No More Sea

This book is from the Heartsong Presents historical series, sweet historical romances in various settings with an inspirational theme. This particular book is set during the voyage of the Titanic in 1912. Twenty-four-year old ship's stewardess Esther Mason is tired of waiting. For several years, she has had a relationship with fellow steward John Addison. But John is reluctant to give up the life at sea, and Esther wonders if he will ever want to marry her and settle down; it always seems to be just "one more voyage." Now, they have both been assigned to work in first class on the maiden voyage of the Titanic, and Esther knows she won't be able to avoid John forever; they need to find out where their relationship really stands. Meanwhile, Esther finds herself becoming involved with Philip Winslow, a wealthy passenger in first class. Philip had led something of a wild life, but finds himself drawn to Esther and wanting to become a better man for her. John sees what he thinks is a relationship developing between Philip and Esther, and fears the worst. Esther struggles to decide the right course for her life as the Titanic sails toward tragedy. This was a pretty good historical romance that should appeal to readers fascinated by the story of the Titanic. It was rather predictable; it was pretty obvious to me what Esther's final choice would be. However, it's not really any more predictable than other romance novels. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy a sweet romance and who love to read books set on the Titanic.
