Charlotte's Promise by Jennifer Moore + Win This Book!

One year ago Charlotte Bower's life was ripped apart when Creek Indians attacked, killed her parents, and separated her from her young brother—now, she will stop at nothing to find him. After a year of captivity, she has finally made her escape. Her search will begin in New Orleans, where captives were taken after the raid. But how to reach a city hundreds of miles away? As she watches men boarding a waiting ship, Charlotte formulates a bold plan: if it's men they need for the ship's crew, it's a man they'll get. Taking on her childhood nickname, Charlie, it is all too easy to gain passage on the New Orleans-bound vessel. Easy, that is, until Charlie is caught . . .

From the moment he sets eyes on the new deckhand, Captain Alden Thatcher knows one thing for certain: Charlie Bower is no man. But for reasons of his own, he keeps her secret. As their journey progresses, however, the voyage is increasingly ill-fated. With danger ever present, Charlie and the captain find themselves relying on one another in ways they'd never imagined. As they draw closer to her goal, Charlotte is faced with the most perilous adventure of all—an adventure that may risk her heart.

This is exactly the kind of historical fiction I love to read.  Anytime a book leaves me wanting to know more about a certain time and event in history I know the author has done their job.  I knew absolutely nothing about the battle in New Orleans.  I've never been there but if I am lucky enough to venture there one day, I will be sure to visit the museums and historical monuments that commemorate this part of the war.  The author has an ancestor who fought in this war which made it all so much more real, I think.  I could feel the research and dedication throughout the story.

 Charlotte (aka Charlie) is a great character.  So determined and strong.  I fell in love with her- right along with everyone in this book!  She is gentle, kind and resourceful.  I also love that nobody that really knew Charlie was fooled by her attempt to be a boy- especially Alden.  He knew right away but kept her secret and protected her.  The slow growing relationship between Alden and Charlie was fantastic.  Slow but fantastic.  It couldn't have been any other way.

I loved this book from beginning to end.  One of my favorites by this author.

Ooh, if you are looking for Christmas romance, you don't want to miss this collection!  All four of these novellas are utterly charming.  I loved how in each one of them, the romance came as a surprise and changed the feeling of melancholy to a feeling of joy and happiness.  It was so satisfying!  What a great bunch of authors!

The Christmas/holiday/winter spirit is strong in these stories.  There is ice skating, caroling, sledding, yule logs, mistletoe, dancing, Christmas decorating and even plum pudding!  This book will definitely get you feeling the holiday spirit and aren't holiday romances just extra magical?  I think so.  <sigh>

The Shipbulider's Wife by Jennifer Moore + $25 and Book Giveaway!

The day of her parents' garden party dawns bright as Lydia Prescott eagerly anticipates a marriage proposal from a handsome and wealthy plantation owner. The lovely debutante plans to steal a moment away with her beau, but her plans go terribly awry. Instead of her intended, she is joined by a stranger the largest man she's ever laid eyes on. And it is clear Jacob Steele is there for reasons far more sober than the party. With British raids erupting all around them, it is his job to reassure plantation owners of their safety. In reality, however, Jacob is an espionage agent, and the truth is dire: America is on the verge of invasion by the British.

Blissfully unaware of the danger surrounding her, Lydia basks in the glow of her recent engagement. But her joy is short-lived—a surprise British attack results in a devastating wound, and her plans for the future are shattered. Lost in her devastation, Lydia could never dream that Jacob, that giant of a man she met so briefly, would prove to be her saving grace. And with a war raging around them, she may be called upon to save him too.

 * Amazon * Goodreads * Deseret Book *

There is just something about historical fiction books that sing to my heart.  I really love a well done historical fiction.  This one was perfect for me because it was set during a pivotal time in US history.  The British are invading, raids are happening, people are dying.  Both Lydia and Jacob are caught in the middle.  There was a good balance of plot and character building.  

I felt like I knew both Lydia and Jacob and I felt their growth throughout the book.  Their relationship progression felt believable and genuine which is so important to me as a reader.  I loved Lydia's spunk and determination and I also loved her vulnerable moments.  I could actually say the exact same thing about Jacob.  He is rock steady in his determination to America's cause but when it comes to matters of the heart, he is so unsure.  It made him so endearing!

