Tricia McGill

This book transports you back in time, to watch as a connection blooms between an unlikely pair. The opening grabs your attention immediately, and from there we get to see everything unfold from both Finn and Esther’s POVs. McGill did a great job of bringing the historical setting to life, and the characters feel real. I have to admit, I actually kind of liked that this wasn’t an immediate, love-at-first-sight, passionate, whirlwind romance. It felt more real this way. Esther has a kind heart, and her reaction to Finn when they first met was sweet, and a little unexpected, as evidenced by how Finn reacted to her. Finn is an interesting character in his own right, a bit rough around the edges, with a tough past, much different from Esther’s own upbringing. They’re not quite opposites, but they do seem to be each other’s other half. If you enjoy sweet historical romances then you’ll want to grab this!… (altro)

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
For the Love of Faith is the first book I have read by author Tricia McGill, and I am glad I could enjoy this romance read. Faith and her mother live in a lodging house in the mining town of Ballarat. The year is 1860, and most people staying in their lodging house are those digging for gold, hoping to get rich, so the ladies were able to make ends meet. Faith didn’t know a lot about what was happening outside of the lodge. Her grouchy and bitter mom had her working too much and didn’t let her go out, but this all changed when a stranger came to town. The interesting thing is that he and Faith’s mom knew each other from the past. And from then on, Faith’s life was turned upside down.

For the Love of Faith is very well written, and the characters were well created, and I found that they developed well in the story. I felt bad for Faith because her mom had kept her hidden from their little part of the world. There are a lot of secrets that changed Faith and her mom’s life. I like Walter Finch. He really liked Faith, and he found an intriguing and exciting way to let her know.

If you enjoy mining towns and the enjoyment of finding out what the guys found on their mining trips, you will love this book. And since there is a hefty dose of romance floating through the story, it makes it even more exciting. I encourage you to run out and grab a copy of this book. You will not be disappointed!
