If you are a lover of history, this is a book for you. If you are a lover of romance, this is the book for you.
This is a very well written story of loss and the struggles men and women faced daily on the frontier yet it is also a story hope and love. During the course of keeping his promise he gains more than he gives when God bestows upon him more than he ever thought or dreamed possible. To keep this promise he gives Roxanna her fathers old job and a place to live. But instead of the surprise she dreamed of she was faced with heartache her father was dead and she has lost everything left to her, including any means to live and support herself when she lost everything to the raging river, the same river that was to take her to her father.Īt Fort Endeavor she meets Colonel Cass McLinn, who has promised her father that he would look after his daughter. Roxanna travels to Kentucky to surprise her father, the only person she has left to her, after her mothers death and her fiancé left her for another woman. I dont want to give too much of the story and plot away but. This is Roxanna Rowan and Cass McLinns story.
This is a story of love, sorrow, hope, and struggles of our brave men and women faced daily in the late 1700s in Kentucky. Frantz takes us, the reader, through an accurately portrayed voyage in the course of an important moment within our own history in The Colonels Lady. Make room for The Colonel's Lady on your keeper shelf right beside The Frontiersman's Daughter and Courting Morrow Little.Ī fantastic, larger-than-life, bittersweet, beautifully written historical romance
Be prepared to stay up long into the night even after the final page is turned thinking about all that happened, not just between the hero and heroine, but at Fort Endeavor and on the battlefield. If Cass and Roxanna's unfolding relationship doesn't keep you riveted to the page nothing will. From the first shocking accident of an on edge militia to the tender ministrations and care of a lover to his beloved on her sickbed to the final shocking revelation, The Colonel's Lady will leave your heart topsy turvy. The beautiful and dangerous Kentucke territory has never been more alive to me and characters have never spoken to me more in any Christian book I've read. This book is not simply a historical romance but a story of loss, hope, and the resilience of the human spirit. Nobody writes frontier romance like Laura Frantz! The Colonel's Lady is yet another example of Christian fiction at it's finest.
