I am now familiar enough with three book series to know that the other two will feature Rosalyn&#8217;s sisters who were introduced in the prologue of this one. I hope that each of those will be equally as unique as &#8220;The Captain&#8217;s Daughter&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I almost always enjoy a good historical romance but I particularly enjoyed reading about life in the theater during Gilbert and Sullivan&#8217;s early years. The stage came alive in the pages of this book and it was fun to read about everything required to pull off a production in Victorian London from the costumes to the lighting. Strong characters, both primary and secondary were mostly likeable with one particular character receiving their comeuppance by the end. A surprise or two were in store during this sweet romantic novel and I loved watching Nate and Rosalyn&#8217;s relationship develop slowly. Their spiritual growth was also encouraging.<\/p>\n<p>It will be difficult to wait on the next installment of the <em>London Beginnings<\/em> series. I am hoping that the Bernay sisters will discover what happened to their missing father before the series ends. &#8220;The Captain&#8217;s Daughter&#8221; was an excellent beginning and I would recommend it to those who enjoy Historical Romance, especially those set in Victorian London.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Litfuse Publicity.
