Love Held Captive (A Lone Star Hero’s Love Story) by Shelley Shepard Gray
I have read many books by this author and I absolutely loved this one as well, even though it’s different from her other Amish fiction books. The characters were great-I really enjoyed Lizbeth and Julianne; and Major Ethan Kelly and Captain Devin Monroe’s war friendship. This story is set during the after the war between the states. There are tragic war events that happen during this book but there are alot of great events, including romance, as well.
I really enjoyed the interesting steady plot-highly recommend!
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
About the Book:
After the War Between the States, a Confederate officer longs to heal the heart of a beautiful woman—but first he’ll have to right the wrongs that were done to her.
Major Ethan Kelly has never been able to absolve himself of the guilt he feels for raiding a woman’s home shortly before he was taken prisoner during the Civil War. He is struggling to get through each day until he once again crosses paths with Lizbeth Barclay—the very woman he is trying to forget.
Life after the war is not much different for former Captain Devin Monroe until he meets Julianne VanFleet. He knows she is the woman he’s been waiting for, but he struggles to come to terms with the sacrifices she made to survive the war.
When Ethan and Devin discover that their former colonel, Adam Bushnell, is responsible for both Lizbeth’s and Julianne’s pain, they call on their former fellow soldiers to hunt him down. As the men band together to earn the trust of the women they love, Lizbeth and Julianne seek the justice they deserve in a country longing to heal.
