Bethany House Publishers and Netgalley provided me with a copy of Waiting on Love to review:
She has made some big promises. She’ll have to put everything she’s got into keeping them.
Her father’s freighter ship, the Mary Elise, crisscrosses the Great Lakes, and Elise Wright has grown up cooking and caring for the crew. She loves her life. In contrast to her estranged sister, Elise has refused numerous opportunities for a “respectable life” with their wealthy relatives. And now, because of promises she made to her dying mother, she’s bound to the ship and her deeply grieving father more than ever. Having made promises to her dying mother, she’s now more devoted than ever to the ship and her grieving father.
While Nick Clark is working to overcome his own guilt and others’ rebukes for a fatal decision he made while captaining another ship, he is grateful to be hired on as the Mary Elise’s first mate. When a rough new sailor seems intent on causing serious trouble, he feels protective of the Wrights and their generous nature.
Despite the sailor’s misdeeds, tragedy looms around the corner. With their commitments to themselves and to each other still to be fulfilled, Nick and Elise will have to rely on their faith to make it through.
I give Waiting on Love five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
