A Heart Adrift by Laura Frantz


This was a wonderful read.  There was great historical aspects as well as those second chances on love that we all love to read about, at least I definitely do! The author's command of the English language is amazing and I have to admit there were some words I had to look up!  The author was very knowledgeable about the language of this period, which clearly would be different than ours. Good for building my vocabulary, I think!  This author is a wonderful writer and knows how to engage the reader so that you can't stop reading until the wee hours!  I loved the unique name of Esmee that is used in this story and I loved the detailed plot and the intrigue in this well-written novel. 

Henri is a great hero and then there is Quinn!  It's simply an enjoyable book that you won't want to miss.  I have enjoyed so many of this author's books and this one was another winner.  I enjoyed reading about life in the 1700's in Colonial Virginia and being a chocolate lover, this book definitely was a hit!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher.  All thoughts are my own.

Tidewater Bride by Laura Frantz

 

First, I love this beautiful cover.  I love this early time period of history in the 1600's.  The trials and different lives these people lead is fascinating to me.  Her descriptions of places and events that you feel you are a part of the lives of these people.  You feel their experiences.  The writing was excellent and it was a well written book.  The book has good Christian values. It is fascinating to hear of the settlers' struggles as they forge a life for themselves and their families.

If you enjoy historical, you will find this a very captivating book!

I received an ebook copy from NetGalley.  All thoughts are my own.

An Uncommon Woman by Laura Frantz

This book was just amazing.  I have loved every book I have read from Laura Frantz.  What a talented author.  Her ability to describe her scenes to the best detail is absolute genius.

The book is written about 18th century America.  A time when people were settling new frontiers and facing elements, Indians and many, many human hardships and trials.  This book totally encompasses this time frame in history.  The well-researched book about a very strong frontierswoman, Tessa, brings to life her adventures as she helps to forge a way through the trials of Indian territory.

It is so hard to imagine living in this time when each day could bring the unexpected Indian raid, loss of life and family.

As she meets Clay Tygart, their romance is quiet and at first not to be acted upon in his calling as fort commander.  Yet, you can feel their attraction and it keeps you reading to see where it goes.

To watch the character Keturah be taken by Indians was heart wrenching.  But to see the woman she becomes was also fascinating.

Tessa was definitely a strong character, perfect for her situation and always ready to serve in anyway she can.  She always steps up to the needs each time.

I was so happy to be able to read such a well written, and detailed book.  It's depth kept me reading and loving every page of it.  It was full of adventure and action.  No dull moments!

I received a copy of this book from Revell Publishing.  All thoughts are my own.

A Moonbow Night by Laura Frantz

This historical book by Laura Frantz was filled with in-depth descriptive details.  As Tempe Tucker leads Sion Morgan on a survey expedition they have many encounters with Indians and adventure. Ms. Franz can really make a picturesque book filled with what I would assume would have to be done through much research.  The book shares history, some romance, but mostly adventure.  There is no shortage of that.

Like with other books from this author, you can't miss and you will enjoy it.

I received an ebook copy from NetGalley for my honest review which I have given.
