GOD's daughter

The Innkeeper's Daughter What an entertaining, awesome, adventurous, mysterious, romantic and Faithful book. There is a traitor to the Crown and Alexander is out to find out who while staying at Johanna's family Inn. I have to say this author is unreal - she is able to make the characters come to life off the pages and into your imagination. I really hope that I have the privilege to review her next book because this one was out of bounds - it was that good. I received a copy of this book from the Publisher and Netgalley; all of the opinions expressed in this review are all my own. if you would like to read more of my Christian book reviews go to christianlybookreviewers.blogspot.com - I look forward to seeing you there.

Romance and Intrigue in Regency England

The Innkeeper's Daughter by Michelle Griep tells a great regency romance story. Set in England in the early 1800s, there is action, intrigue, and romance enough to keep the pages turning quickly. Heroine Johanna is determinedly trying to hold her life together--a falling apart tavern/inn in a rough part of Dover, a young scamp of a brother to keep tabs on and a mam with physical limitations and secrets of her own to keep. Will Jo ever understand that trusting God may be the answer and that He places value on her, not for what she can do but by virtue of His grace? A new tenant comes to stay, Alex, a Bow Street Runner, with a secret mission to accomplish. Why is he taking such an interest in her family? What does he want in return? He begins to consume her thoughts and dreams and yet how can she trust a deceiver, a gambler, a rake, a rogue? And on his part, his heart was hers from the minute she fell into his arms and yet he was promised to another. The author expertly brings a marvelous story to the written page as she tells this compelling tale of smugglers and gamblers, a ventriloquist and traveling musicians, and a desperate family. The colorful characters are believable and the reader quickly gets caught up in their story. Tension runs high as the villains are not revealed until the explosive ending! The Innkeeper's Daughter is an action-packed story with twists and turns and is a great read for those who love a good historical romance! I received a complimentary copy of the book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review. The opinions are my own.

Spies and a hard working woman

Johanna Langley and her mother run a decrepit inn. They have the rent due and the hearth payment due at the same time. Johanna is desperate to pay the bills, because she fears being sent to the poorhouse and her mother and little brother being homeless. Officer Alex Morton (Moore) is undercover as a gambler to catch a traitor to the crown. He finds himself falling in love with Johanna and wanting to help her and her family with their troubles. Alex has all kinds of contact with unsavory men who give him messages. He never knows who or what is next in his life. A good book, deserves a place on my favorite books shelf.
