The Captain’s Daughter by Jennifer Delamere.
I haven’t read anything by Jennifer Delamere before, and it’s been quite a while since I read any Christian fiction, but I was eager for a feel-good, quick read. On top of that, the cover caught my eye…you know, the very best reason to purchase something!
I have to say, it was exactly what I was looking for.
A lovely love story about two people who are doing their best to live by their faith, even when times get challenging. It wasn’t “too preachy” which I know sometimes happens in such a specific genre. But it was a nice reminder that God’s plan will take us precisely where we need to be when we are willing and obedient in following Him.
Delamere’s writing flows really well, making it very enjoyable to read. I often found myself smiling at the book as I made my way through the dialog…like when we talk to or laugh at the TV knowing full well that the characters can’t hear us.
I also like that it was readable in a day, albeit a day in which I didn’t accomplish too much else (like the Christmas un-decorating, the grocery shopping after being away for two full weeks, or the myriad of tasks on my MUST GET DONE LIST (this is the evil twin bother to my normal To Do List).
All in all, I give it a very solid 3 stars *** and I can easily recommend reading it.
Enjoy!
With love and hugs,
