    What a fabulous book that is rich in historical detail, compelling characters, suspense and romance! The emotions of the characters were portrayed in a way that made it easy to connect with them and their struggles, and I loved that Susanna and Ben brought out the best in each other. Susanna was facing dilemmas on several fronts- her relationship with her mother, political controversies, sacrificing love for wealth, law versus compassion, and the undeniable chemistry she has with Ben. The mystery of the murdered young women adds an element of suspense that kept me reading straight through until I was done. It was satisfying to see Susanna's perspectives and opinions develop as her eyes are opened up to the world outside her household and her discovery that making the right choice doesn't always have easy consequences, but it is worth it. I'm looking forward to reading more by the author!

    I received this book from Bethany House Publishing for review. Oh, my gosh!!! This book was SO good. I started reading it & it took me a while to get into it, but once I did there was no going back! This book will make you feel so many emotions at one time & I have to commend the author for being able to take something that was set in the 1700′s and make it very interesting & intriguing. I loved all the characters & even the conflict that each character went through. I can't say enough how much I loved this book!! It was so good and I recommend anyone who's into romance, historical fiction, or suspense to pick this book up!

    Susanna Smith and Benjamin Ross both seek an advantageous marriage to improve their station in life. Susanna comes from a financially comfortable family, but was denied access to higher learning. She's determined to marry well so that she can maintain her school for girls. Ben is a good lawyer, but his humble background has always deprived him of the respect that his actions merited. A wealthy wife would propel him into the world of the elite and open opportunities that would otherwise be closed. When Susanna helps a runaway slave, she finds herself turning to Ben for advice and protection. Yet, he is far from safe. Many Colonists resent the British and Ben's ideas seem almost rebellious. Will Susanna and Ben obtain desirable matches? Or will they find a love worth more than aspirations?

    Rebellious Heart by Jody Hedlund is a stand-alone novel of drama and romance. I loved that this book was based on a real-life couple from Colonial times. The storyline hooked me from the beginning and carried my interest throughout the book. Ben and Susanna both underwent deep character development, but the plot never stagnated as they dealt with their issues. Overall, Rebellious Heart was a great read. I was slightly disappointed with the ending. While it was sweet, I felt it left certain things unresolved. I'll definitely keep the book and read it again. However, some readers may find the lack of complete resolution off-putting.

    Jody Hedlund returns with another historical novel based on the loves of John and Abigail Adams. I have loved all of Jody Hedlund's books, but Rebellious Heart is my absolute favorite by far! Painting a vivid history of the American colonies before the War of Independence, this novel is brilliantly written.

    I absolutely love the hero, Ben Ross. Not only is he determined to protect the innocent, he is so sweet! Abigail is an amazing and witty heroine who struggles with her feelings towards Ben and also her loyalties to the British crown. Their relationship is adorable and I love how it is based on John and Abigail Adams real life friendship and romance.

    I was shocked at the very end and could not imagine the conclusion. Filled with romance, suspense, and American history. I am adding this book to my shelf of favorites and plan on purchasing a copy when it comes out on September 15! Highly recommend!

They band together to save the life of a runaway indentured servant while solving the mystery of who is slaying women just like her in this quaint Massachusetts town. As they work together and become closer, Bens ideas of revolution lead Susanna to question everything she knows. Susanna and her rebellious heart slowly learn to trust and love this man with ideas that will undoubtedly pave a path for the future of the colonies. With such a well-written balance of romance, mystery, and history, this book is a must read for lovers of the inspirational historical fiction genre!
