Seeking Simon

By Susan Pope Sloan

When a mysterious stranger claims to be her fianc , the fight to save her land turns into a battle for her heart.

Daviana Spalding dreams of leaving Georgia in search of a place where she can prove her worth as more than a claim to land. And when a handsome and kind stranger wanders onto the farm in need of help, she can't help but see him in those dreams too. Yet those are only daydreams...until the Freedmen's Bureau shows up threatening to take their land, and her guest steps forward claiming to be her betrothed.

Simon McNeil is a man haunted by his past and his time in a Confederate prison, seeking redemption and a fresh start back in Alabama. But his journey home is delayed when a bout of malaria keeps him bedridden, depending on strangers for help. As Daviana nurses him back to health, Simon is drawn to her strength and beauty, and when her home is threatened, he steps in to help.

When their fake engagement becomes real, Simon and Daviana must confront their feelings for one another as they face escalating threats that could tear them apart. And when a long-lost friend returns, all their plans could come crashing down.

Inspiring Must Read

What a wonderful addition to the Rescued Hearts of the Civil War series. This book can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading them all if possible as they are so well written. I found stepping back in time to post Civil War to be an emotional read as it was such a hard devastating time. I loved the characters of Daviana and Simon as they each brought so much depth to the story. These people possessed a strength that inspires you. The inspirational thread binds everything together and keeps you turning pages to see how the story develops. The story flowed well with a little romance and several occurrences that had you anticipating what next. I loved the sense of family and reconciliations. I highly recommend adding to your must read list and settling in for an emotional read that leaves you saying, more please. I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit/publisher. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
