"The Captain's Daughter"
by Jennifer Delamere
Warm-hearted Victorian romance brings 1880s London to life.
When a series of circumstances beyond her control leave Rosalyn Bernay alone and penniless in London, she chances upon a job backstage at a theater that is presenting the most popular show in London. A talented musician and singer, she feels immediately at home and soon becomes enthralled with the idea of pursuing a career on the stage.
A hand injury during a skirmish in India has forced Nate Moran out of the army until he recovers. Filling his time at a stable of horses for hire in London, he has also spent the past two months working nights as a stagehand, filling in for his injured brother. Although he’s glad he can help his family through a tough time, he is counting the days until he can rejoin his regiment. London holds bitter memories for him that he is anxious to escape. But then he meets the beautiful woman who has found a new lease on life in the very place Nate can’t wait to leave behind.
 ****************************************************************************
This was my first book by Jennifer Delamere and I am very happy that I chose to read her book plus I hope to read more of her books really soon. Set in London in the 1870’s this book is filled with many interesting and historical tidbits. I especially liked how Rosalyn, the main character, and her sisters were raised in George Muller’s orphanage. (Although I am sad that they were orphans.) I have always loved hearing about his orphanages and his complete faith and trust in God, so for the author to include this made the story extra special for me. This book also has many lessons that we can all learn such as be careful who you trust and believe, forgive yourself, don’t hang onto guilt, and always trust God. I cannot wait to read the rest of the books in the London Beginnings series.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Litfuse Publishers in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
