    I loved this final book of the Edge of Freedom series! Not only does Elizabeth Ludwig wrap up the saga of the Celt, but we also see sweet Tillie, who has grown so much in strength through the past two books, finally find the forgiveness she has so desperately needed. The interplay between Tillie and Keondric, with neither one of they fully trusting in either their own emotions, let alone believing the other could love them, was very well-played. That particular plot device can become tedious in some stories, but Ludwig has done very well with it. I heartily recommend reading the whole series in order, but each individual book is a complete story in itself.

    Such an awesome book! I could not put it down, and yet I didn't want it to end! From the moment you open the first page of the book you will be drawn in. Ludwig makes you laugh along with the characters and feel what they are feeling. This book is full of strong ties, some to family, some to friends, and some to country. Elizabeth Ludwig has earned a fan for life! A must read if you like Christian Fiction. Has suspense and mystery with romance mixed in, my favorite kind! I have yet to read books one and two in this series, but I am going to read them now. I feel that Tide and Tempest is a great book by itself. You have got to read this book!

    Tide and Tempest by Elizabeth Ludwig is the third book in her Edge of Freedom series and I was thrilled to continue on with the stories of the boarding house's next member after falling in love with the intertwined tales of Ana, Cara, and Eoghan in the early stories.

    I really appreciate how carefully Ludig works to build her worlds and keep her characters intersecting through natural story points which flow out of the overarching plot and am amazed when seemingly coincidental encounters from earlier tales turn out to be major plot drivers an entire novel later! To have this level of foresight (or the ability to tie back) definitely increased my enjoyment of the plot and Ludwig's storytelling capabilities.

    In the second novel, readers are briefly introduced to Tillie McGrath, Tide and Tempest's heroine, a sad woman in the midst of rebuilding her life after loosing her fiance and delivering their stillborn child. As a result my interest was already piqued when I opened up book number 3 found Tillie's journey to and from the boarding house to be our next focus.

    When I first started Ludwig's series Tillie was the one woman I wished I could find out more about, the grieving woman, the quiet woman, and Ludwig does not disappoint. While staying true to the overarching plot with the Fenian's and The Celt, Ludwig still crafts a beautiful story of mercy, forgiveness, and love for young Tillie.

    I found, in a lot of ways, Tillie has been the character over the series to show the most growth and wonder if this is a reflection of Ludwig's on growth over the series as an author?

    Tide and Tempest does have a more complete feel than it's predecessors, possibly due to story line completions, but their was an equal though more subtle maturation in the writing itself which adds to the ease of reading.

    Overall, as much as I loved Ludwig's early work, Tide and Tempest has become a new favourite and I'd highly recommend it to fans of the genre.

    I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

    Time and Tempest

    Edge of Freedom Book 3

    By Elizabeth Ludwig

    Two years have passed since Tillie McGrath lost her fiance, Braedon on the journey to America. But the past and all its pain come back when Captain Keondric Morgan comes to the boardinghouse where she's staying. Tillie and Morgan are in danger because of Braedon's death. But what does Braedon's death have to do with his ties with the Fenians? And why the danger?

    Keondric Morgan has just discovered the truth about the death of Braedon McKillop. And what he has discovered concerns him, because it means Braedon's young fiance could be the next to die. For some reason Tillie has been on Morgan's mind and he can't get her out of it. But he has responsibilities and Tillie is so much younger than him

    Tillie is equally drawn to Morgan, but she refuses to acknowledge it. She doesn't deserve happiness after what she's done. And she has an orphanage to start if she can get the money together.

    Keondric and Tillie's story is one of letting go of the guilt of the past and embracing the forgiveness that God so freely offers. Both are offered second chances if they are willing to take the risk and accept what is being offered.

    I haven't read the first two books in this series, so I don't think one has to read them. But the references made about other characters has made me want to read the first two books. Time and Tempest is set at the turn of the century (19th into 20th) in New York City. I found this to be an enjoyable and enlightening book. The history of the struggle for Irish independence and its links to America are interesting and are fodder for research into Fenians and their struggles.

    I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher Bethany House in exchange for my honest review.

    I have had the privilege of reading all three of Elizabeth Ludwig's books in her Edge of Freedom series, and I have immensely enjoyed each one. This third (and I believe final) book in the series brought everything together in a nice package.

    Tillie McGrath didn't know what she was getting into when she left Ireland to travel to America with her fiance, Braedon. But when Braedon dies aboard the ship, along with her unborn child, Tillie finds herself trying to make a way for herself in an unknown country.

    Captain Morgan, who brought Tillie across the ocean, believes that he is responsible for Tillie's care - especially when he finds out that her fiance was murdered on his ship.

    How is Tillie tied in with the Fenians? Will Captain Morgan be able to protect her? And will Tillie ever find love again?

    Elizabeth Ludwig does a wonderful job of drawing the reader into her stories. I enjoyed meeting the same characters each time and finding out how they were all connected. And there is a definite tone of repentance and grace throughout her books.

    I hope to read more from Ludwig in the future.
