Surrender, My Love

River of Dreams #1

by Heather Webber

After her father's death leaves her family penniless and homeless, Alex Parker hopes to profit from her family's sole remaining possession, an aging steamboat called Amazing Grace. With the funds from this sale, she can buy back her family home. But she needs a captain and no one on the river wants to work for a woman. Needing help, she turns to Captain Matthew Kinkade, a man who wants the boat for himself, a man whose desperation drives him to agree to Alex's outrageous plan of marriage in name only. The love Matt and Alex find aboard Amazing Grace is powerful, but is it strong enough to withstand her insecurities, his tragic past, and the violent acts of a man out to destroy them both?

Reviews

[Keri · Rating 4 out of 5]

The time setting is just before 1900, where the steamboats were on there way out. This was a sweet, light read with just kissing. This is the first of a 3 sister trilogy, in a lovely small hardbacked format. Matthew is a captain with a dark past and a bruised heart. Alexandra is a woman looking for the right man to love and start a family with. They made a wonderful couple and I look forward to the next books.

Thoroughly enjoyed this one... So much so that I read it in 1 day.

[Brittany Barron · Rating 1 out of 5]

Historical romance. Cheesy, forced dialogue … predictable.

I love her more recent books, this one, not so much.
