“To Capture Her Heart” by Rebecca DeMarino review and giveaway

To Capture Her Heart: A Novel (The Southold Chronicles #2) by Rebecca DeMarino

Indian Princess Heather Flower is captured right at the beginning of the book and forced to watch her fiancee die. She is rescued by Dutchman Dirk who is very caring and thoughtful towards her and brings her home. As the book unfolds, the readers get a glimpse into the rich history during that time, and many characters through out the book. Will Heather find love again, and who will she choose when she has 2 men who care for her?

I did not read book 1 of the Southold Chronicles so I was pretty lost with all of the characters mentioned in this book. This story was too slow of a pace for me, so I had a hard time enjoying it. However, I did love reading about the Native American history, as well as the English and Dutch during the time period of mid 1650s. This book was rich with historical facts and images.

I would consider “To Capture Her Heart” to be a clean, historical fiction, romance book.

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.

About the Book:
It is 1653 and Heather Flower, a princess of the Montauk tribe, is enjoying her wedding feast when her groom is killed and she is kidnapped by a rival tribe and held for ransom. Though her ransom is paid by an Englishman, she is nonetheless left to die in a Connecticut forest–until she finds herself rescued by handsome Dutch Lieutenant Dirk Van Buren. Torn between her affection for Dirk and her long friendship with family friend Benjamin Horton, Heather Flower must make a difficult choice–stay true to her friend or follow her heart.

Exploring a unique slice of history, Rebecca DeMarino transports readers to the wild land that would eventually become Long Island, New York. Her attention to detail and her captivating storytelling bring the New World to vivid life.
