A great read...with mystery and adventure and, yes, romance. Quinn's fans will be grateful she's crossed the pond for this textured look at life in New York during the 1770s. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on The Girl with the Make-Believe Husband Quinn's sprightly dialogue, colorful descriptions, quick pace and emotionally touching storyline are just what readers expect from this consummate storyteller. -- RT Book Reviews on The Girl with the Make-Believe Husband The Girl with the Make-Believe Husband was an absolute treat. A historical romance written not in the Regency era but during the American Revolutionary War, this had a mix of poignant moments one would expect during such a tumultuous time along with the sweeping, heartwarming feeling of falling in love. -- Harlequin Junkie The novel has a well-constructed plot, well-drawn characters, and vivid dialog...Imaginative...The author maintains the tension of the undiscovered lie almost to the end, and the denouement is both amusing and satisfying. -- Historical Novel Society on The Girl with the Make-Believe Husband
