In a time of war, love has to fight for a happily-ever-after.

Millie Gibson has loved Troy McNeil for years. So when he suddenly confesses his attraction to her, she’s ecstatic, even if their time together is limited as Troy must stay on the move to avoid the Confederate army. When Troy rescues her from an attacker, Millie begs him to replace the awful memory with one of love. But will that love last when he learns their time together produced lasting consequences?

Dodging the Rebel army has kept Troy apart from Millie for months, but he can’t forget their last hours together. The last thing he expects upon his return is to find her surrounded by Union soldiers, and now he’s been apprehended as a possible spy and sent to a Union prison. With his fate in the hands of others, only God can orchestrate hope from the chaos of war.

I really enjoy Historical Romance books, they are one of my favorite genres.  Managing Millie by Susan Pope Sloan is the most recent book in this genre that I have read. It is Book 3 in the Rescued Hearts of the Civil War series. I read Book this series from the beginning and have been anxiously anticipating this book.

Millie Gibson is pleased when the man she has admired for a long while, Troy McNeil, confesses he is attracted to her. Someone attacks Millie and Troy is right there to rescue her from the event. She really doesn't want this memory stuck with her, so she asks Troy to show her an affectionate event. Troy has been away for months due to trying to stay out of the Army during Wartime. He is shocked to see Millie with Union soldiers upon his return. He is captured by the Soldiers and taken to a Union Prison, as they believe he is a Spy. Will Millie and Troy be reunited? Will Millie and Troy be able to overcome the obstacles that have prevented them from having a relationship?

WOW, this is a heartwarming book that had me captivated by the storyline from the first chapter. Millie is a very determined and independent woman who has wanted a relationship for a long time with Troy. I wasn't so sure about Troy and his personality at the beginning of the book, but he soon became a favorite part of the storyline. Millie relies on her Faith while she awaits Troy during the times he is away.  This book is one of Faith, LOVE, and Chances. I HIGHLY Recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Historical Romance. WONDERFUL BOOK!

Born into a family of storytellers, Susan Pope Sloan published her first articles in high school and continued writing sporadically for decades. Retirement provided the time to focus on writing and indulge her avid interest in history. Her Civil War series begins (and ultimately ends) in her home state of Georgia with references to lesser-known events of that period. She and husband Ricky live near Columbus where she participates in Word Weavers, ACFW, and Toastmasters.

 

More from Susan

Millie and Troy captured my heart while writing *Rescuing Rose*, and I knew their story had to be told. It was inspired by people close to me—but generations apart–who had a similar experience. *Managing Millie* is loosely based on those.

The challenging part for me was remembering that these characters are very young (16 and 19) and thus plagued by a wide range of volatile emotions and hormones. The decisions they make seem to defy logic at times. Like many young women, Millie tries to grasp control of her life amid difficult situations. Troy is more easy-going, merely trying to stay one step ahead of the Confederate Army until he ends up in a Union prison. Suddenly forced to face his responsibilities, he learns to “man-up” and take charge. His
greatest task, of course, is learning to “manage” Millie without destroying their love for each other.
