Resumen del Editor

Unflinching and plainspoken, Tessa Swan is not your typical 18th-century woman. Born and bred on the Western Virginia frontier along with her five brothers, she is a force to be reckoned with.

Quiet and courageous, Clay Tygart is not your typical 18th-century man. Raised by Lenape Indians, he returns a hero from the French and Indian War to the fort that bears his name, bringing with him Tessa's long-lost friend, Keturah, a redeemed Indian captive like himself.

Determined to avoid any romantic entanglements as fort commander, Clay remains aloof whenever he encounters the lovely Tessa. But when she is taken captive by the tribe Clay left, his hand - and heart - are forced, leading to one very private and one very public reckoning.

Intense, evocative, and laced with intricate historical details that bring the past to life, An Uncommon Woman will transport you to the picturesque and dangerous Western Virginia mountains of 1770.

Another amazing story during the 1700’s during the time of the settlers and Daniel Boone. Laura’s story have so much history and her research is impeccable. The narrator has so much expressive voices you can picture being there.

This book 📖, along with all of Laura Frantz’s books 📚 are Excellent! The narration by Aimee Lilly is perfect for this book. I thoroughly enjoyed learning so much about the culture & history of the area during this time period in history. It opened up a partial understanding of what the Indians and the white settlers had to endure. The author paints a beautiful picture with words of the area, the characters, their emotions and passions. Laura Frantz books are among my favorites. I hope that Laura Frantz continues to write many more wonderful books like “An Uncommon Woman” with Aimee Lilly narrating them. 📚📖

Such an amazing story!
Tessa's life has always known danger, she longs for peace.

Matchmaking Great Aunt Hester was a wonderful character as was Maddie ❤️

Excellent

Loved the story and the narrator! She carried the accents well. I'll be looking for author's other books as well!

SO GOOD!!!!

I love Laura Frantz books & Aimee Lilly did a great job narrating!! I can’t wait for more books!

Historical Fiction at it's best

Kept my husband and me intrigued til the end. That's saying something. Is book 2 coming out?

Wonderfully done. I felt like I was there.

This is a dramatic portrait of the heartache and hardships endured by the early settlers in Virginia Indian territory. The Swan family struggles to maintain their homestead and keep the family safe from attacks, kidnappings, or worse. Nearby Fort Tygart, run by Colonel Clayton Tygart is their only refuge.

Part history, part adventure, part love story, this is a wonderful story of faith, friendship, and perseverance during wild, adventurous time in the history of America. History buffs, in particular, will enjoy this story.

I listened to the audio version and narrator, Aimee Lilly, did a wonderful job with the many characters in this story. A real delight to listen to.

A Courtship to be Admired ❤️

An Uncommon Woman was a breath of fresh air as far as romance novels go. It was the perfect balance of love, suspense, friendship, faith, and adventure as the characters over come the hardships of Frontier life.

Tessa and Clay are relatable and give a picture of what finding a life partner should look like.

Aimee Lilly did a fantastic job of capturing the voice of each character.

If you are looking for a historical romantic novel that doesn’t make you cringe from reading gaudy, scandalous, and over sexualized prose, look no further.

I’m looking forward to reading/listening to more by Laura Frantz!

Solid romance and sound history

The author has a wonderful grasp of history but it doesn't side track her from a sweet romance. It just enhances the story. As a history teacher myself, I can appreciate the research involved. Sometimes historical authors don't make the best romance authors, but Laura Frantz's characters had you rooting for them from the beginning. I thought their romance was genuine and sweet.

An amazing story

I have listened to this book over and over. So many characters left to be explored
