This was such a sweet and heartwarming read! I enjoyed the mystery/storyline involving the abandoned children, I liked how the villagers all pulled together to try and help them out, I liked the kindhearted heroine Susanna, She was previously engaged but her fiancé ran off and married her best friend, I liked how she was always trying to help the villagers, especially the poor mining village, by giving them food, toys for the children, etc.
. . I also liked the hero and I thought he was great with the children, His romantic past was similar to Susanna'she was betrayed by his girlfriend when she went off with another man, The children were cute and adorable, There was also a bit of a mystery involving fires/damage breaking out throughout the village, a wheel comes off the cart in which the children are traveling in, Drake's ship keeps getting damaged.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story! Drake and Susanna made a lovely couple, I really enjoyed their romance, I'm looking forward to reading the upcoming books in the "Matchmaking Babies" series in which we will find out more about the children's origins and who put them in the boat.
This was a very enjoyable book, Set in, a boatload of six children is discovered by a sea captain who is repairing his ship, Then an Earl's family becomes involved in the situation and helps care for the children, Another group of people do everything they can to make it difficult for the ship and the town, The story was interesting and the characters were delightful, especially the children, The only negative I
have may not have anything to do with the author at all unless she ok's book covers, The cover of the book is beautiful, the girls are absolutely adorable, and it will probably help entice some to read the book, However, I looked up children's clothing in, It would be nothing like the dresses the girls are wearing on the cover they are much too short and modern for, I was very surprised to see how long ago the plot took place when I opened the novel, I loved this story! The girls in this book are even cuter than this cover! I love books with Captains in them too, Kids and Captains, not to mention an intriguing story line, lessons on faith, forgiveness, and some sweet romance, I can't wait for more in this series! It was a pretty good book, although the cover is way off, it takes place in the early's in England, with lord's and lady's, I wish their was more interaction with the kids, I was hoping to have the feeling of knowing each kid, I got kinda bored in the middle, the last couple of chapters were good, I thought it was going well until the "surpise" happened, then everything went to fast and didn't have detail on then action, then it came to an abrupt ending, . . then of course the predictable part happens, Guy gets the girl then gets married, . . I didn't like the ending as much because we never found out how or who put the kids in the boat, And did they take them all as their kids when they got married did they adopt them out did they find their parents who knows!! I don't like books that have unexplained things, especially when the whole book is based off of those things! Family in Training
