Resumen del Editor

A Virginia chocolatier and a privateering sea captain collide once more after a failed love affair a decade before. Will a war and a cache of regrets keep them apart? Or will a new shared vision reunite them?

It is 1755, and the threat of war with France looms over colonial York, Virginia. Chocolatier Esmée Shaw is fighting her own battle of the heart. Having reached her 28th 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 Esmée. 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?

Best-selling 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.

Excellent!!!

Thank You, Laura Frantz, for another superior book. Thank you for all your research and effort that have gone into the completion of this story. I’ve gained a lot of spiritual strength and historical information from all your writings. I look forward to your next adventure in literature.

Tender second chance romance

Twists and turns abound in this clean pre-American colonial romance. This tender love story is presented well.

Twists and Turns

Set before the Revolutionary war. A young chocolatier and a privateer head into trouble on land and sea as they find their way back to each other. The whole family takes part. There is major sadness, and there is life.

It was ok

Nice story. Good performance. Just right for light listening. I believe I got it at a reduced price which was good.

Wonderful Story!

I loved listening to A Heart Adrift! Laura Frantz has a wonderful way of bringing her characters and the era to life. Well done and highly recommended!

Beautiful love story

I loved the characters in this eighteenth century novel. I could almost taste the chocolate!

I love Esme and Henri’s Story!

Beyond the beautiful book cover, this historical romance set in 18th century Virginia is a well written story that steals your heart from beginning to end. With a swoony sea captain, a beautiful chocolatier, and an island lighthouse, this second chance romance embraces all of the elements of a great love story while also including a host of historical details and a beautiful spiritual arc.

I read this book with both the ebook and audiobook and thoroughly enjoyed Barbara McCulloh’s interpretation of Henri and the other characters. Although she falls out of character here in there, her intonations and diction added an authentic flair to the story and gave life to a broad cast of characters.

This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language.

Sweet(chocolate) Salty(evil) Enduring( love)

This book had all and more. I love how Mrs. Frantz captured the past as if she was once there in that timeframe. I bought the audiobook version which is better than watching TV. What a well written book! Worth the wait. 50 stars out of 5 😃

Wow!!! Truly one of the best I have read

I am an avid reader and listener of books. My new favorite author and narrator

Too much extra

Very long story....too much as it takes away from the storyline. was a good story though.