Like I said before, this book really hit my sweet spot and I enjoyed it so much.  This is one of my favorite times in history to read about!

My Dearest Enemy by Jennifer Moore + $25 and Book Giveaway!

Struggling alone on the family farm, Abigail Tidwell knows exactly who to blame for her hardships: the Americans. If it weren’t for their part in the war, her father and brothers would be home rather than fighting abroad. But no amount of antipathy could have prepared her for the shocking sight of a wounded American soldier on her property, a man in dire need of her help. Grudgingly, Abigail tends to the soldier’s injuries and anticipates the satisfaction of turning him over to the authorities once he is healed. But fate has other plans. Captain Emmett Prescott remembers little of the ambush on his men by a group of Shawnee Indians and even less about how he arrived in the unfamiliar barn.

After being nursed back to health by beautiful, if reluctant, Abigail, Emmett would do anything to save the men he left behind—including forcibly enlisting Abigail’s help. Soon, Abigail finds herself caught between two countries at war. And as her attraction for Emmett grows, her conflicted heart engages in its own silent battle. But when she is accused of treason for her actions, her survival rests in the hands of the very man she once considered her enemy.

 * Amazon * Goodreads * Deseret Book *

I really don't know too much about the War of 1812.  I can't remember the school history lesson of so long ago but after reading this book, I have the urge to read more about it.  Jennifer Moore has written a book that painted vivid images in my mind and clearly she has done her history homework because everything felt so sturdy and real.  I love when historical fiction feels rich and makes me want to know more about whatever I am reading.  

This book was more plot driven than character driven, which left me wanting more of an emotional connection but I did enjoy the story.  I loved Emmett and his group of trusted allies who were a vital and ongoing part of the story.  They helped give the book a feeling of trust and family- nobody is left behind.

Miss Leslie's Secret by Jennifer Moore + $25 and Book Giveaway!

Decorated war hero Conall Stewart has spent ten years envisioning his return to his beloved Scottish Highlands. But now, with the days of battle finally behind him, it seems that his dreams of home have been in vain: the land of his youth lies in ruins, and his family is gone. Though he will never stop searching for his kin, Conall knows he must begin again. But when he takes on a rented farm in a nearby town, he finds far more than the fresh start he was looking for . . . After catching a mischievous local lad stealing, Conall returns young Jamie to his mother, Aileen Leslie—and finds the woman’s coddling of the child maddening. What Conall does not realize is that Aileen hides a frightening secret: her devoted protection of Jamie is all that shelters them from discovery by a dangerous man from their past. Drawn together by circumstance, Conall soon develops a fatherly relationship with Jamie—as well as romantic feelings for Aileen. But even as the couple accepts their growing affection for one another, time runs out for Aileen and her son: after years of hiding, they have been found. Conall lost his family once—he will do all in his power not to let history repeat itself . . ..

 * Amazon * Goodreads * Deseret Book *

This book transported me to the Scottish Highlands.  Conall has been far from his home for a long time and through him I was able to feel the longing to be there and the peace that he felt in coming home.  This story is full of Scottish traditions and I love how traditions bind people together.  I had a really strong sense of this while reading.  The author does a really good job of capturing the pride of the Scottish people, their struggles and their love for the land and each other.  

Aileen is such a good mother with very strong mama bear tendencies.  I loved her for that.  She loves that little Jaime with everything in her and I can surely relate to that!  Aileen is a strong woman, and a hard worker which made her an easy character to like and root for.  

This was another great story from Jennifer Moore!

Miss Whitaker Opens Her Heart by Jennifer Moore + $25 and Book Giveaway!

Australia, 1814

As a young child bound for a strange country, Sarah Whitaker dreamed of life with her father on his sprawling Australian ranch. But her hopes were shattered when she learned of his death and of her new role as heiress of the largest sheep farm in New Wales. Orphaned in a land greatly populated by petty criminals exiled from England, the future seemed grim. But now, ten years later, Sarah has defied the odds and become a successful businesswoman much to the chagrin of her male counterparts. Hardened by the dishonesty of both her fellow ranchers and the felons in her employ, Sarah has learned one important truth: no one is to be trusted.

