The Captain's Daughter by Jennifer Delamere

Here is the book summary:

Warm-Hearted Victorian Romance Brings 1880s London to Life

When a series of circumstances beyond her control leave Rosalyn Bernay alone and penniless in London, she chances upon a job backstage at a theater that is presenting the most popular show in London. A talented musician and singer, she feels immediately at home and soon becomes enthralled with the idea of pursuing a career on the stage.

A hand injury during a skirmish in India has forced Nate Moran out of the army until he recovers. Filling his time at a stable of horses for hire in London, he has also spent the past two months working nights as a stagehand, filling in for his injured brother. Although he's glad he can help his family through a tough time, he is counting the days until he can rejoin his regiment. London holds bitter memories for him that he is anxious to escape. But then he meets the beautiful woman who has found a new lease on life in the very place Nate can't wait to leave behind.

And now, my review:

This is a great historical fiction that paints the picture of London in the 1800’s.  This being said there are nice things about London at that time and not so nice things about London.  This author does a great job with making it feel really realistic and not predictable with some intense scenes of what one might fall into if found a woman, alone in the city of London at the train station.  I’m really glad that the heroine found freedom from the sad situation and not just freedom but exciting hope.  I’m also a huge fan of George Muller and that was a great touch to the story for me.  This is written with the idea that the main woman is a former orphan at the orphanage.  It shows her living out the truths she learned under George’s roof all those years.  It’s a great read! 

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