Love's Guiding Light

by

Andrea Boeshaar

Amanda Lewis is about to lose the only home she's ever known--the cottage at the North Point Light in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her mother had received the commission to operate the lighthouse, but tragedy rips away that commission. 

Captain Ezra Danfield is new to the city. He plans to give his daughter stability, which includes a home and proper schooling. But a violent storm on Lake Michigan threatens their lives on the night of their arrival, and it’s Amanda Lewis, operating the North Point Light, who guides them safely into Milwaukee's harbour. He makes a point to thank her, and when she asks for his help, Ezra cannot refuse. 

However, Amanda has a few cockamamie ideas that could ruin her life, so Ezra must put a stop to them--even if it means shedding light on the darkest recesses of his heart and soul.

Review

Love's Guiding Light is my first book to read by this author. She immediately captured my interest with this storyline. I enjoyed the author's way of using the characters, romance and the historic information and it's fabulous. The book is well-written and well-developed and the author's writing is marvelous. I highly recommend to read Love's Guiding Light By Author Andrea Boeshaar.

I received a copy from the author, but was not required to review it. This review is one hundred percent my opinion.

Description

Journey into the Shenandoah Valley of 1816 where...
With Nothing Left, 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 about current laws, and despite a poor start, the two are becoming friends.

Then, while Mac is away on business, Lily is faced with the impossible decision of marrying a man twice her age or she and her brothers becoming homeless, as her late father gambled away their home and acreage. But with debts being called in, will Lily be forced to choose a loveless marriage just when she is discovering what true love could be? What can she possibly do? Will Mac return in time to spare Lily a lifetime of unhappiness?

My Review

Thanks to Netgalley for my review copy.

This book is set just after the war of 1812, we see Captain McAlister “Mac” Albright wanting a change from being a sea captain and see he has bought a parcel of land. Only issue is Lillyanna Laughlin believes she still owns the land Mac bought. Lilly and her siblings have a guardian who has sold the land. We also find out there is more to the story as it unravels.

I enjoyed the story and seeing what would happen next. It has some good secondary characters who almost steal some scenes. I love that there is mystery in the story. I am really enjoying this series. If you like Historical I am sure you will like this book.
