Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

Ah, Laura Frantz is one of my all-time favorite authors, so I'm super excited that A Heart Adrift is the CFD Buddy Read for May!

Summary:
It is 1755, and the threat of war with France looms over colonial York, Virginia. Chocolatier Esmee Shaw is fighting her own battle of the heart. Having reached her twenty-eighth birthday, she is reconciled to life alone after a decade-old failed love affair from which she's never quite recovered. But she longs to find something worthwhile to do with her life.

Captain Henri Lennox has returned to port after a lengthy absence, intent on completing the lighthouse in the dangerous Chesapeake Bay, a dream he once shared with Esmee. But when the colonial government asks him to lead a secret naval expedition against the French, his future is plunged into uncertainty.

Will a war and a cache of regrets keep them apart, or can their shared vision and dedication to the colonial cause heal the wounds of the past? Bestselling and award-winning author Laura Frantz whisks you away to a time fraught with peril--on the sea and in the heart--in this redemptive, romantic story.

I have started this and I am really enjoying it. Anyone else reading it?

I hope so, Katrina! It’s an excellent book - I loved it!

I have this one on wait, so it may be next month before I get to it.

I just finished this book. For the first probably third of the book, I kept thinking this was not my style of book. But I kept reading and I am so glad I did! By the end, I was totally engrossed in the story.

I am reading this now. It also took me a little bit to get into it, but am enjoying it.

I finished the book today. I loved it so much. Such a great book. Had Jane Austen Persuasion vibes, but then had so much more in it. I liked both her jobs as Chocolatier and Lightkeeper. There were some really beautiful descriptions in the book. I hope it gets a sequel.

Started this one today. :)

I actually read this on my own this month, and then I found this group! Lol

I first came across Laura Frantz's work in January with The Rose and the Thistle, which I absolutely adored. I'm now on a mission to read all her books.

A Heart Adrift was a wonderful read, 4 ⭐️ from me. I didn't love it as much as TRATT, but it was still a great story. I won't say much, to avoid spoilers for those still reading, but the romance really builds over the course of the whole novel and is completely engrossing from the middle to the end. Enjoy!

I also recommend A Bound Heart by Frantz as well!

I finally finished this today and enjoyed it! The characters and plot are so well written!
