Praise for Smuggler's Bride:
"Marshall weaves historical facts into a well-written and highly captivating romance. The scene in which Julia and Rand find out that neither is what the other thought is humorous as well as poignant. The author ties up loose ends with a big bow and has an extraordinary way of setting the plot for her next book."--Romantic Times BOOKClub
"There are so many 'forced to live together' 'she isn't who she says she is' 'he isn't who he says he is' stories out there, and I can usually find one that takes place in just about every time period. What's different about Smuggler's Bride is the twists applied to the intrigue, and the side characters like Ma Ivey that almost overshadow the main protagonists. It's...a pleasure to read'" --- Smart Bitches, Trashy Books
