Love’s Rescue
by Christine Johnson takes place in the Key West during 1850. This is a story of a young woman, Elizabeth,
coming home after her mother has passed away to help take care of her father
and crippled brother. Leaving her home
four years earlier after the devastation of a hurricane and her brother’s
accident, she left with her parents’ wishes to find a suitable spouse. However, her heart was already involved with
a wrecker by the name of Rourke O’Malley.
Returning to the Key’s with her
older Aunt and still unmarried, she does not receive the homecoming she was
hoping for. Her family, still intent to
see her married to a gentleman of their choosing, Elizabeth fights her deepest
feelings for Rourke even though she knows it is useless to give up on him. Facing an unhappy future, Elizabeth discovers
family secrets that turn her world upside down, and she realizes she may not have
known her mother and father well at all.
Infused with family secrets,
history, adventure on the high seas, issues with slavery, and romance, this
story has a beautiful message of what love is and what love can sacrifice and
forgive. I received a copy for an
honest review from Revell Publishing and the opinions are my own.
