About the Book

In 1783 peace has been declared, but war still rages in the heart of Lark Benton.

Never did Lark think she’d want to escape Emerson Fielding, the man she’s loved all her life. But when he betrays her, she flees Williamsburg for Annapolis, taking refuge in the nation’s temporary capital. There Lark throws herself into a new circle of friends who force her to examine all she believes.

Emerson follows, determined to reclaim his betrothed. Surprised when she refuses to return with him, he realizes that in this new nation he has come to call his own, duty is no longer enough. He must learn to open his heart and soul to something greater—before he loses all he should have been fighting to hold.

(Previously published as Love Finds You in Annapolis, Maryland)

My Thoughts

A Heart's Revolution begins right after the American Revolution has ended. But the turmoil raging in Lark's heart has only just begun.

Raised to be the very model of a "proper" young woman, Lark has had to suppress the REAL Lark for far too long. Emerson is a cad and I honestly couldn't stand him for most of the book. BUT, he is a perfect example of what love and forgiveness (and a little nudging from God) can turn a person into. 

I was so proud of Lark. Her determination to be who God created her to be. Granted it took some serious circumstances to pull it out of her, but once she realised WHO she wanted to be and WHAT she wanted in life...there was no stopping her! And there is no going back. 

Filled with historical figures, lovable supporting characters, loyal families, swoon-worthy romance, and trust and faith in God...You will be swept away by this story.

I received a complimentary copy of A Heart's Revolution from the author. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

The Creole Princess - Gulf Coast Cronicles Book 2 - Beth White

Lyse is caught in the middle of the strife between countries during the Revolutionary war. Not just the British and the Americans, but the French and the Spanish as well. Don Rafael seems as mysterious as his comings and goings. Whose side is he really on, and can he be trusted? Lyse's best friend is the daughter of a British commander, but where do her loyalties truly lie? Caught between loyalties to family and country, what path will Lyse choose?

The Revolutionary War is a part of history we should all know. But I have never considered the effect that it had on the colonies on the Gulf coast. The colonies that remained loyal to Britain. The Creole Princess is a wonderfully unique book about a chapter of our country's history that is not very well known. Beth White has opened my eyes to the involvement of the Spanish's help with the American's fight for freedom. Lyse's journey is also one of hope and faith. Trusting in God to lead us down the right path and that He knows what is best for us.
