British agents embedded in the Continental Army wait only for the order to strike. Racing against time, rebel spy Ethan Matlock sets out to protect the one man who can save the Revolution.
Without General Washington, the whole American enterprise might easily collapse, for no one else has demonstrated the ability to keep togethe George Washington has been marked for death. Without General Washington, the whole American enterprise might easily collapse, for no one else has demonstrated the ability to keep together an army that constantly threatens to fall apart.
Boldly Ethan infiltrates the heart of the British military, occupiers of grand old Philadelphia, where elegant officers posture in drawing rooms and frolic in the bedrooms of the rich. Surrounded by twenty thousand redcoats, aware that the slightest misstep could lead to the gallows, Ethan resorts to vicious measures to unravel a conspiracy of power-hungry men. Against his better judgment, he becomes entangled with the provocative Miss Maddie Graves, whose fierce devotion to the American cause ironically threatens his mission.

Description
Maddie has much animosity for her step-uncle because he was responsible for having her father imprisoned for treason against the crown and she shares her father's beliefs. The book has lots of action and suspense, wondering if Ethan and Maddie will fall in love, if she will get to see her father released and if her uncle will get his just desserts; wondering if Ethan will get caught as every turn he could be discovered by the British or Maddie and wanting him to be successful in foiling the despicable plots.
One minor character I liked, who is only mentioned briefly, was elderly Lydia Beltram, "a spry old widow who had fought Indians on the Pennsylvania frontier, rumored to have taken scalps, refused to house British soldiers when General Howe's army arrived in town. Owing to her age and her threat to burn down the place rather than live with redcoats, Howe made an exception for the woman he dubbed 'that white-haired fiend'.
She sounds like a tough woman, strong and independent, not easily cowed I would recommend this book for lovers of historical fiction, suspense and romance. I received this book in exchange for an honest review-- thank you! View all 3 comments. Feb 01, Tom Behr rated it it was amazing. Thomas Behr, author of Blood Brothers: For one thing, Benjamin Franklin never got around to inventing the flush toilet.
For another, was a desperate year for a fledgling republic still trying to find its wings, let alone spread them. Her hero, Ethan Matlock, is every bit as dashing and recklessly daring as one could wish. One would happily follow him into battle, or a tavern, or even a bawdy house.
Above all, this is a captivating spy story that keeps the tension ratcheted up until the very end. Feb 13, N. Brott rated it it was amazing Shelves: The plot involves an attempt to assassinate George Washington at a critical time during the revolution, something I must confess I was wholly unaware of, but now find fascinating.

