He is forced to make a heartrending choice between his child and the woman who has begun to capture his heart. But only his unselfish sacrifice can win him the greatest prize of all: love.
The history. The immediate draw of the characters. The what-if questions that bombarded after my first reading of the back cover copy.
Brogan is quite a character, all-man, but Lorena matches him. The banter between the two was a lot of fun to read and brought many a smile to my face. Plus I’m an absolute die-hard fan of having young children in the forefront of novels — they make things so much fun! Brogan’s son is no exception. A dear darling, he captured my heart before his father did.
I liked how this book fulfilled some expectations, while dashing others. For one thing, this book went nowhere that I thought it would. A long voyage? Not really. But what did bring the characters out to sea was entirely unexpected. So while I grappled for a moment with wanting what I had thought I would find between the pages, in the end, the way the author brought loose threads (and secrets!) together proved satisfying and entertaining.
This book was crafted by a talented author with a love for language and detail. Prize of My Heart truly put me in the time and place and that’s what makes me love historical fiction, so for those who love the genre like I do, check this one out!
