can, and THIS ONE
is a "Good Thing!"

Summary: Boy and his dogs
Comment: I used to read this book over and over again as a child and it's sad that I went for so many years without touching it! Upon rereading I was swept away to the backwoods South in a boyhood adventure of hunting, childhood, and friendship.
On the surface it appears to be the usual boy-and-dog story, but it is so much more gripping as it explores Billy's relationship with the world around him as he grows up in a classic coming-of-age scenario.
It's fun, gripping writing full of personality and passion for the South and its characters, and full of such honest emotion it will blow you away.

Summary: Wonderful story for adults and children of all ages
Comment: I have just finished this book.
Wilson Rawls has written a timeless classic that will entertain and delight readers of all ages. I wish I had read this story earlier.
Wilson Rawls could have been the second coming of Homer.
The religious theme was quite interesting.
