Customer Review by ThanktheLordforbooks (Verified Purchase) September 22, 2018
Wow! What a glowing review. Thank you, ThanktheLordforbooks, for this review! That was very sweet of you. I alway feel honored when a reader takes the time to leave a review for one of my books.
HER HONORABLE ENEMY is book 1 in my Island Hearts series set on the San Juan Islands in Washington State.
FOR CHARLES YOUNG, ALL’S FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR
The British soldier scorns the trappings of society life—including a society wife. So a posting in the remote San Juan Islands is perfect for him. But when an American girl crosses enemy lines, she turns his structured world upside down.
As smart as she is fetching, Rachel Thompson’s only experience with romance is the books she devours. But her father is determined that his spirited daughter make a suitable match. And a British officer could never be suitable. Can this real-life Romeo and Juliet triumph over the odds…or will their romance trigger the unthinkable—war?
When I visited the San Juan Islands with my mom and sisters and learned about the Pig War, I knew I had to set a story during this time in Washington State history.
I call the twelve-year Pig War the War That Wasn’t, because the two sides were friendly and the only casualty was the Berkshire Boar. You can read more about how the British and Americans almost went to war over a dead pig in my post HERE.
I love learning about quirky bits of history and love it more when I can incorporate them into a story. Things like this make history so much fun.

THE DAUGHTER'S PREDICAMENT (Book 2 in the Quilting Circle series )
Can a patient love win her heart?
As Isabelle Atwood’s romance prospects are turning in her favor, a family scandal derails her dreams. While making a quilt for her own hope chest, Isabelle’s half-sister becomes pregnant out of wedlock and Isabelle--always the unfavored daughter--becomes the family sacrifice to save face. Despite gaining the attention of a handsome rancher, her parents are pressuring her to marry a man of their choosing to rescue her sister’s reputation. A third suitor waits silently in the wings, hoping for his own chance at love. Isabelle ends up with three marriage proposals, but this only further confuses her decision.
A handsome rancher, a stranger, and an unseen suitor are all waiting for an answer. Isabelle loves her sister, but will she really allow herself to be manipulated into a marriage without love? Will Isabelle capitulate and marry the man her parents wish her to, or will she rebel and marry the man they don’t approve of? Or will the man leaving her secret love poems sweep her off her feet?
