My Heart Belongs on Mackinac Island by Carrie Fancett Pagels


My Heart Belongs on Mackinac Island: Maude's Mooring by [Pagels, Carrie Fancett]










Here is the book summary:
Journey now to Mackinac Island where...

A Tangled Gilded Age Love Story Unfolds.

Although the Winds of Mackinac Inn has been in her mother’s family for generations, Maude Welling’s father refuses to let her run it without the guidance of a husband. So she seeks to prove her worth and independence by working incognito as a maid at the Grand Hotel.

Undercover journalist Ben Steffans, posing as a wealthy industrialist, pursues a story about impoverished men chasing heiresses at the famed hotel.  While undercover, he becomes attracted to an intriguing maid. By an act of heroism Ben endears himself to the closed-mouthed islanders—including Maude—and he digs deep for his story.

But when scandal threatens, will the growing love between Maude and Ben be scuttled when truths are revealed?

 And now, my review:
My Heart Belongs series is a great series to read!  If you haven’t read any of them, I recommend you check them out!  This book is located in my home state and having been to Mackinac Island numerous times, I could smell the water and the horse poo, see the bikes and the Grand Hotel and it felt really personal to read this.  To be around the island, on the water and on the mainland was really something that I could see happening.  I enjoyed the characters as they were well-developed.  There was some mystery and intense moments and happy endings are the best.  A favorite part in the book for me was when the leading female is made aware that the leading man is waiting for her and she’s quick to jump up and prepare herself.  Her maid says, “I thought that might put some rise in your shine!”

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and Netgalley and was under no obligation to post a review.
