Synopsis

Georgiana Knight—born in the nineteenth century, but now living in 2013—has certain standards when it comes to mysteries: they must involve blood curdling threats, late-night rendezvous, and the terror of Imminent Danger. So far, her current mystery has been a terrible disappointment. No ghosts, no dastardly villains, not even an actual murder weapon. Just a suspicious symbol, a drawing of a bloody dagger, and an old love letter. Though the centuries-old love letter is written in her own handwriting, so that's something, right? And there is a time portal in her cellar. Should she risk giving up hot showers and return to the past to discover the mysterious stranger who inspired (will inspire?) her passionate letter?

In 1813, Sebastian Carew has his own mystery to solve. As a teenager, he fell madly in love with his childhood friend, Georgiana. Ten years later, he returns from fighting abroad as an eligible man of fortune who must marry. And soon. He is determined to fend off fortune-hunting women, find Georgiana, and win her affections. However, she has utterly vanished. Can he divine the truth of her disappearance and convince her to marry him before time runs out?

The author invents a number of statistics that are completely unrealistic about Abstinence only education at a senate hearing and rambles on for an extended period concerning the politics surrounding it. While it is just a sc......more

Reviewed for THC Reviews "2.5 stars" I kicked off my 2023 reading with Karen Kingbury’s Divine, a stand-alone, inspirational, women’s fiction story.

Karen Kingsbury pulls at my heartstrings every time and this book was no exception. Divine was a beautiful story of the power of redemption. Mary Madison's story was heart-wrenching and emotional, powerful and life-changing. In today's world and all the bad things that are running rampant, there is s......more

Goodreads review by Maria on August 06, 2011

I started off really liking this book, but unfortunately it ended up going way over the top, and I ended up only finding it okay. The bad parts were really, really, bad; the good parts were toothache-inducing saccharine; every Christian was a wonderful person, and every non-Christian was an evil, ev......more

Goodreads review by Hayley on September 17, 2007

There is a paragraph in this book that so aptly describes the message Karen kingsbury so skillfully portrays: "That is the love of Christ ... Full and whole, without judgment or reservation. Unconditional. When you fall, Jesus holds out a hand. When you turn away, He stands at the door of your heart......more
