My Review:
As soon as I finished this book, I looked up a list of Roseanne M. White’s books to see how many of her books that I’ve read. Including this book, I’ve now read 19 of her books and loved every one of them. The reason that number is significant to me is that out of all those books, this one is now my very favorite.
This story has everything that a wonderful Christian historical fiction book should have: Adventure; clean romance; a storyline that has a touch of mystery and suspense; a faith-based theme; interesting dialogue; and characters that draw you immediately into their lives. All of this author’s books have everything I’ve just mentioned.
But what elevated this one above the others was the sense of humor and fun that’s found in one of the main characters, Lord Theodore Howe, Marquess of Sheridan. His pursuit of the spirited, independent Beth Tremayne—-and their desperate race to find the pirate treasure before the bad guys get their hands on it—-made me laugh and kept me turning pages to see what happened next in their story. It’s a true “enemies to romance” story that was a delight to read.
I also loved the island setting and the supporting characters in this book. Each has their own storyline, and the way the author brought all of this together in the story was amazing. It’s one of those books that I was sorry to finish because I loved these characters so much. But it’s encouraging to know that there’s at least one more book to come in this series, and I look forward to joining their adventures again.
