    This review was written for Love Finds You in Annapolis, Maryland.
    Love Finds You in Annapolis, Maryland by Roseanna M. White is one of those books that once you pick it up it's almost impossible to put down. I started one evening and finished the next day. The book drew me so much that I rushed through what I knew I HAD to finish so I could get to my reading. I also found that at the end I didn't want it to be finished. Though the story wrapped up neatly, I just wanted to keep reading. I didn't want it to be over. The characters became real to me and I wanted to learn more about the rest of their lives. Can you tell I enjoyed it immensely?

    Love Finds You in Annapolis, Maryland (2011) by Roseanna M. White is a fabulous stand-alone novel. This novel comes in all forms including eBook, and is 313 pages in length. With a full-time job and a very precocious five-year old at home, this story took me three days to read. I purchased this novel from the author to read and review. The opinions expressed in this review are my own. I give Love Finds You in Annapolis, Maryland 5 STARS. This story is a Christian Historical Romance.

    I absolutely enjoyed every second of this story. Love Finds You in Annapolis, Maryland is a perfect Historical novel, and proves again what a stellar writer and storyteller Roseanna M. White truly is. I was hooked from page one, and could not put this book down. I may have even sneaked reading pages during work today! LOL!

    This story is unique in that I hated the hero right from the start. He's smug and detached and awful. I wanted to smack him on several occasions. I cannot remember reading a book hoping the leading lady would choose someone else. But, that's how I felt through 3/4 of this book. Emerson's best quality is that he realizes he's a total fool. At first, Emerson does not seem so contrite; it's more like he goes after Lark because of wounded pride. But, as he sees Lark through others' eyes, and he finally witnesses her true personality, he comes to understand just what it means to be repentant. And then he makes good, solid change. Believable change. Emerson didn't get perfect over night. But he knew the steps he needed to take to fix the mess he made, and he knew those steps began by going to God. As the story was nearing its end, I found myself rooting for Emerson to succeed in his redemption quest. And, by the end, I felt he had become a true hero.

    Lark is a wonderful heroine. At first, she tries to be what she believes society and Emerson want her to be. She is meek and mild, and she doesn't ever show her true colors in public. But, over the course of the story, she grows into an amazing woman. She learns to express her opinions, she learns to stand her ground, and she learns to relax. The biggest stumbling block Lark faces in this story is herself. She is so caught up in her outer appearance that she loses sight of who she is. She doubts herself, her looks, and her worth. But, Lark discovers that God sets her worth, not man. Lark blossoms once she realizes this fact. She comes to see her true self-worth and beauty, and begins to be the woman God always wanted her to be. This is an exceptional reminder for me, and for most every woman I have ever met. Our value is not set by the standards of this world. Our value is set by God. So most of us don't look like the women on the covers of magazines. Big deal! The creator of the known and unknown universes intricately formed us. He knows us by name, and He calls us His own. If that doesn't prove our true worth, I don't know what does!

    There is so much more that I want to say about this book! The secondary characters are wonderful. Wiley, Sena and her family, and the Calverts are some of my favorite characters. The depth and complexity to the secondary characters is as good as the main characters. And, the history -- it is so clear Ms. White put in a ton of study and research for this book. I learned so much! I had no idea about life right after America became it's own nation. I always assumed it was a rather peaceful, happy time, but that was not necessarily the case. I did not know about the discord between the American Revolutionists and the few Tories who chose to continue to make their home in America even after the War had been decided in America's favor. It's intriguing, and sad, to me that since its beginnings, America has resorted to a mob mentality when the majority doesn't get its way, or when its popular values are questioned by others. There are a couple of tense moments displayed in this book, and the injustice of those moments really made me shake my head. On a more positive note, I really loved witnessing through Lark Washington's official resignation from his military commission. What struck me was how eloquent he was. No one talks like him anymore. Such excellent word choice and elocution!

    Love Finds You in Annapolis, Maryland is an excellent story. If you are looking for a well researched, highly engaging story that is a fast-paced page turner, then you need to purchase this book. I highly, highly recommend it.

    Oh my word. I LOVED this book. I started it yesterday afternoon and read until midnight, forcing myself to sleep a few hours before waking to finish it.

    Endover Plantation, outside Williamsburg, VA 1783 (following the Revolutionary War)

    Larksong Benton is celebrating another birthday, yet still unwed to Emerson Fielding after a proposal two years ago at her eighteenth birthday. He has remained distant, aloof and uninterested other than the customary gentleman is required to be.

    Wiley Benton intends to see his sister happy and has warned his good friend he needs to change his attitude or call off the match.

    A devious cousin, Penelope, shows up and immediately begins a flirtation with Emerson that causes even more confusion and doubt concerning the betrothed couple.

    When Wiley decides to send his sweet sister into hiding with friends in Annapolis to resolve her feelings and put enough distance between her fiance and family, Lark agrees and is quickly befriended by the extremely adventurous and beautiful Sena and her kind family. Lark finally has the chance to come out of her shell and explore her true self.

    Sena's good friends, Edwinn Calvert and his sister Kate are Tories; loyal to the English Crown, and therefore outcasts since the War. However, Edwinn's reason stems not from a lack of patriotism, but rather a deeply personal one between himself and God. He is a good and caring man, who does love his country and adds much to the story. Ch. 5 "Was it so wrong to wish for a companion? To wish he had the freedom of other, Patriot men, to pay court to the young women around him and discover what match the Lord might have in store for him?"

    Emerson finally begins to question who he is and whether or not his proposal to Miss Benton was the right choice or not, and aims to discover those answers by finding out exactly where she has gone and confronting her. I enjoyed Emerson's strength, and his choices throughout the book once he realized the value of Lark. They have great chemistry.

    Wiley is a wonderful supporting character who made me laugh more than once.

    Lark is convinced she is unworthy and not as good as anyone else around her. Her inner struggles brought me to tears.

    A story not to be missed!

    Another wonderful read by Roseanna M. White! Her novel is, as always, well researched. I love they way she incorporates humor into the story through the dialogue of her characters. Since history is a favorite of mine, I appreciate the detail with which she paints the cities of Annapolis and Williamsburg. She also seamlessly weaves faith into the story through the personalities of Lark, Fielding , Sena, Edwinn, Wiley, Alice, the Randel's and many more. It was with pleasure that we even get to see some of the famous founders of America! And let's not forget the "Liberty Tree" Great story and an a very enjoyable read.

    This review was written for Love Finds You in Annapolis, Maryland.
    This was one of the best books I've ever read! The characters were intriguing and the story line was wonderful. I don't think I've ever read a book set in this time period before and was wonderfully surprised at how much I enjoyed it. This book was hard to put down. Especially of interest was the Loyalist family in the story. The story showed this particular family as individuals you grew to love and how they were treated at the hands of the Patriots after the war. A great read!
