A Bound Heart by Laura FrantzMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Rating 3.75
Laura Frantz has a talent for describing a location in such a way, that you can see yourself there, in this case, on the Island in Scotland. This book just made my longing to visit Scotland stronger.
I appreciated that Laura Frantz kept to her characters true a Scottish tongue, even though it made the reading a bit slower. I did enjoy this story, but at times found myself I needed to put it down, just needed a break from the characters and story, but that is just because of my personal taste, fans of Laura Frantz will love and devour this story.
This story included everything fans of historical fiction loves: rich in historical facts, loss, heartache and sweet romance. Lark and Magnus was great characters, though I did not feel that 100% connection, I loved their strong faith and trust in God. There was also a lot of side characters to love and hate, and little Larkin was adorable.
Recommended to fans of historical fiction.

About the book:
Though Magnus MacLeish and Lark MacDougall grew up on the same castle grounds, Magnus is now laird of the great house and the Isle of Kerrera. Lark is but the keeper of his bees and the woman he is hoping will provide a tincture that might help his ailing wife conceive and bear him an heir. But when his wife dies suddenly, Magnus and Lark find themselves caught up in a whirlwind of accusations, expelled from their beloved island, and sold as indentured servants across the Atlantic. Yet even when all hope seems dashed against the rocky coastline of the Virginia colony, it may be that in this New World the two of them could make a new beginning--together.
Laura Frantz's prose sparkles with authenticity and deep feeling as she digs into her own family history to share this breathless tale of love, exile, and courage in Colonial America.
