A Bound Heart - Book Review

Though Magnus MacLeish and Lark MacDougall 

grew up on the same castle grounds, 

Magnus is now laird of the great house and the Isle of Kerrera. 

Lark is but the keeper of his bees 

and the woman he is hoping will provide a tincture 

that might help his ailing wife conceive and bear him an heir. 

But when his wife dies suddenly, 

Magnus and Lark find themselves caught up 

in a whirlwind of accusations, 

expelled from their beloved island, 

and sold as indentured servants across the Atlantic. 

Yet even when all hope seems dashed 

against the rocky coastline of the Virginia colony, 

it may be that in this New World 

the two of them could make a new beginning together.

My Thoughts

Laura Frantz never disappoints

and her latest book A Bound Heart

is truly a winner.

Laura has an eye for detail

and that attention flows through to her writing.

When I began reading this heartwarming tale,

the words were like artwork. . .

they were a feast for the eyes

that brought beautiful images to the mind.

With the lyrical Scottish words

and the talent of Laura's writing

well, you're bound to be captivated by this book.

A Bound Heart will take you 

on an epic and unforgettable journey.

Lark and Magnus face many hardships,

but love, hope, faith, and grace will prevail.

One of my favorites things was the delightful quotes 

at the beginning of each chapter.

Here are just a few to give you a taste

of A Bound Heart.

A gaudy dress and gentle air

may slightly touch the heart,

but 'tis innocence and modesty

that polishes the dart.

- - Robert Burns - -

I find as I grow older

that I love those most

whom I loved first.

- - Thomas Jefferson - -

The true measure of a man

is how he treats someone

who can do him absolutely no good.

- - Samuel Johnson - -

I highly recommend this book

especially if you enjoy and appreciate historical fiction.

Laura Frantz is an extraordinary storyteller

and you will not be disappointed if you add

A Bound Heart to your library.
