Description
River pirates, a stolen steamboat, and a deadly chase down the Mississippi—but falling in love might be the real adventure.
When river pirates attack and steal his steamboat, Emmett Carter barely escapes. Rescued and transported to a magnificent world of glitz and showbiz aboard a flashy showboat, Emmett is immediately captivated by something more than recovering his lost inheritance—The River Queen's beautiful, but quirky, songbird.
Anola Flynn, the star singer on The River Queen, is struggling to keep the business running as attendance dwindles during the 1923 season. With her dreams of saving the family legacy—and the only life she's ever known—slipping away, she forges an alliance with Emmett to keep her family afloat.
Now, to outsmart the gangsters chasing them, Anola and Emmett must wade through a dark current of deception and betrayal to save not only their dreams, but everyone they care about, from sinking deeper into the Mississippi River.
Reviews
What A Great Book
5By Brenda Lee 9876This author has done it again! What a great book! I loved that the River Boat was on the Mighty Mississippi. I have been over the Mississippi River many times. The characters were amazing and you would think that the heroine would be all fluff because she sings on a show boat but she wasn’t. I loved Emmett and Anola’s story. So many adventures. A little mystery, intrigue, romance and pirates too? It certainly was not boring. As always this author doesn’t forget to put some inspiration into the book. I loved that Anola and her family had faith in God and that’s what always seen them through the hard times. This author is one of my very favorites and as usual I couldn’t wait to read her new book. I received a complimentary copy from the author/publisher but was not required to write a positive review.A wonderful adventure
5By 61655May your troubles be forgotten as you step into our dream. What a fabulous beginning to a story and a trip down the mighty Mississippi. This book does not disappoint - from being thrown overboard by river pirates to all your actors and staff under the influence of some unknown product. There is plenty of mystery and intrigue with lots of adventure and even some romance. Will The River Queen survive all this excitement to wend its way on the river for another season? Trouble came for girlhood fairy tales and it could well tear her family apart. An early copy was received through Vine Press and BookFunnel. These impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.