Daniel Burton is a lucky man. Sentenced to death for his role in a horse-race scandal, Daniel was granted reprieve thanks to the influence of his wealthy relatives. Now, rather than death, Daniel faces exile in Australia an opportunity to put past mistakes behind him. But when he purchases land with the intention of farming it, he unwittingly arouses the wrath of his new neighbor, Sarah. What begins as a battle of wits, however, soon becomes a warm friendship and perhaps something more. But when Daniel's secret past is revealed, will Sarah be able forgive yet another deception?

 * Amazon * Goodreads * Deseret Book *

First, I love this cover.  It feels so romantic to me.  <sigh>  

Second, I love Jennifer Moore's books.  She has such a unique take on regency romances.  They vary in settings and never feel very typical.  This one is set in New Wales (Australia) where Sarah Whitaker is carving out the life her father started in ranching and sheep.  We get our first look at Sarah as she crosses the oceans on her way to New Wales as a young girl.  I loved the glimpse at who Sarah was in the beginning before struggle, sadness and distrust took over.  

Daniel is a good counter balance to Sarah.  He believes in mercy and second chances where Sarah has hardened herself against those who need and desire those very things.  Daniel and Sarah come from very different places due to life's experiences.  I loved how I could see and sympathize with both sides of this story.  I loved both Sarah and Daniel.

I honestly loved this book.  I loved the struggle, the setting, the characters, everything.  It settled gently into my mind and heart.  LOVE!

A Country Christmas (Timeless Regency Collection) by Josi S. Kilpack, Carla Kelly, Jennifer Moore

SAINTS AND SINNERS by Josi S. Kilpack. When Neville Franklin’s best friend Burke wants to wager who can kiss Eloise first, Neville puts a stop to it. Eloise has been his friend since childhood, and, well, she’s off-limits. Especially to Burke. As Burke pursues Eloise and claims that she has a tendre for him, Neville becomes more and more protective of the girl he grew up with. On the night of the Christmas ball when Eloise appears in a dress that clearly shows that she is no longer a girl, but a beautiful woman, Neville realizes that his protective feelings toward Eloise have turned into something greater. But now, Neville’s best friend stands in his way.

THE CHRISTMAS ANGLE by Carla Kelly. Sailing Master Able Six is on half-pay with the British navy, biding his time during the uneasy Peace of Amiens and the resumption of war. Meanwhile, he’s invited to teach young pupils at the home of a vicar outside of Plymouth. There, he unexpectedly meets Meridee, the spinster sister-in-law of the vicar. From the moment Able sees Meridee, he’s entranced. When she asks him about his past and discovers his remarkable yet troublesome gift, he realizes he’s finally found someone who can care for all of him. Sadly, Able’s low station and half-pay gives him no way to provide for a wife. Meridee’s lack of dowry and dependence on relatives makes their union impossible at best. But isn’t Christmas a season of hope?

THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS by Jennifer Moore. Archie Clawson wants nothing more than to give Jane the perfect Christmas. Since her troubled childhood, she’s not experienced a Christmas with all the trimmings. To top off the perfection, he also plans to ask her to marry him on Christmas Eve. But as he and his friends, including Jane, travel to his country home, they are caught in a snowstorm and discover that notice of their arrival did not get through to the house staff. Worried over the disappointment he must be causing Jane and the complete shift in their planned Christmas, Archie fears that he’s misinterpreted her kindness towards him and lost her favor forever.

 * Goodreads * Amazon *

This book containing three novellas is perfect for the fast approaching Christmas season.  All three of these books are gentle in nature and bring a spirit of hope and love.  

My favorite was the first novella by Josi Kilpack.  It drew me in right away and made me smile.  Neville is a bit dense but he eventually comes around.  His bumbling was quite amusing to me.

Carla Kelly's book wasn't my favorite.  It lacked the emotional connection for me and felt very matter of fact and straight forward.  It didn't quite have that country Christmas feeling that the other two did.

Jennifer Moore's story brings all the feelings of a perfect, classic country Christmas to the front.  It took me a bit to get into the story and the characters but by the end, I loved it.  It reminded me that it really can be the simple things that make things special.  Especially if you are with the people you care about most.

Content:  The Christmas Angle had some mild swearing.  Otherwise the books are clean.

A Place for Miss Snow by Jennifer Moore + Giveaway!

