Who should come to mind?
So. We have a very popular local author here in Culpeper. She has self-published a book "about" the Civil War, a historical romance, fictitious, that has very good reviews on Amazon. Otoh, to talk to a few of the more cynical locals, I'm told that it is very dry, and more fictitious than historical. I have not read the book myself, but I have read the synopsis, and it doesn't sound like something that would appeal to me. The story is about how a spunky Southern belle falls in love with a Northern officer.
Still, having not read the book, I shouldn't pass judgment. And Culpeper did change hands several times during the course of the Civil War.
However, I was reading some of the Amazon user reviews. One of the less favorable reviews said the reader stopped reading when "the incredible young heroine meets the 6'2" hero . . . "
My first thought?
"Oooh! Jensen!"
Followed by imaginings of Jensen in a Union uniform.
Yeah.
(I have long thought that Jensen and Jared would look great in period costuming, and in my head, I always put Jensen in blue and Jared in gray.)
If I keep Jensen in mind as the hero of the story, maybe I could convince myself to read it.
