Wylie’s debut novel, <strong><em>My Enemy, My Love</em></strong> [reprinted as JENNY'S PASSION] was a runaway success. Once again, this author’s solid research and talent for creating a believable, heart-warming romantic tale will transport her many fans back to the foundation of America’s unique spirit in <em><strong>Secrets and Sacrifices</strong></em>.

From the beginning, I couldn’t stop reading until I finished the entire book. <br /><br />Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Garrett, the heroine, is a gutsy, dare-taking, and determined woman who puts others welfare before her own. She dangerously fights side by side with the soldiers, never once complaining. Her dedication and loyalty to the men she loves motivates her beyond what most women of the period could tolerate. She discovers how difficult and unfair life can be, but it can also unexpectedly give her a second chance, especially with love in the arms of one Captain Daniel Reid. <br /><br />Diane has a way of instantly connecting the reader to her characters. Her Civil War historical romances are filled with adventure, hardship, and love. She has a magical way of entwining her main characters with the secondary ones, to create a fascinating plot. Diane breathes life into her unforgettable characters and weaves the stories in a refreshing way that totally grabs and sucks you into the worlds she creates. I always feel as if I’m watching a movie while reading Diane’s books. Her love scenes are tender and spicy, filled with deep emotions, while her descriptive writing style hurls the reader right into the action of the Civil War. <br /><br />I would love for Diane Wylie to continue this series with her previous secondary characters. Daniel’s brother and sister, Brad and Nora, and Daniel’s friend, Major Will Mattingly, definitely need their own love story. <br /><br />Reviewed by Deborah A.

Not only does the story touch on these ideas, but <strong>Diane Wylie</strong> does a superb job bringing the history to life with rich dialogue and scenes that seem so real to this reviewer. What readers will discover above all is love that surpasses everything, including a war. Although the book is a historical there are scenes that are somewhat gruesome, realistic, and unimaginable yet they must be read to understand what goes on within the plot and really appreciate it for what it’s worth, a memorable book that will touch any reviewer. <br /><br />Reviewed by: Lena C.</font></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';color:#000000;font-size:11pt;"></span><div align="center"><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style';color:#000000;font-size:13pt;"><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</font></span></div><p></p></div> <p><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"></font></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Fresh Fiction</font></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="2"><font color="#000000"><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> </font></font></font></p><p></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><a href="http://freshfiction.com/review.php?id=13105"><font color="#990000"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">http://freshfiction.com/review.php?id=13105</font></font></a></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"></font> </p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">SECRETS AND SACRIFICES is Wylie's second historical novel.
