Book Reviews of Hannah Grace (Daughters of Jacob Kane, Book 1)
Book Review: Fun romantic suspense!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hannah Grace is a wonderfully written historical romance but with the welcome touch of suspsense woven in as well. The characters were developed beautifully and are easy to identify with.
Gabe moves to Sandy Shores as the new sheriff but doesn't realize he has a stow-away on board, the wild runaway, Jesse. As he tries to settle into his new surroundings and also figure out what to do with the boy who refuses to speak, Gabe meets several of the townfolk, including Hannah Grace, who is quick to jump to conclusions and ruin his day.
As he encounters Hannah, her family, Ralston the town doctor, and the McCurdy outlaws, Gabe realizes his idea of moving to a quiet little town isn't quite what he expected. And Jesse soon works his way into Hannah's heart while they try to find his family and the reason he ran away. Who thought that a little boy could teach her so much? Just when she thought she had her life going just the way she wanted it.
The suspense comes in when no one realizes they will all be in danger very soon. The McCurdys are a ruthless bunch and will stop at nothing to get what they want. But what do they want?
Hannah Grace is an entertaining read with a good spiritual message. One or two parts came across a little preachy to me, but it really doesn't take much for me to feel that way. The spiritual content was appropriate to the story and came in short spurts rather than drawn out sermons. I found myself stifling giggles as I read and also learning from the characters' experiences.
Hannah has a mind of her own and isn't afraid to use it (or tell you about it). She's a strong character and is very likeable. My heart went out to Jesse, who had been through so much. He changes so much by the end. And then there's Gabe. Forget any of the other characters, I fell in love with him!
This is the first book in the Daughters of Jacob Kane series and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series!
Summary of Hannah Grace (Daughters of Jacob Kane, Book 1)
Growing up in the west Michigan resort town of Sandy Shores in the early 1900s, Hannah Grace, the eldest of Jacob Kane's three daughters, is feisty and strong?willed, yet practical. Between working at her father's general store and courting the town's physician, Ralston Van Huff, Hannah has her life planned out in an orderly, meaningful way. Or so she thinks.Hannah's world turns upside down when the new sheriff comes to town. Gabriel Devlin is strong, outspoken, and a Christian, to boot?but he's sworn off women, having met ones mostly interested in money and apathetic about God.
Determined to ignore the newcomer's handsome looks, Hannah is drawn to him nonetheless by a shy, runaway orphan boy named Jesse. While Hannah works to befriend the shy vagabond, who's living with Gabriel until other arrangements can be made, God works in her heart. What plans does He have in store for this young woman who thought she had it all together?
