The Shipbuilder’s Wife

De: Jennifer Moore

Narrado por: Luone Ingram

The day of her parents’ garden party dawns bright as Lydia Prescott eagerly anticipates a marriage proposal from a handsome and wealthy plantation owner. The lovely debutante plans to steal a moment away with her beau, but her plans go terribly awry. Instead of her intended, she is joined by a stranger - the largest man she’s ever laid eyes on. And it is clear Jacob Steele is there for reasons far more sober than the party. With British raids erupting all around them, it is his job to reassure plantation owners of their safety. In reality, however, Jacob is an espionage agent, and the truth is dire: America is on the verge of invasion by the British. Blissfully unaware of the danger surrounding her, Lydia basks in the glow of her recent engagement. But her joy is short-lived - a surprise British attack results in a devastating wound, and her plans for the future are shattered. Lost in her devastation, Lydia could never dream that Jacob, that giant of a man she met so briefly, would prove to be her saving grace. And with a war raging around them, she may be called upon to save him too.

Enjoyable Historical Fiction!

I enjoyed listening to this story. I didn't like how long the distrust between Lydia and Jacob lasted, however Jennifer Moore tied in this conflict in to the suspicion that would have occurred during the war of 1812. I enjoyed this historical fiction novel and the realities of war that are exposed in it! I would recommend this book!

Not my favorite

Pretty good but the richness of storytelling was not there. The characters were not as well developed as other books that I have read. The plot also jumped and I found myself confused for a moment.
