"A Worthy Rebel" by Jody Hedlund--Book Review


About the Book: 
A desperate noblewoman, a rebellious peasant, and a forbidden love. 

While fleeing an arranged betrothal to a heartless lord, Lady Isabelle becomes injured and lost. Rescued by a young peasant man, she hides her identity as a noblewoman for fear of reprisal from the peasants who are bitter and angry toward the nobility. 

Cole Warwick cannot turn his back on a person in need and soon finds himself falling for Izzy, the gentle and beautiful runaway who is mending in his cottage. As the leader of an imminent uprising against the nobility, he tries to resist his growing feelings for Izzy to protect her from the dangerous life he’s chosen. But the longer she stays, the more he hopes she’ll never leave.

When Izzy’s true identity is revealed, Cole feels betrayed. With the rebellion underway, can Cole forgive Izzy and find a way to save her from an unhappy marriage? Or will he and his peasant army be destroyed before he has the chance to fight for the people and the woman he loves?


My Thoughts:
"A Worthy Rebel" is the fifth and last book in the Uncertain Choice series. It, like the others in the series, can be read alone, but there are ties to the other books in the series and a fuller appreciation would be gained from reading them all in order. Plus, they are great books, so you have the benefit of reading more wonderful books that way! This book is about Isabelle who we met in the previous book about her sister Olivia. In the beginning, Izzy is timid and unsure of herself and always compares herself to Olivia. As the book progresses, Izzy learns more about herself and her purpose in life. I liked Cole and his desire to be worthy. He wasn't perfect, but learned and grew along the way. I enjoyed getting to meet Thea, Posy, Priest, and the others and the fullness that they add to the story. I look forward to reading more books by Jody Hedlund.
