ABOUT THE BOOK

River pirates, a stolen steamboat, and a deadly chase down the Mississippi—but falling in love might be the real adventure.

When river pirates attack and steal his steamboat, Emmett Carter barely escapes. Rescued and transported to a magnificent world of glitz and showbiz aboard a flashy showboat, Emmett is immediately captivated by something more than recovering his lost inheritance—The River Queen’s beautiful, but quirky, songbird.

 Anola Flynn, the star singer on The River Queen, is struggling to keep the business running as attendance dwindles during the 1923 season. With her dreams of saving the family legacy—and the only life she’s ever known—slipping away, she forges an alliance with Emmett to keep her family afloat.

 Now, to outsmart the gangsters chasing them, Anola and Emmett must wade through a dark current of deception and betrayal to save not only their dreams, but everyone they care about, from sinking deeper into the Mississippi River.

MY THOUGHTS

The River Queen is the first book in the River Romances series.


The author has written books on several subjects and does it so well. This is such an exciting one!


You won’t find a slow or mundane read here! This is a fun and energetic read filled with river pirates, gangsters and smugglers.

A rather unique story of life on a riverboat, I found myself fascinated with the glitz and glamour of life on the flashy showboat.


If you’re looking for action, how about a chase down the Mighty Mississippi? Filled with intriguing situations, mystery, excitement and of course romance.

Looking forward to the next exciting book in this series.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.

The Swindler’s Daughter by Stephenia H. McGee A surprise inheritance. A cache of family secrets. A choice that will change her life forever.

352 pages publication date May 2,2023 Revell Publisher

ABOUT THE BOOK

Lillian Doyle has lived her entire high-society life with her widowed mother, believing her father died long ago. But when news arrives that her estranged father only recently passed away–in jail–Lillian is startled to find that the man has left a business and all of his possessions to her, making her a rather unusual heiress.

When she goes to take possession of her father’s house in a backwoods Georgia town, the dilapidated structure is already occupied by another woman who claims it was promised to her son, Jonah. In her attempts to untangle the mess, Lillian will discover not only a family she never knew she had but a family business that is more than meets the eye–and has put a target on her back.

To discover the truth and take hold of the independence she’s always dreamed of, she’ll have to make friends with adversaries and strangers–especially Jonah, the dusty and unrefined cowboy who has secret aspirations of his own.

MY THOUGHTS

I have enjoyed every book I’ve read by this author. I would have to say my favorite character is Lillian. She really comes into her own her growing in maturity, strength and spiritually.


She has a real awakening in the start of the book, her mother was not forthcoming with important information about Lillian’s life and it really throw’s Lillian for a loop. She has some very important decisions to make. Decisions that set her on the track to maturity, forgiveness and wisdom. These decisions were not made without spiritual guidance.


I enjoyed the setting, and the transformation of the house was such a joy to read about.
The mystery running through the story was not too much and it added such an intriguing back drop to the story. Faith filled and encouraging, I enjoyed the story a lot. I think the romance was light and just right for the time period.

Some surprising twists and turns will keep your attention as you’ll want to keep reading and not put this one down.
