Overview: Three English sisters come to Natchez, Mississippi, in 1972, under the assumption that the oldest will marry through an arranged marriage. When they arrive, they realize that their relations have sold them into slavery at a brothel, not set-up a marriage. A local Irish man and his friends and family help to hide them and give them a safe but temporary place to go. Some how they must regain their freedom and begin new lives for themselves in America.
Positive elements: well-written story and clean. There are a couple kisses and some rather longing looks that are a bit cheesy...but otherwise a clean love story.
Negative elements: My only critism of the story is that it is pretty simplistic. It is one of those stories where you know from about page 1 what will happen and who will fall in love.
Conclusion: If you like easy going, historical love stories, this book is for you. I rarely read these because I don't like a book where I know how it is going to end. But every so often I try out a new contemporary author to see what kind of journey he or she can take me on.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
