Book 1 of 40
A young man is given the opportunity for wealth but he must become a spy and betray a stranger. His conscious is pricked and he chooses to protect his new friend. His life spins out of control and is trapped aboard the Mayflower on her historic journey. ( )

Needed a lot more research and a lot less romance. ( )

Although I thought I read this before, I didn't remember the story. This is basically the story of the Mayflower.

At the beginning of this story Lord Henry North is asking his daughter, Cecily, if she's ready. Since no one would have answered him the way she did, he told her she needed a beating. She replied that they both did, but there was no one to do it! They discussed Cecily's mother's choices for her husband, and Cecily asked why he didn't make any suggestions. He told her that this was the biggest area of disagreement that they had, as he wanted someone with courage, wit, & loyalty. Eventually they joined the admirable Lady North. Her comment was that they'd be late, but Cecily would be worth it. Her parents asked her to be civil to Lord Roth & the parson. She asked, "What parson?" When they arrived at the palace of Lord Simon Roth, he welcomed them. They all knew that he was looking forward to more than just this visit. Lady North felt that Simon would be an acceptable to her husband as a suitor for Cecily. She told her mother that marriage was more than money & a title. They were all masked as they went to the ballroom.

love the history. ( )

This book is . . . nice. Not especially challenging, thought provoking, or whatnot, but nice. I like history, don’t mind the religious undertone, good times had by all. Morris is a Christian author, but I’ve found that his stuff is generally not the ‘religion shoved down your throat repeatedlyâ€? variety, and since I’m a sucker for the nice romantic stories it’s a win-win situation. So I would recommend it with reservations ( )
