THE RIVER QUEEN by Stephenia H. McGee, Reviewed by Paula Shreckhise #BlogTour #Giveaway

 

Book 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.

 

PAULA'S REVIEW:

What a delightful trip down the Mississippi on a showboat-The River Queen!

I was transported back to the 1920s, a time when entertainment came to the towns along the river. From the stunning cover to the beautiful ending, it was a story that captured my imagination. The plot was informative and interesting, telling about a unique life on a riverboat.

The Flynn family was quirky, full of faith and endearing as they welcome Emmett Carter aboard after pirates steal his vessel. When Emmett joins the crew, he is fascinated by Anola Flynn and her gypsy like costumes and independent demeanor. Anola is fiercely loyal to her family and she, in turn, is interested in Emmett.

Lots of mysteries to solve and Emmett needs to prove himself to the Flynns while relying on God to guide him.

Heartwarming and suspenseful, this story will keep you on your toes and satisfy your love of history.
