Review: For Love of Liberty by Julie Lessman

This prequel was so much fun to read! Griffin McShane and Liberty O’Shea had plenty of hard headedness between the two of them, yet were characters I couldn’t help but like. The author did a good job of creating a backstory for them that helped me truly feel the frustration that they both carried for the other. Hurts from the past tangled with attraction that was always simmering under the surface.

Whether battling for control over the upcoming Independence Day festivities or battling their growing passions for each other, I just had to know what would happen next! For Love of Liberty was a great blend of fun, vexation, and attraction. I’m looking forward to reading the upcoming books in this series.
