Triangular Trade Trilogy book 1
by Janine Mendenhall
| -From Amazon- Plagued by nightmares, Annette yearns to find her anonymous rescuer — the man who saved her life from a near deadly assault. Deep inside she is starving for companionship and a mutually respectful relationship. When Mr. Peter Adsley, an abolitionist pastor dealing with his own emotional baggage, agrees to a clandestine meeting, the event appears providential. But self-doubt, deception, and the schemes of a mutual enemy threaten to keep the pair apart. A phantom adversary will stop at nothing to win Annette’s dowry for himself, even if it means killing Peter. ISBN-13: 978-1938499845 Can they make a difference in a world of darkness? I'm not exactly sure how to reign in my rather scattered thoughts about Starving Hearts. While the story didn't exactly capture my attention I did think that the the author's take on the horrible Triangular Trade, slavery, was both interesting and compassionate. And while the heroine's constant vacillating about standing up to her mother or being a doormat, was quite annoying, I found her commitment to the abolition of slavery to be commendable and her desire to grow her faith to be inspiring. And sometimes I wanted to tell the hero he was being stupid but on the other hand his desire to be a pastor tending his flock was admirable. |  This Book received a 3.5 Bark rating.

The story had a good suspense thread with a truly despicable villain who was easy to despise. If you are into historical romance with an early Regency flavor, some danger and suspense, and a strong faith message, Janine Mendenhall's book might be right up your alley.
