GoodReads Review


 

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭑

Romance, clean, Regency; mild Christian faith elements


Lovely romance with Captain Charles Wyvern and Lady Sophia (Sophie) told so well. While the plot was easy to guess, the specifics with sailing, the naval scenes, the war wounds, the situation with relatives, the wards, and the whole scope of the novel, was just so well put together, I didn't mind the easy guess as to where the plot was heading. Strong depictions of many of the supporting characters, and of the depth of Charles' naval situation, and his love of the sea, make for a stunning, and deeply moving portrait of a naval officer in a transition point of his career. Sophie's situation with her 'mother-in-law', her devotion to her and Rich's memory, reminded me of the story of Ruth from the Bible. 


The grieving of many people in the novel for Major Richardson was also so well described and detailed. It was so deeply written in the characters hearts in a believable, and heartfelt manor, an incredible tribute to them, and their devotion to him as well as his character and person.


Charles and Sophie were such wonderful characters, their thoughts, emotions, doubts, and of course, their sweet and lovely feelings for each other that gradually developed and deepened over the course of the novel was a story that lingers and that I know I will re-read. This is my favorite type of novel, deeply human, good, kind, devoted, and human characters with honest hearts that develop that love for each other. E.V. portrayal of these characters is so very well drawn. Bonus that she uses some great vocabulary, very naturally in the text! She is an author I know I will always enjoy reading, and one that in my busy life, make time to re-read.

"The Widows of Somerset" Timeless Romance Regency Collection

  The Widows of Somerset Timeless Romance Regency Collection GoodReads Review   ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Romance, clean, period; series, but stand alone read      Lovely regency period novella collection.  All told from alternating points of view.  It was nice to see both MC thoughts and feelings as they interacted and 'found' each other. Basic premise for all is woman widowed moving to Somerset and joining with Lady Joanna's society for widows to help them stand on their own, gain financial independence, and learn how to have more control over their finances and their futures. Plus, some great H in the mix too!       I loved RC first novella in the series. For me the strongest voice of this group of novellas in terms of voicing and consistent flow.  All of them had strong MC and some good side characters.  The setting and integrating Lady Joanna and the other widows in each story was cleverly done, and consistent betwee...

"Is It Any Wonder: A Nantucket Love Story" by Courtney Walsh

 Is It Any Wonder: A Nantucket Love Story Courtney Walsh GoodReads Review    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Romance, clean, contemporary; Christian faith elements Louisa/Lou and Cody's story, entangled in their past, and their families past, was masterfully told. Themes of faith, and forgiveness weigh heavily in this novel. It is a Romance too though, as they have shared a young love in the past that was so much a part of their lives growing up, and the tragedy that separated them as young adults leaving home after graduating from high school. A mistake of Louisa's, and near tragedy brings them together, and as they are put together through various events and circumstances, their hearts open to each other again. C.W. knows how to write troubles without them becoming so overly dramatic to be unbelievable in this novel. This is the perfect addition to this series. The sweet tender hearts, the angst and worry with all the family issues and personal issues, and of course, their working th...