The story opens with Ethan Matlock, a Loyalist, foiling a band of American rebels intent on assaulting Maddie Graves, her step-mother, and her step-uncle, Robert Sinclair, a descen In The Devil Take Tomorrow, author Gretchen Jeanette offers up a compelling and highly enjoyable Revolutionary War era historical adventure.
The story opens with Ethan Matlock, a Loyalist, foiling a band of American rebels intent on assaulting Maddie Graves, her step-mother, and her step-uncle, Robert Sinclair, a descendant of the British aristocracy and an important merchant to the British command. He also welcomes Matlock into his home. This gives Matlock the added opportunity to get to know Maddie better, but she is an American Patriot, and therefore rejects any attraction she feels for him.
We quickly learn that Ethan Matlock is actually a spy for the Americans. He receives an offer to become a spy for the British, which he accepts in order to uncover more about the assassination plot. The story was packed with intriguing details that had me Googling things like brandy sours and devils on horseback an appetizer made by wrapping bacon around prunes. I liked that Ethan was not a perfect hero, having to wrestle with his conscience as he serves his country in less than honorable ways.
Jeanette did an admirable job creating sympathetic characters on both the American and British sides of the revolution.
I recommend The Devil Take Tomorrow to anyone who likes a good adventure story with a dash of romance thrown in. I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review. I truly enjoyed reading this novel. The characters are a believable mix of traits that reflect the time during which the story is set. To avoid spoilers I will say some you adore and some you love to hate! Despite having some knowledge as the reader of which side each character is on- there are several surprising twists written in.
When I read the final lines, I looked up to find that it had grown dark around me. High I truly enjoyed reading this novel. This was a terrific book.
The Devil Take Tomorrow by Gretchen Jeannette
Review to follow written July 15, I read this book several months ago, and was really impressed. I meant to write a review at the time, but had too many other things going on to sit down and write a review that did justice to this wonderful book. Now, in January , I have a little more time. I'm a lover of historical romance. But, because I also love historical fiction, the "historical" part of historical romance is very important to me.
I also read historical This was a terrific book. I also read historical romance because I want a story with a HEA, and too much historical fiction tends to end tragically unfortunate, but realistic. But, the more a romance incorporates the history of the time, the happier I am.
The Devil Take Tomorrow
The history here was superbly done. The research was impressive, but equally important was that it was seamlessly part of the story, and not an information dump. The book takes place during the lowest ebb of the Revolutionary War for the Americans. The British are in control of some major colonial cities, including Philadelphia where the story takes place.
The colonial army and their commander-in-chief George Washington are spending a bitterly cold winter holed up in Valley Forge, outside of Philadelphia. In the midst of all this, the colonists uncover a plot by the British to assassinate Washington, who is the glue keeping the colonial army and the cause of independence together. The army sends a spy into Philadelphia to infiltrate the British command, uncover the details of the plot, and stop it.
I don't want to say much more and spoil the story. This story has it all - a wonderful plot, fascinating politics and history, adventure, a swoon worthy hero, and a beautiful valiant heroine.
Cindy Scott: Let The Devil Take Tomorrow
And the book is really well written. Unfortunately, I've read too many books where there are interesting characters and a good plot, but the author just can't get the pacing right. The pacing here is perfect. There is a large cast of characters - both British and those who want independence from Britain - and they are well developed and depicted many of whom were actual historical figures. And there is a lovely romance, although the book is really more historical fiction with a strong romantic element. A big complaint of mine about many historical romances is that they are anachronistic - either in the language and references, or in the attitudes and behavior of the characters, or both.
I often feel as though I'm reading about 21st Century people in period dress. This book felt pitch perfect about the language and behavior of the characters. Never once did I feel that I was anywhere else than in 18th Century Philadelphia. I love history, but not everyone does. However, a good book of historical fiction can make history fascinating, and so absorbing that you don't realize that you're getting a history lesson. This one certainly does. We get an exciting introduction to two of the main characters, Ethan Matlock and Maddie Graves who are smack dab in the middle of the American Revolution.
Because of my archaeology and history background I tend to shy away from historical fiction as there is only so much cringe I can handle, but this book was different. Firstly, I know very little about the American Revolution, so the academic part of my brain could take a little vacation. Secondly this book has such a lovely balance between romance and action, intrigue and mystery. Jeannette did an excellent job of taking readers on a rollercoaster ride; feeling fearful when Ethan is on a dangerous mission, feeling powerful when Maddie defies her uncle.
The dialogue was also excellent, giving the inner thoughts of people context and adding flavour to the tension as it builds.

I have a tough time saying anything negative or even critical of this book. I was surprised at how much I loved this book, and how much it captivated me. This may not compare to great literary works, or the classics, but it strikes me as the perfect book to read in the fall, curled up in a comfy chair and a snuggly blanket, with a hot mug of tea on one side and a fragrant candle burning on the other side.
If you knew me, you would know this is some of the highest praise I can give a book, as that state is basically what I aspire to be in at all times. Mar 04, S. Daisy rated it really liked it Recommends it for: This is a historical fiction tale filled to the brim with action, adventure, espionage, and romance. Taking place during the years in the history-laden setting of Pennsylvania, this is a very well researched, well written, and thoroughly entertaining novel that any history buff should read. Robert Sinclair, a very wealthy and influential Englis This is a historical fiction tale filled to the brim with action, adventure, espionage, and romance.
Robert Sinclair, a very wealthy and influential Englishman, takes him under his wing as the son he wished he had. Maddie Graves, Sinclair's niece and ward, is a headstrong patriot for the rebel cause, who never thought she could fall for a man who fought for the Crown until she met Ethan. Ethan Matlock, however, is a double agent fighting for General Washington, seeking information concerning an assassination attempt that he knows they are plotting. When his love for Maddie grows, his entire mission is thrown into jeopardy. Will he have to choose between his cause and her? I liked this book very much.
