Book Summary

The day of her parents' garden party dawns bright as Lydia Prescott eagerly anticipates a marriage proposal from a handsome and wealthy plantation owner. The lovely debutante plans to steal a moment away with her beau, but her plans go terribly awry. Instead of her intended, she is joined by a stranger the largest man she's ever laid eyes on. And it is clear Jacob Steele is there for reasons far more sober than the party. With British raids erupting all around them, it is his job to reassure plantation owners of their safety. In reality, however, Jacob is an espionage agent, and the truth is dire: America is on the verge of invasion by the British.
 

Blissfully unaware of the danger surrounding her, Lydia basks in the glow of her recent engagement. But her joy is short-lived—a surprise British attack results in a devastating wound, and her plans for the future are shattered. Lost in her devastation, Lydia could never dream that Jacob, that giant of a man she met so briefly, would prove to be her saving grace. And with a war raging around them, she may be called upon to save him too.

My Review 

I enjoyed reading the next book in the War of 1812 Series. The Shipbuilder's Wife is full of rich characters in an exciting time during American history. We had a quick glimpse of main character, Lydia Prescott, in the first book of this series. She became very endearing in this second book. At first you think she's the typical 'Southern Belle', but tragedy enters her life and we see a whole different side to Lydia. We also get a different view of Agent Jacob Steele after he saves Lydia's life. These two as a couple take awhile to gel, but they both have many doubts and fears getting in their way. 

I liked how the book seemed a perfect blend of mystery, action, humor, historical facts, and of course romance. I've always been fascinated with the War of 1812 and Moore has done a wonderful job of blending the historical facts with a very engaging story line in both books in this series. It was very satisfying to see how ultimately Lydia and Jacob worked out their problems and came together in the end. Scars were healed inside and out for both Lydia and Jacob. I'm also hoping for the next book to spotlight Jacob's best friend Alden, who gave the needed humor in this book despite it's tense setting. 

As always, I highly recommend this author and this book. You will always get a great,developed story when reading a book written by Jennifer Moore.
