The Magnolia Duchess

Beth Whit'e day job is teaching music at an inner-city high school in historic Mobile, Alabama.  A native Mississippian, she writes historical romance with a Southern drawl and is the author of The Pelican Bride and The Creole Princess.  Her novels have won the American Christian Fiction Writers Carol Award, the RT Book Club Reviewers' Choice Award and the Inspirational Reader's Choice Award.  Learn more about Beth and her books at www.bethwhite.net.

As the War of 1812 rages across the newly formed United States, another war rages in Fiona Lanier's heart--one that threatens to tear her family apart.

Fiona can scarcely take in the news of her brother's capture and imprisonment by the British Navy. It is almost as unbelievable as the half-drowned British sailor who is washed ashore on the beach of Navy Cove.

Charlie Kincaid claims to have no memory of his life before being discovered by Fiona, but in a world that seems saturated with treachery, she cannot be sure he is telling the truth.
As Charlie's memory returns in agonizing jags and crashes, he and Fiona discover that falling in love may be as inevitable as the tide. But when political allegiances collide, they'll each have to decide where their true loyalty lies.

My Thoughts:
Beth White's books are just plain fun to read!  I love how she captures the Southern culture and time period at hand in her books.  You will love Charlie and Fiona!  The romantic thread in The Magnolia Duchess is endearing.  Readers will find it easy to get lost in the story and not come up for air until the end.  Anything Beth writes, you will want to read!
*I received a complimentary copy of the book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Happy Reading Ya'll,
