Seaside Romance to Carry Readers Away By Rambling Reader "Love's Rescue" is a seaside romance written to carry readers away to the sweltering Florida Keys on waves of intrigue and emotion. I enjoyed this book, but it didn't leave a lasting impression on me. The novel caught my attention at the beginning, both in the prologue and through the first few chapters when the perils of life at sea and in the historic Florida Keys are brought to life in vivid detail. From hurricanes to shipwrecks, Christine Johnson showcases Key West in a historic light. The snippets of Key West and seafaring history were highlights of the novel.There was potential for "Love's Rescue" to venture into deep emotional waters. The plot dips into topics like physical disability, slavery, and deceit just enough to add interest to the plot, but it never ventured as far below the surface as I hoped. Likewise, there were a few characters who I wanted to know better, especially Elizabeth's brother, Charlie. Elizabeth is a heroine that is both likeable and frustrating. There were many times that I wanted her to follow her heart rather than the guidance of others. Rourke is a stand-out character, and definitely a hero that readers will find dashing and romantic."Love's Rescue" is a pleasurable read set beside the alluring and tempestuous ocean. Johnson promises more romance and adventure as the "Keys of Promise" series continues.I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell through Net Galley. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions expressed above are my own.

By Christian Fiction and More I selected Love’s Rescue to review mainly due to its setting, Key West, Florida. Having spent a lot of time in south Florida, and being interested in the history of the area, I found this book very appealing. Well, I got way more than I bargained for. This book really drew out my metacognitive side, making me think about the way I was thinking as I read. (Okay, maybe I’ve been reading too much about comprehension strategy instruction, but it did make me appreciate this book even more!) This book has characters you will cheer for as well as those you will love to hate. At one point I wondered to myself how I was enjoying the book so much even though I was gritting my teeth with frustration at the turn of events, and while I hate to admit it, I did take a peek at the last few pages just to make sure all was going to end well. The author gives just the right amount of information for the reader to make inferences without feeling like they came too easy, and without throwing in some new information or character from left field, allowing the reader that pleasant sense of accomplishment as the pieces of the story begin to fit together. The sights and sounds of the 1800s Key West come alive with the author’s wonderful word-smithing, backed by sound research. Elizabeth Benjamin returns to Key West after a four year absence. Having fended off all potential suitors, she anxiously waits to see what type of reception she will get from Rourke O’Malley, captain of a wrecker ship. She just didn’t anticipate her ship’s colliding into a reef being the event that would bring her face to face with Captain O’Malley. Elizabeth also has to wonder about how her father will react to her returning unwed and unbetrothed. As Elizabeth struggles to meet her obligations while remaining true to herself, she uncovers family secrets that will impact the lives of everyone within her home, and many outside of the family as well. She is faced with hard decisions and the possibility of great sacrifice. While multi-themed, the central theme that winds itself throughout the story, and brings it to a climax, is forgiveness. The author deals with the struggle we all face at one time or another, the desire to forgive in the face of a stronger desire to withhold it. Fans of historical romantic fiction will enjoy this book, even those who may not have selected a book within this genre that focuses on Christian themes. I thank Revell Publishers and Christian Fiction Blog Alliance for providing Love’s Rescue for my honest review. I did not receive any monetary compensation for a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are strictly my own.

Set in the Florida Keys just prior to the Civil War, the warm tropical descriptions and clear differences between rich and poor made me feel like I was in British India. It was different than anything I've read in a very long time, and I really liked it.Elizabeth is trying to make up for past wrongs, but has to learn that only God can control her past or future. I do wish a little more time was spent building up the romance between Rourke and Elizabeth, as it seemed like most of the story neither knew that the other liked the other. Still, the overall story of wreckers, a crippled brother, slaves and free was both appealing and fascinating.I would definitely read any future books by Christine!*I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review. No other compensation was given, and all thoughts are 100% mine.*
