From Booklist
Another sweeping saga from the author of Wind of the Wolf (2003), Crosswinds begins in North Carolina, where Cat (Catherine Lynch Kincaid) waits for a monthly visit from her husband, Ty, who has joined the Confederate army and is currently stationed in the mountains of Virginia. The story then jumps to Cat's father's ranch in Wyoming, where Jenny and Chase are raising their own son as well as that of Jenny's deceased twin, and then zooms off to New Orleans, where Cole Larrimore is searching for his vanished niece, Amanda. Holby alternates between assuming knowledge of and concern for her characters, and offering meandering, highly descriptive passages that do little to forward the story, develop the characters, or inspire much interest. But readers who enjoy lush description for its own sake (as so many do), battle scenes from the Civil War, and continuing family chronicles will want to start with the previous volume and keep on reading.

best get them all and start from the beginning
excellent set of books--i got the first 2 and now with crosswinds i will be able to complete the saga--my advise, get all three and plan on a nice reading weekend.

Book 3 of this awesome trilogy.
Do yourself a favor and order all 3 books now because once you start them, you won't want to interrupt the flow of this wonderful family saga. "Chase the Wind" begins with the love of Faith and Ian.....a romance her family forbids and a future that looks doomed. But Ian comes back to Faith the night before her arranged marriage and they steal away,chased mercilessly by the adamant, evil groom to be. They head west and begin their life, giving birth to wonderful twins.....jamie and jenny. The characters are larger than life. You can feel the love, share the emotions and live their dream...and of course fall in love with them. But the ex groom finds them and seeks revenge and the twins have to face the future alone, but together. "Chase the Wind" is a halfbreed they become friends with in the horrible orphanage where they all wind up and Chase becomes an integral part of the story as do others in the orphanage. All of the characters weave throughout all 3 bks of this incredible trilogy. Book 2, "Wind of the Wolf" is not as captivating as books 1 and 3 but is so essential to fill in those middle years in the twins lives and all the problems they encounter. It also introduces the new family they make and you will laugh and cry with those relationships and dialogue. And it explains so well the place of the wolf and the fox in the storyline which is very different and symbolic of chase and jamie's blood brother relationship. It really is the glue between the first and last book. It is so significant that jamie's son is called Fox! The last book Crosswinds is incredible.....This close knit group of friends face incredible decisions together and hardships. Severl of them go to fight in the civil war and again the characters entwine magically. New relationships are enlightening and those bad guys just won't give up! so there is plenty of action. One reviewer said that "crosswinds" is more civil war history than romance. What balogna. I have never read a series with more real love and affection than this trilogy. The civil war era is perfect for these friendships to be tested. But Jenny somehow follows chase to the battle area and cat surely follows Ty and gets involved in saving him and his men!!! And of course there other friends come to the rescue. There is no way to review this series to do it justice....Just buy them and read them. They will stay in your heart forever.I promise. Absolutely incredible
writing ms holby. congratulations.

Mediocre civil war
I might enjoy this more if I had read the other books first. I didn't know this was part of a series and bought it to read civil war, but the writer obviously isnt familiar with the period because she made mistakes with the battles and customs. I wanted a happier ending. Cat has a miscarriage and her husband has to go back to the war. I never find out if he survives or not. It wasn't finished and Im not interested enough to read the next book.
