The Shipbuilder's Wife by Jennifer Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Source: Received to review
Genre: Historical Romance

Book Description:  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 thoughts: Jennifer Moore knows how to write a story! Her books take me back in time where I can imagine that I am there with the characters and picture the setting in my mind.

Lydia Prescott is a woman who had all that she wanted. She was beautiful, wealthy, and about to become engaged to the man of her dreams...until the British attacked her families plantation. Then she was unsure of her future and the happiness she had anticipated.

This is a story about when life doesn't turn out like you had planned, that maybe, something better is in your future. Lydia at first seemed shallow, but blossomed into a better person as the book progressed. Her life with Jacob is full of uncertainty. Both of them are afraid of being hurt and do not trust each other. If nothing else, this book emphasizes the importance of communication in a marriage.

The romance is slow. The book contains mystery. Someone is a spy for the British. Lives are at stake and there is a lot of critical war information that needs to be concealed. This book has so much to offer. It is a great book to sit down with and get lost into.
