Where Hearts are Free

I was extremely excited to read the book Where Hearts are Free by Golden Keyes Parsons from the moment I set eyes on the cover which made me believe it would be a great romance book. Although this book concludes the Darkness to Light Novel series which I did not read in its entirety, I did not feel as if this book was lacking due to my not reading the first two books.

This book focuses on Bridget, a wealthy young woman in Philadelphia, PA in 1681. Edward Moorehead has been chosen by her father as the man she is to be married to, but Bridget has difficulty with this arrangement. Although Bridget wants to honor her family’s wishes, she realizes that Edward is not the man God has chosen to be her husband. Rather, she finds herself drawn to her childhood friend and family servant, Phillippe Clavell. Phillippe, who was once a member of French royalty, came to the United States as an indentured slave to Bridget’s family.

Overall, I was impressed with this book, and I really want to read the first two books in the series. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in historical books and also books that contain romance.
