You Won't Be Disappointed!
In every single one of her four books, Laura Frantz has never once let me down, and I am convinced that she is soon to become one of the biggest names in historical Christian fiction.
Love's Reckoning was a beautiful story of hardship, perseverance and love. You'll get swept away in the story of Eden and Silas and you'll find yourself getting angry, sad, and excited all at once. I couldn't put it down and I look forward to the rest in this series! If you've read and loved any other of Laura's books, then this is something that you need to read!

Quality Fiction
If you're looking for a book with depth and texture this is the book for you. As always, Laura Frantz delves into a time and place most of us know almost nothing about. But she's done her homework and brings York County, Pennsylvania of 1784 to life. The details draw you into every scene. Her attention to detail and realism make it possible for readers to live the story along with her characters--people you will love and hate.
I fell in love with this tale of a Scotsman, a simple tradesman, who finds himself working for a man who is determined to marry off one of his daughters to his new apprentice. Although Silas Ballantyne is "only" a tradesman, there is nothing simple about him. He is a man of courage and honor and does not take marriage lightly, nor will be be bullied into marrying anyone. I fell in love with Silas.
The daughters, Elspeth and Eden, couldn't be more different from one another. One is a perfect match for Silas, but life is complicated and dangerous. And perfection is not always what life gives us.
I highly recommend this book. It will keep you transfixed until the very last page. I spent many late nights reading just one more chapter.

I would read this again!
Love's Reckoning is a wonderful love story full of hope, despair, secrets, and faith. I loved each page as it was a "Just one more chapter" kind of book. I cannot wait for book 2 which should be out later this year.
Every part of this book was rich with detail painting a clear picture for the reader. The scenery, clothing, and everything in between was perfectly captured by author Laura Frantz's exquisite writing.
The characters had their good or bad qualities making you cheer for them or despising them. Well, I was despising a few. You hope the two with like mannerisms with be paired together but are left wondering when circumstances lead a different direction. This story was a tangled mess of emotions as it takes on new turns all throughout the book.
This is a story you don't want to pass up!
