It's not often, especially when they get equal page time, that I like a book's hero better than the heroine. But I did this time. Drew is genuinely a nice guy, kind, loyal, and a man of faith. Adele loves and will do anything for her family which causes her to make some questionable decisions.
Through key characters readers see both the consequences of wresting control from God, taking matters into one's own hands, and the opposite, how faith can keep a person going when the going gets tough.
My Heart Belongs In Niagara Falls: Adele's Journey is an entertaining and surprisingly thought-provoking historical romance. This is Amanda Barratt's debut as a full-length novelist and it is an enjoyable read. Fans of this fun state inspired historical series will find this book to be a must read!
