International Review of Lisa Norato's Prize of My Heart



Review Prize of My Heart 
by Lisa Norato
(Bethany House, 2012)

4½ stars


Reviewed by Marian Baay


It is the year 1815. Ex-privateer Captain Brogan Talvis’s wife had abandoned their two-year-old son to strangers. She refused to tell him to whom she gave the infant. Shortly thereafter, Brogan’s house burned down and his wife was killed in the fire.From that moment Brogan has searched for his son. 


It is three years later now and finally he has discovered that the boy lives with shipbuilder Nathaniel Huntley and his  nineteen-year-old daughter, Lorena. Brogan orders a ship from Nathaniel Huntley and makes up a plan to kidnap the boy from the Huntley home. Wooing Lorena is part of the plan. Only he did not expect to really fall in love with her.

Will Brogan continue with his plan to kidnap the boy? And what dark secret is Lorena keeping? When Lorena is deceived by a friend of the family, she finds herself against her will on a ship to England. Will Brogan go after her and rescue her? Or is this the perfect opportunity to sail away with his son?

Lose yourself in this story about deceit, secrets and above all... love! Lisa Norato has a pleasant voice and she beautifully shares biblical truths in this wonderful and lovely story!


Prize of My Heart is available for purchase on Christian Book Distributors, Amazon, and other book stores.
