My Bonny Light Horseman
Author: L.A. Meyer
Series: Bloody Jack (#6)
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
How Received: bought

The infamous pirate, riverboat seductress, master of disguise, and street-urchin-turned-sailor Jacky Faber has been captured by the French and beheaded in full view of her friends and crew.

Inconceivable? Yes! The truth is she’s secretly forced to pose as an American dancer behind enemy lines in Paris, where she entices a French general into revealing military secrets—all to save her dear friends. Then, in intrepid Jacky Faber style, she dons male clothing and worms her way into a post as galloper with the French army, ultimately leading a team of men to fight alongside the great Napoleon.

I liked this better than Mississippi Jack, if not just because her non-Jacky love interest in this one doesn't irk me as much as the British Captain did in MJ. Besides that, this one had much more action in it than MJ as well, and it was fun to read those scenes. Just as amazing as before!

Overall Rating: 10/10
Favorite characters: Jacky Faber or Dimitri Belikov? Dimitri's sexy and mysterious and will always be my favorite male character, and probably the one I remember most, but nobody has written a character anywhere near the amazingness of Jacky Faber.

Happy reading!
