So good! Loved the historic realism and the use of real events and real people. Also that she didn't lump all the Indians into one generic group. And that they were neither romanised or vilified. 
 Nicholas was wonderful - brave, strong, resourceful, sweet to Bethie. The birth scenes were so beautiful and the the whole beginning of the story from him arriving at her cabin until they get to Fort Pitt was close to perfect. Splitting the chores, learning to read, brushing hair, oh my! 
 Bethie's character changed when they got to Fort Pitt and she started being mouthy (haggis-head) and kept leaving safety. I was impressed that up until then she hadn't done any of the typical TSTL moves like deciding she could fight off three Indian warriors on her own or something. 
 Since I hadn't read the beginning of the series, I was really aware of how well-placed and wealthy his family is. I wasn't expecting the very end in fact, I was hoping they'd ride back West instead of ending up in VA. I can see his family accepting her for love of him, but I doubt things were very easy at all. The version I read is older, so I didn't have the epilogue. I'll have to track that down now.
