    Oh goodness, this was such a good read and it had me sucked in right from the beginning! Although it took place long before my time, it was still fun to see familiar places like Oswego, Buffalo, and Niagara Falls. I loved the characters in this one, and each of them were well developed and played their own unique role in the overall story that simply wouldn't have been the same without them. I liked that I was surprised by the twists and turns, and that it managed to bring out several different emotions as I read... and I always say I love a book that makes me FEEL something. Booker Duran? Let's just say you'll understand once you read it for yourself. I like that each of the characters had their flaws. The faith element was very well done, especially as each of the characters experienced growth regardless of how far a long they were with their walk with the Lord. There wasn't anyone who had it all "figured out" and that was kind of the point. At no point do you stop needing Jesus.

    Although this is the third book in the Ladies of the Lake series, it is also a standalone story so it wouldn't have to be read in any particular order. This was a really great series though, and one I would easily give my recommendation to other historical romance fans.

    This review was written for Waiting on Love (Ladies of the Lake) - eBook.
    The author had me turning the pages for answers, a lot of action here, both on the water and on land. We get to travel the Great Lakes on a freighter, leaving out of Oswego, NY one Lake Ontario, with travels to Chicago and Duluth, where they own a small home.

    We are given a young woman, Elise Wright, with a big heart, and them a young man, Nick Clark, who carries a big weight on his heart. Could there be a relationship between theses two? Would either or both want to spend their lives on the water?

    I loved the deep faith of all of the main characters, and how they went about living their faith. We are given a lot in this story and greed rears its nasty head many times here. There is some sweet romance, and a bit of forgiveness.

    This is the third book in this series, but it can be read alone.

    I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.

    "Waiting on Love" is set in 1872 on the Great Lakes. This book is the third in a series, but it's basically a stand-alone. Historical details about life on a freight ship and the development of the Great Lakes area were woven into the story and provided a distinct sense of time and place. The main characters were complex and grew throughout the story. Elise and Nick spent time together and got to know each other. They shared interests, especially their love of life on ship. Elise, her father, and Nick looked to God for peace during danger and studied the Bible. The father's belief in God's power to transform people was why he gave a trouble-maker a position on his boat. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable historical romance.

    That said, I felt like they didn't react realistically to this trouble-maker. At first, yes, but when it's clear that he's violent and hates everyone on the crew, and Elise suspects that he might have committed murder? I'd at least be very wary and tell my father about it immediately. She boarded a ship that would isolate them from help and forgot to tell her father for days. No real proof, so they keep him on. Huh? They knew he was a poor crewman; that's reason enough. Later, Nick saw a wanted-for-murder poster that looked just like the crewman but with a different name. He didn't tell the police because he couldn't prove he was the wanted man. Huh? The police want to know where possible suspects are. They're not asking people to prove anything. Nick did tell the father/captain, who also didn't report the crewman because he felt there wasn't enough proof. Hm. Just seems odd and like they didn't take the danger seriously.

    I received an ebook review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
