Peterson Hits the Bestseller Lists Again and Again!
Emmalyne Knox and Tavin MacLachlan were destined to be together . . . until the tragic deaths of Emmalyne’s youngest sisters. Family tradition mandates that the youngest daughter should remain single to care for her parents in their old age, and now that daughter is Emmalyne. Her father unyielding, Emmalyne surrenders to her duty, heartbroken. Tavin leaves town, equally devastated.
Years later, Emmalyne’s family moves, and she and Tavin meet again. Their feelings for each other are as strong as ever, but their painful past and Emmalyne’s father still stand between them. Soon both families are in the midst of the growing conflict rising between the workers at the granite quarry that Tavin’s father owns and operates. When a series of near-fatal accidents occur, Tavin must figure out who is behind the attacks before someone gets killed.
Bound by obligation, yet yearning for a future together, can Emmalyne and Tavin dare to dream that God could heal a decade-long wound and change the hearts of those who would stand in the way of true love?
My thoughts:
This is my first time reading a historical fiction book, so I didn’t know what to expect really but I have to say that I really enjoyed this book. Since this book is a part of a series I expected to feel like I was missing something but I was wrong. This book was a stand alone and it was a great early summer read. Once I picked up the book and started reading I couldn’t put it down. I was so drawn into that era and the characters I felt like I had been transported back in time. My motto is that any good book that an make you feel like you know the characters is one worth reading and definitely worth sharing. This book will definitely make the rounds with all my sisters and friends because it’s a very good read. Be sure to add it to your summer reading list this year or if you know someone who is a fan of fiction novels grab them a copy.
