He’s been tasked to protect her, but his heart has become far too involved.

Angelina de la Fuente Delgado, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, is on her way home from a trip to Spain when her ship is attacked by pirates. The brigands capture her and her aunt and steal all the merchandise on the ship. After forcing most of the crew to walk the plank, they sink the vessel into the Atlantic.

Brian O’Doule was sent by Angelina’s father to protect her, but keeping her safe among the dangers of the sea is as hard as concealing his love that’s been growing for years. When they’re kidnapped by pirates, he does everything in his power to protect the women and to find a way for them all to escape. Will Angelina ever see her home and her beloved father again? Or will she be forced to marry the fierce pirate captain?

More from Lena

I’ve been a lover of history for decades. In college and graduate school, all my elective courses were history. Of course, I chose the countries and eras I wanted to learn about. When I began writing novels, my first one was a contemporary story. After that at least 75% or more of my novels have been historical, all the way from 1805 through the early 21st century.

 

Several decades ago, I read about a tavern in New Orleans that had been there since the late 1700s. I found that fascinating, so I researched it and found the history of the place interesting. It was Pirate’s Prize. I don’t know if it is still there after all the recent hurricanes.

 

When I was writing A Heart’s Forever Home, book 3 in my Love’s Road Home series, I wrote some of the heroine’s family history from the characters in A Heart’s Rescue. If you read book 3, you’ll be glad to learn even more about those characters who were ancestors of some of the characters in book 3.

My Thoughts 

 A Heart’s Rescue is book 4 in the Love's Road Home Series. The series is written by Lena Nelson Dooley. I have not read the whole series, and I had no problems following along. One of the things that I love about this author is the way that she can transport you back in time. She does such great research and you feel like you are standing there watching it unfold. It has been awhile since I have read a book about pirates. I was drawn in within the first few pages. 

Angelina and her aunt are surprised while they are on Angelina's father's ship and pirates come aboard. Brian, who is an apprentice on the ship has been tasked with watching over them. He feels like he failed when they are all taken prisoner. Brian can translate from Spanish to French. He wants to try and rescue the women who have been taken elsewhere - and we are set off on adventure to watch this happen. 

The author did a great job writing in the lesson of forgiveness, having courage and trusting in God. This book is a great read. I felt like I learned a lot about pirates while reading. The characters are well written. Thank you to the author, publisher and Celebrate Lit for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.
