About this audiobook

It is 1755, and the threat of war with France looms over colonial York, Virginia. Chocolatier Esmée Shaw is fighting her own battle of the heart. Having reached her twenty-eighth birthday, she is reconciled to life alone after a decade-old failed
love affair from which she’s never quite recovered. But she longs to find something worthwhile to do with her life.

Captain Henri Lennox has returned to port after a lengthy absence, intent on completing the lighthouse in the dangerous Chesapeake Bay, a dream he once shared with Esmée. But when the colonial government asks him to lead a secret
naval expedition against the French, his future is plunged into uncertainty.

Can Esmée and Henri’s shared vision and dedication to the colonial cause heal the wounds of the past and reunite them?

This was a wonderful read. There was great historical aspects as well as those second chances on love that we all love to read about, at least I definitely do! The author's command of the English language is amazing and I have to admit there were some words I had to look up! The author was very knowledgeable about the language of this period, which clearly would be different than ours. Good for building my vocabulary, I think! This author is a wonderful writer and knows how to engage the reader so that you can't stop reading until the wee hours! I loved the unique name of Esmee that is used in this story and I loved the detailed plot and the intrigue in this well-written novel. Henri is a great hero and then there is Quinn! It's simply an enjoyable book that you won't want to miss. I have enjoyed so many of this author's books and this one was another winner. I enjoyed reading about life in the 1700's in Colonial Virginia and being a chocolate lover, this book definitely was a hit! I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. All thoughts are my own.
