"With just the right mix of down home humor, a bit of drama and a smackle of good old-fashioned tear jerking, Lisa Plumley comes up with a winner with her latest historical release, The Scoundrel. Ms. Plumley has such a great sense of timing and way with dialogue; the sparring between Daniel and Sarah, as well as Sarah and her family-which includes her suffragette sister, Grace, whose own story I can't wait to see in print-was an absolute delight to observe!"
