I immediately became a fan and with each subsequent addition to the series have become even more enthralled with her books. She has definitely earned a permanent place on my must read authors list.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Sugar Baron&#8217;s Ring<\/em> could possibly be my favorite of the series simply because of the witty dialogue between hero Bradlee and his friend Colin. I loved their sense of humor and the way that Hannah found it difficult to suppress her giggles around them. All three characters were wonderful! Hannah was brave, helpful, caring, and forgiving despite her unfortunate circumstances. Bradlee was an honorable man who also learned to overcome his own weaknesses and become the man God created him to be.<\/p>\n<p>I loved how the entire plot played out and the parallels of a father&#8217;s love for his children to the love of God for His own. <em>The Sugar Baron&#8217;s Ring<\/em> is a wonderful story that I highly recommend. I look forward to more books by Lorri Dudley and hope for more about the Leeward Islands.<\/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 Wild Heart Books and Celebrate Lit.

Orphaned at a young age, Hannah struggles to provide for her future, while her guardian, a weak-hearted island drunk, bleeds Hannah of her father\u2019s inheritance. Caught between the classes of elite planters and white beggars, Hannah yearns to find a place to belong.<\/p>\n<p>University life has never been Bradlee Granville\u2019s forte. His only hope to graduate is to impress his professors by documenting his travels. After claiming unforeseeable circumstances, he delays his final exams and sets out early on his Grand Tour. However, when his ship wrecks off the coast of the Leeward Islands, Bradlee is left without means to return to England, a mounting deadline, and ruined journals.<\/p>\n<p>When Hannah rescues passengers from a ship breaking apart in the bay, she\u2019s unexpectedly drawn to the witty charm of one of the men. Helping him settle into island life will be a pleasure. However, as creditors, like sharks, begin to circle and her guardian\u2019s desperation becomes life threatening, Hannah finds herself in need of rescue. Will Bradlee look past her pitiful situation to see who she truly is\u2014the sugar baron\u2019s daughter?<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lWRQr3drZY8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-25609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/LorriDudleyProfilePic-768x752-150x147.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/LorriDudleyProfilePic-768x752-150x147.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/LorriDudleyProfilePic-768x752.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Lorri Dudley<\/strong> has been a finalist in numerous writing contests and has a master\u2019s degree in Psychology.

My heroine is caught between social classes as the daughter of a sugar baron and an impoverished white beggar since her guardian sold her inheritance to pay his debts. To generate the feeling of being a misfit, I delved back to those awkward years of middle and high school, where we often struggle to discover where we belong. Before my senior year, my family and I moved to New England for a job change. I\u2019d had a great group of friends at my old school, but at my new school, I was a stranger\u2014an outsider\u2014trying to find acceptance, much like Hannah.<\/p>\n<p>Bradlee, the hero, on the other hand, was fashioned in a completely different manner. At my house, the slang terms \u201cbruh\u201d and \u201cnoob\u201d are tossed around by my three boys, along with constant fraternal teasing. A lot of their sarcastic wit and camaraderie are portrayed through Bradlee and his grand tour companion, Colin. Their light-hearted banter depicts the tight bonds of a deep relationship where faults may be mocked, but offenses are overlooked, and if ever in trouble, they have each other\u2019s backs. Hannah is drawn to Bradlee, craving a similar connection but loses her heart to him in the process.<\/p>\n<p>The first opening scene came about because my family loves Discovery Channel\u2019s <em>Shark Week<\/em>. After binge-watching practically every episode, I knew my hero and heroine would meet under the duress of a shiny, steel-gray fin plowing through the water. (Queue the <em>Jaws<\/em> theme song.) However, our resourceful heroine contains the strength to rescue the hero as opposed to the other way around.<\/p>\n<p>All these things, being a misfit, teasing, and shark attacks, playout in a grander scheme to show how God never leaves us nor forsakes us. He\u2019s laying out the pieces of our happily-ever-after while developing our character and purpose. <em>The Sugar Baron\u2019s Ring<\/em> demonstrates how God\u2019s light shines bright even in the darkness.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more, check out my website at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lorridudley.com\/\">lorridudley.com<\/a>\u00a0or click here to watch\u00a0<em>The Sugar Baron\u2019s Ring book
