Love’s Rescue: A Novel (Keys of Promise book 1) by Christine Johnson
Pirates, ship wrecks, romance and mystery…. Love’s Rescue jumps right into a fast paced story line which kept my interest until the very last page.
The story takes place in the 1840s in Key West. Elizabeth Benjamin decides to go home after 4 years of being gone after a tragic family accident. She isn’t met with open arms and has a hard time adjusting to her family and house responsibilities. She wonders if the man who captured her heart many years ago, still views her as a little girl.
Elizabeth discovers family secrets that weren’t meant to be found, and finds herself wondering who to trust and who to love.
I haven’t read anything previously from this author, but since I really enjoyed this book, I will be looking up more books by her. **Clean, Christian romance.**
I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Revell Books, a division of of Baker Publishing Group, in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media-all opinions are my own.
Book Description:
When her mother dies, Elizabeth Benjamin heads home to Key West, determined to transform herself into the perfect Southern belle her parents always wished her to be. But nothing goes according to plan. Her crippled brother resents her, the servants do not obey her, and Rourke O’Malley, the dashing man she vowed to forget, refuses to relinquish his hold on her heart. Worst of all, it becomes painfully obvious that her father is not the upright man he appears to be.
As family secrets come to light, Elizabeth is faced with a difficult choice: to do her duty and abandon her dreams, or to leave her life of privilege behind to chase the man her father sees as little better than a pirate.
From the first emotional page, author Christine Johnson throws readers into a world of impossible choices, hidden desires, and heart-melting romance in the steamy south. Readers will cheer for Elizabeth and Rourke as they battle the odds and the elements to secure their future.
