My review:

 I knew once I read my first Roseanna M. White book, I would enjoy her writing.

Ring of Secrets is the first book I have read by her, and it exceeded my expectations.

He must hope if one fought for the light it could hold the darkness at bay. 

I adored the story. Winter is such a fascinating character, and I enjoyed her feigned innocence and misinterpretation of words. It added a depth of humor to the story. I have not read much from this time period (Revolutionary War) and enjoyed seeing it through the eyes of this story.

Bennet was also an interesting character. I loved that while he couldn't quite figure her out, he knew there was more to Winter than what she portrayed. I enjoyed his bumbling and stuttering around females, which also added humor to the story.

There was so much to this story, a spy ring, coding, secrets, a beautiful slow-burn romance, well-developed characters, and an excellent plot, all very well-written. There was nothing to dislike about this story. I immediately went into book two of the series because I wanted more!

Synopsis (Goodreads):

This exciting romantic spy novel from Roseanna M. White combines fascinating cloak-and-dagger secrets with a tale of love and intrigue during the Revolutionary War.

Winter Reeves is an aristocratic Patriot forced to hide her heart amid the Loyalists of the City of New York. She has learned to keep her ears open so she can pass information on British movements to Robbie Townsend, her childhood friend, and his spy ring. If she's caught, if she's hung for espionage...well, she won't be. Robbie has taught her the tools of the trade: the wonders of invisible ink, drop locations and, most importantly, a good cover.

Bennet Lane returns to New York from his Yale professorship with one goal: to find General Washington's spy hidden among the ranks of the elite. Searching for a wife was supposed to be nothing more than a convenient cover story for his mission, but when he meets Winter, with her too-intelligent eyes in her too-blank face, he finds a mystery that can't be ignored.

Both believers...and both committed to a separate cause. Will their faith in God lead them to a shared destiny or lives lived apart?
