Emphatic 5 Star Read!
Set in 1755
along the cold Virginia Coast, Captain Henri Lennox, an old love returns from
the sea hoping to avoid chocolatier Esmee Shaw.
Circumstances throw them back together and we are swept up in chocolate
making, merchant ships, a private coastal island, officials in white periwigs
seeking their own gain, social engagements of the upper crust, and ill-treatment
of those in the almshouse.
“Chocolate’s becoming the beverage of choice
for colonists,” Esmee said, “if for no other reason than the Crown’s infernal
tax on tea.”
“Dear Lord, let it be our earnest prayer to serve Thee better day by day as we grow in grace and trust Thee for our wants in soul and body. For these and all Thy blessings, God’s holy name be praised for Christ’s sake. Amen.”
This story is so rich in detail, prayer, love, action, and more. The cover is stunning and I highly recommend it. Laura Frantz is a master craftswoman with the written word.
I appreciate the gifted book I received from the author and publisher. All
opinions are my own without compensation or expectation.
