Unflinching and plainspoken, Tessa Swan is not your typical 18th-century woman. Born and bred on the Western Virginia frontier along with her five brothers, she is a force to be reckoned with.

Quiet and courageous, Clay Tygart is not your typical 18th-century man. Raised by Lenape Indians, he returns a hero from the French and Indian War to the fort that bears his name, bringing with him Tessa's long-lost friend, Keturah, a redeemed Indian captive like himself.

Determined to avoid any romantic entanglements as fort commander, Clay remains aloof whenever he encounters the lovely Tessa. But when she is taken captive by the tribe Clay left, his hand - and heart - are forced, leading to one very private and one very public reckoning.

Intense, evocative, and laced with intricate historical details that bring the past to life, An Uncommon Woman will transport you to the picturesque and dangerous Western Virginia mountains of 1770.

This book 📖, along with all of Laura Frantz’s books 📚 are Excellent! The narration by Aimee Lilly is perfect for this book. I thoroughly enjoyed learning so much about the culture & history of the area during this time period in history. It opened up a partial understanding of what the Indians and the white settlers had to endure. The author paints a beautiful picture with words of the area, the characters, their emotions and passions. Laura Frantz books are among my favorites. I hope that Laura Frantz continues to write many more wonderful books like “An Uncommon Woman” with Aimee Lilly narrating them. 📚📖

Such an amazing story!
Tessa's life has always known danger, she longs for peace.
Her best friend has returned after many years of captivity. Though she has changed much, she is still a sister of the heart. I loved the intense friendship between the two women even when parted.
Matchmaking Great Aunt Hester was a wonderful character as was Maddie ❤️
Clay has many troubles of his own and believes harm will come to everyone he loves. But there is something special about Tessa Swan. I enjoyed the stolen kisses and the unconventional romance.
Tessa is a no-nonsense kind of woman with a bit of stubbornness to her.

This is a dramatic portrait of the heartache and hardships endured by the early settlers in Virginia Indian territory. The Swan family struggles to maintain their homestead and keep the family safe from attacks, kidnappings, or worse. Nearby Fort Tygart, run by Colonel Clayton Tygart is their only refuge.

Part history, part adventure, part love story, this is a wonderful story of faith, friendship, and perseverance during wild, adventurous time in the history of America. History buffs, in particular, will enjoy this story.

I listened to the audio version and narrator, Aimee Lilly, did a wonderful job with the many characters in this story. A real delight to listen to.

Wonderfully done. I felt like I was there.

An Uncommon Woman was a breath of fresh air as far as romance novels go. It was the perfect balance of love, suspense, friendship, faith, and adventure as the characters over come the hardships of Frontier life.

Tessa and Clay are relatable and give a picture of what finding a life partner should look like.

Aimee Lilly did a fantastic job of capturing the voice of each character.

If you are looking for a historical romantic novel that doesn’t make you cringe from reading gaudy, scandalous, and over sexualized prose, look no further.

I’m looking forward to reading/listening to more by Laura Frantz!

A Courtship to be Admired ❤️

The author has a wonderful grasp of history but it doesn't side track her from a sweet romance. It just enhances the story. As a history teacher myself, I can appreciate the research involved. Sometimes historical authors don't make the best romance authors, but Laura Frantz's characters had you rooting for them from the beginning. I thought their romance was genuine and sweet.

Solid romance and sound history