Miss Diana Snow is everything a British chaperone should be—she finds satisfaction in order and depends wholly upon the rules of decorum as she negotiates the isle of Greece with her young charge. But Miss Snow's prim and proper exterior masks a disquieting past: orphaned and alone in the world, she has only her stiff upper lip to rely on. When a brief encounter with a handsome stranger challenges her rules of propriety, Diana is unwittingly drawn into an adventure that will turn her ordered world upside down.

Alexandros Metaxas is a Greek spy working to recruit individuals to the cause of revolution. His mission seems to be going perfectly until he encounters Diana Snow, a captivating—if slightly cold—beauty. When their paths cross again, the ill-fated reunion threatens all Alex has been fighting for. But more importantly, it places Diana's life in jeopardy. There is only one way to save her: they must put themselves at the mercy of the most powerful pirate family in the Mediterranean. Soon, Diana is plunged into a fantastic world of gypsy curses, blood feuds, and unexpected romance. But when a bitter vendetta places her in mortal danger, will she have the courage to fight for life and love?

 * Amazon * Goodreads *

I love historical fiction and I love regency romance.  This story blends the two genres perfectly and uniquely as this regency steps outside of the normal English setting and into the beautiful lands of Greece.  

You can tell that the author did her homework for this book.  The people, the language, the places all felt substantial and detailed and not light weight.  

I felt so much empathy for Diana Snow.  Her past and her poor heart that held in so much hurt.  How can you not wish for the very best for characters who win over your emotions?

I enjoyed this story.  It had a slower pace to it, more descriptions and more history but it created a very beautiful picture for me.  It gave me a glimpse into a bit of history that I really know very little about.  The last third of the book was my favorite- the plot picks up, the relationships become more concrete, and that was when things really came together for me.

Content:  Clean.  Some mild violence.

Change of Heart (Lobster Cove #1) by Jennifer Moore + $25 Giveaway

 

This summer, Nathaniel Cavanaugh vacations in Lobster Cove to spend quality time with his kids after his estranged wife’s tragic death. Successful and well-connected, he is on the fast-track to the highest legal positions in the country, but his family life suffers. After an accident throws Val nearly into his lap and costs her a job opportunity, Nathaniel surprises himself by overlooking her outlandish appearance and lack of qualifications to offer her a job as his nanny for the summer. Valdosta McKinley wishes for an internship at a Paris Art Institute to use her newly acquired art-history skills. She knows Nathaniel could never develop feelings for a girl from a trailer in a rural West Virginia holler—a lesson she learned the hard way years earlier. Will pursuit of their professional goals require Nathaniel and Val to give up the dream of being a family?

   

The concept and plot of this story isn't a new one.  But it is a good one.  And well worth repeating when it is done well.  This book was so fun and I was caught up in the romance of it all.  

It was so easy to like both Nathaniel and Val.  Val will make you smile on almost every single page.  She has charm and quirk to go with her heart of gold.  Nathaniel has a few hangups but he is a good man.  Val brings out the very best in him by treating him with respect and kindness.  Val is a good cheerleader.  I loved how their relationship grew into friendship and then something more.  This book turned into an excellent romantic movie in my head.  I love when that happens

Jennifer Moore is one of my favorite authors and  I love reading her books.  This looks to be the first of a new series and I can't wait to see who's story we get to see next.  

Enjoy the following excerpt!

The crashing of waves soothed him and let him relax as he enjoyed the warm drink. His eyes drifted shut.

    “Mr. Cavanaugh?”

With a start, he opened his eyes. “I really think you should call me Nathaniel.” He was starting to getdrowsy.

        “Sir, that would be completely inappropriate, not

when I’m working for you.”

    “That’s true, but sometimes you don’t seem like an

employee.”

Val raised her eyes and their gazes met. “I don’t act

very professional, do I?”

    “That’s not what I meant. Sometimes, you seem

more like a friend.” Nathaniel could tell that his guard was down. Why did talking to someone at night free people of their inhibitions? He needed to be careful not to say anything he’d regret.

Val picked at her nails. “I need to thank you again for coming to get me. It’s the second time you’ve rescued me. I’m not doing very well in the whole ‘being an independent woman’ department, am I?”

    “That’s what friends do.” He closed his eyes and let his head fall back against the chair. Moments later, he sleepily registered Val had moved the blanket to cover him and took the empty mug from his hand, but he was too tired to do more than mutter,     “Thanks.”

    “Good night, Nathaniel.”
