| To Purchase |
Journey into the Shenandoah Valley of 1816 where...
With Very Little Left of the Family Farm, Lily May be Forced into a Loveless Marriage.
Captain McAlister “Mac” Albright has purchased land in the Shenandoah Valley. However, the land belongs to Lillyanna Laughlin—or so she erroneously thinks. Mac sets her straight and despite a poor start, the two become friends. . .if only he were financially stable to offer her more.
When Lily’s life is threatened and his whole future goes up in flames, Mac truly becomes a man without means, and Lily is forced to make the impossible choice between a loveless marriage with a man twice her age or the man who has shown her what true love could be. How can she choose between love and economic security? Her family is depending on her. Is her heart destined to break?
My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed the latest in the My Heart Belongs series. Lily’s
Dilemma was not only a page turner but a very romantic and engaging tale
about a young woman who has been dealt some harsh blows in 1816 and is now
trying to keep the rest of her family together. Lily’s father died suddenly and
unexpectedly leaving her, her aunt, and her two younger brothers. According to
her so called self-appointed guardian, they are also destitute and penniless. Being a rather well off family, Lily nor her
aunt can understand why all of a sudden they are having money woes. Hence, part
of their land has been sold to a Captain McAlister.
The first meeting between Mac and Lily was quite memorable.
Mac who has decided to not ever marry cannot stop thinking of Lily and he
always seem to be her knight in shining armor. Watching his dilemma and battle
within to finally giving in to his heart’s desire was at times frustrating and
sigh inducing.
Mr. Everett the so called guardian was a villain not at
all hard to dislike. He had such an oily way about him and seemed more harmful
than a poisonous snake. A very shady character and one that made me cringe every
time he came on the scene. Especially in regards to his plans for Lily and her
family. And just to make the story more entertaining we have a secondary love
story as well.
I haven’t read a Boeshaar novel in a while so reading her
work again was fun.
I received a complimentary copy of this book
from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
