    Excellent reading!

    The Civil War had ended. Union soldier, Gabriel Davis, had been returning to his home in Ohio. He was traveling on a steamboat called The Sultana. The boat was extremely over crowded and the boiler was only patched together. He had his own worries and never dreamed he would be helping a young lady with her troubles. <BR><BR> Yvette Augeron was on the run. She needed to reach her uncle, an attorney, who was the only one she believed could help her. Union Captain Darien Russell accused Yvette of murdering her sister, Marie, and Lieutenant Simonton. In truth, Darien had murdered them and framed Yvette. Darien was determined to see Yvette hang. However, he had to catch her first! She had proof of his guilt in robbing wealthy Creole families and killing the two people because they knew the truth. Darien followed her on board the Sultana and slowly began hunting her. <BR><BR> ***** This book sure is titled correctly! It caught me quickly and held on tightly! Excellent in historical details surrounding the Sultana and the plight of many Union prisoners-of-war as they returned to the North. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and highly recommend it!

    All Odds Turns

    'Against All Odds' was a terrific book. Gwyneth Atlee really knows how to get your blood pumping. A non-stop page-turner. Will have your eyes glued to the pages until it's done. Gwyneth was really able to catch the Yankee mood. With non-stop twists and turns. But you have to remember that when you read this book, have no assumptions, and remember everything. The ending will come off as quite a shocker. This book is totally riveting. I recommend this book to the older crowd.

    Unique and Fascinating

    A truly gifted storyteller, Atlee is quickly gaining a sterling reputation for turning out fascinating and unusual historical romances. However, 'Against The Odds' is not simply a romance, but a well-researched and presented history lesson conveying endless sensitivity and humanity.
