Love's Fortune

September 1, 2014

Since her mother died a few years ago, it has just been Wren Ballantyne and her father, spending many enjoyable nights together playing music on the fiddles they built themselves. But their simple life in Kentucky is disrupted when her father is called back to his family's estate in New Hope, PA. Suddenly thrust into a high society world enjoyed by a privileged family, Wren isn't sure she fits in, or even wants to. But with two different men vying for her heart, how can she be sure that her judgment is sound? VERDICT Set during the 1850s, Frantz's final entry in the Ballantyne saga (following Love's Awakening) is an exciting tale about the promise of love that will satisfy series fans with its historical details and sympathetic characters. It will also appeal to readers who enjoy inspirational and historical romances.--Shondra Brown, Wakarusa P.L., IN
