Love in the time of Hamilton...

On October 14, 1781, Alexander Hamilton led a daring assault on Yorktown's defenses and won a decisive victory in America's fight for independence. Decades later, when Eliza Hamilton collected his soldiers' stories, she discovered that while the war was won at Yorktown, the battle for love took place on many fronts...

Promised Land by Rose Lerner: Donning men's clothing, Rachel left her life behind to fight the British as Corporal Ezra Jacobsâ??but life catches up with a vengeance when she arrests an old love as a Loyalist spy. At first she thinks Nathan Mendelson hasn't changed one bit: he's annoying, he talks too much, he sticks his handsome nose where it doesn't belong, and he's self-righteously indignant just because Rachel might have faked her own death a little. She'll be lucky if he doesn't spill her secret to the entire Continental Army. Then Nathan shares a secret of his own, one that changes everything...

The Pursuit Of... by Courtney Milan: What do a Black American soldier, invalided out at Yorktown, and a British officer who deserted his post have in common? Quite a bit, actually. They attempted to kill each other the first time they met. They're liable to try again at some point in the five-hundred-mile journey that they're inexplicably sharing. They are not falling in love with each other. They are not falling in love with each other. They are...Oh no.

That Could Be Enough by Alyssa Cole: Mercy Alston knows the best thing to do with pesky feelings like "love" and "hope": avoid them at all cost. Serving as a maid to Eliza Hamilton, and an assistant in the woman's stubborn desire to preserve her late husband's legacy, has driven that point home for Mercyâ??as have her own previous heartbreaks. When Andromeda Stiel shows up at Hamilton Grange for an interview in her grandfather's stead, Mercy's resolution to live a quiet, pain-free life is tested by the beautiful, flirtatious, and entirely overwhelming dressmaker. Andromeda has staid Mercy reconsidering her worldview, but neither is prepared for loveâ??or for what happens when it's not eno… (más)

The first story is m/f. The second is m/m and interracial. The third is f/f. The book came about out of spite and post the 2016 election. It was a great story and exactly the diversity we need more of in romance! ( )

Promised Land is easily one of the best novellas ever. I'm baffled by lower marks on it, frankly, although I know I get along with Rose Lerner's style. 5 stars. To a novella? It's a second chance where a Jewish American couple reunites outside the battle of Yorktown. When they reunite, Rachel has chosen her love of country over her love of Nathan, her loquacious, slight, beautiful and annoying husband. It was quite emotional, idealistic and wonderful. It's a 5 star novella. I believe I have 2 of those of all that I've ever read. They are dirty, they are tired, they don't know how to trust each other but they really really want to.

Unfortunately, the results are descending. I loved the collection, but almost wish I'd read them separately (though I did space then well enough)

For The Pursuit Of... By Courtney Milan I give 4 stars. A remarkably upbeat sparkly little novella with trademark Milan humor and ideals. Again, Henry a British officer is loquacious, and upbeat and meets his match in John Hunter, a black man trying to make his way back to his sister. What results is a compelling philosophical journey and a really strong novella. 4*

And... That Could Be Enough

Alyssa Cole writes some of the best historicals set in the US. I often find them so jam packed with plot I feel that the romance doesn't shine as a central piece. Here, it felt weirdly stilted, brought on by insta love and progressing into the exchange of feeling. I think this needed a longer format because I enjoyed the characters but it was paced all wrong for me. 3* ( )

This book is a delight from beginning to end. All three novellas are wonderful, and I love the mix of relationships (m/m, m/f, and f/f). I picked it up more for the authors than for the Hamilton theme. Hamilton himself (or, more precisely, Eliza Hamilton's search for stories about him after his death) provides the frame for the collection, and he is a minor character in one or two of the novellas, but the draw here is the beautifully told hopeful romances set during the youth of the nation.

The theme here is that love and meaningful lives can flower and persist in the midst of difficulty and oppression. A resonant theme in any era, but most particularly in such a time as this. Highly recommended.

As Eliza Hamilton interviews everyone she can who interacted with Alexander Hamilton during his lifetime to collect his stories and cement his legacy, three stories are revealed: in "Promised Land," a Jewish woman fakes her own death and runs away to join the Union Army, but when her husband enters their camp, she believes him to be a spy. In "The Pursuit Of..." a Black Union soldier - in the company of a British deserter - leaves the army after the Battle of Yorktown to return to his family in Rhode Island, walking 500 miles home. In "That Could Be Enough," Eliza Hamilton's servant Mercy Alston, who has sworn off love, reconsiders when a beautiful dressmaker visits the Grange.

"Promised Land" by Rose Lerner (Rachel Mendelson a.k.a. Ezra Jacobs and Nathan Mendelson)

"The Pursuit Of..." by Courtney Milan (John Hunter and Henry Latham)

"That Could Be Enough" by Alyssa Cole (Mercy Alston and Andromeda Stiel) ( )

Really cool set of historical romances that play with period conceptions of gender, religion, race, & sexuality during and after the American Revolution. Rose Lerner's het romance (with a cross dressing Jewish soldier & her estranged husband) was my favorite, while Alyssa Cole's story of black lesbians falling in love and pursuing their careers in post-Revolution NYC was also GREAT. Courtney Milan is one of my favorite romance authors, and I loved her male protagonists, but I couldn't help thinking that her story was the weakest written of the bunch. Honestly, that's not so much a slight to Milan as it is an exciting endorsement of two author's I should definitely be reading more of. ( )
