Can't Wait Wednesday: A Bound Heart by Laura Frantz

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings that spotlights and discusses the books we're excited about that we've yet to read. Generally, they're books that are yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm featuring A Bound Heart by Laura Frantz releasing January 1, 2019.

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. 

Why I Need It
I always enjoy Laura Frantz's historical romances and greatly anticipate her new releases. This synopsis doesn't grab my attention like some of her previous ones have but I'm sure the actual story will be awesome. And is it just me, or does the cover model look like Demelza from Poldark?
What upcoming release are you excited about?

    My head is bent in shame. I haven't read any Laura Frantz yet (and she just won a Christy Award!). I did request this one so hopefully that statistic will change very soon!

      Her books are awesome! I was so excited when I saw that she won the Christy Award! Hopefully you'll be able to read this one soon. I also highly recommend her Ballantyne series. Those are some of my all-time favorite historical fictions ever. Thanks for visiting, Suzie! Happy reading! :)
