But the heroine has her own issues to contend with, and will a romantic relationship be the best for both of them when they have many obstacles in their lives.

This is the third book in the Rebels with a Cause series. This historical romance also has previous characters appearing in the story, so it would be nice to read the series in order as there is not enough information provided to make this a standalone book. Both main characters in the book are strong in their own way, yet they also have flaws that appear in the story. It depends on the reader if such personality traits can be accepted without annoyance or let such traits get the best of their appreciation of those characters. It would have helped if the story gave better transition in certain areas since the story really needed them. Also, some secondary characters were not as likable as others, even if they were necessary in the story. Overall, it's a solid addition to the series, but it also needed a bit more to make it better reading.
