I need to start by telling you that this is the second book in a series. I did not read the first book so I am missing some background. It did not take away from the plot or characters. I did not like Amelia's mother. Besides the fact that she was a well known harlot. She was mean to her daughters. She made two of them follow her foot steps and have the same profession as her. She was ready to make Amelia a harlot as well. Amelia was not perfect either. She got pregnant, and was not married. She knew that this would make her destitute, and that her life would be over. She did the only thing she could. The father of her unborn baby is finally somewhere that she can confront him. That only makes it more difficult when he dumps her in front of a bunch of people at a party. I would have been extremely embarrassed. In a time when women had very little rights, and really no way to live on their own, Amelia is still strong. She was ready to get a job and do what she had to do. However at her lowest moment she was sent a gift. Her gift was Eric. Eric is not perfect either. He is kind and willing to take Amelia away from her shame to America. I liked that Amelia was running to America to start a family like so many people in the past. What she did not expect was the want to be Eric's wife, and not just for the other shipmates. She is not ready to risk her heart again though and it will cost her. Eric does not get her at all and he is so confused. He finally figures out who is responsible for the downfall of his farm. However will these two hearts make room for each other? I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review from Orange Berry Book Tours. However all opinions are my own.- See more at: [...]
