The Magnolia Duchess (Review)

Author: Beth White
Genre: Historical Romance 
My Rating: 5 out of 10 
Revell 


Fiona Lanier is the only woman in the tiny Gulf Coast settlement of Navy Cove. While her shipbuilding family races to fill the demand for American ships brought by the War of 1812, Fiona tries to rescue her brother who was forced into service by the British Navy. 

Lieutenant Charlie Kincaid has been undercover for six months, obtaining information vital to the planned British invasion of New Orleans. 

When a summer storm south of Mobile Bay wrecks his ship and scatters the crew, Charlie suffers a head injury, ultimately collapsing in the arms of a beautiful mermaid who seems eerily familiar. As Charlie's memory returns in agonising jags and crashes, he and Fiona discover that falling in love may be as inevitable as the tide. But when political loyalties begin to collide, they'll each have to decide where their true heart lies.

My thoughts:
Not the most gripping historical romance that I have read. It lacked alot of personality and character I felt and I simply could not connect with the characters. 
Also felt like the romance went far to fast, I like it when the love interests have stories and puzzles but this book just didnt give me all that.
But I do Very much like all of the History. It was amazing how much research I am sure the author put in, it was amazing and informative to read about the war of 1812. 

My Rating: 5 out of 10

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review
