Web of Destiny

The Kane Legacy #2

by Al Lacy, JoAnna Lacy

The Kane Legacy: faith, love, courage, and strength. In nineteenth-century Texas, they’re going to need it.


Alan Kane lost a beloved brother at the Alamo and grieves terribly. His one consolation is that he will be reunited with Adam someday in heaven. Meanwhile the United States seems to be caught in a web of destiny to fight Mexico. When General Sam Houston prepares to face off against General Santa Anna, the three remaining Kane brothers volunteer once again, leaving their heavy-hearted wives on the Diamond K Ranch. Who will return this time when the guns are silent and the dust has settled?

Can Alan let go of his brother Adam and freely love the woman he left behind? Can the Kane men make a difference in the war that threatens to destroy all they’ve worked to build? And will peace ever be theirs amid the rages of war?

Spanning a decade in the lives of the Kane family, Web of Destiny follows a loving Christian family through victory, loss, guilt, tears, and valor. It will stir the heart of anyone who has ever loved, lost, or sacrificed for a cause.

So far so good, I was a little afraid from the cover that this would be one of those Harlequin Romance novel types, but it is just the opposite, in fact there is a lot of Christianity in them, they are always praying and thanking God. And there is a lot of History too. I am not really a history buff, but it is nice to have a reason to read along.

Okay, so I am done with this book. I did like it, however, a warning: This book is highly religious, if that bothers you, you probably should not read it (duh). Other than that I was really hanging on for the love story, as those of you that know me, know that I DO NOT LIKE HISTORY (and that is an understatement). When the love story was over about 100 pages before the book was, it was all I could do to hold on just for the sake of history, but I did, and it ended well, and I learned more that I EVER wanted to know about the Mexico/Texas war. I would recommend especially if you like romance, history, or both!

I typically enjoy historical fiction but this one was rather cheesy and redundant. Much of what I read just did not seem realistic to the time period.

Stilted writing.
