Since her assault, Miss Annette Chetwynd has been plagued by nightmares and worries about an arranged marriage. But she yearns to find her anonymous rescuer. Unfortunately, her health and intellect prevent it. Both repel suitors and cause Annette to doubt God's existence, at least until He answers her prayers in an unusual way... Mr. Peter Adsley is joining the clergy, and he desires a godly wife by his side. After a failed attempt to obtain one, he engages in a clandestine meeting with the bewitching young woman who keeps crossing his path. But she is so unsettling. Destined for disappointments, Peter and Annette both endure disgraceful situations. Will Peter s faith sustain him through overwhelming setbacks? Can Annette overcome her doubts? Or will their starving hearts yield to the machinations of a mad man?

Starving Hearts | Janine Mendenhall

so-so

More than the romance I expected, Starving Hearts features mystery, suspense, and drama, with a hearty dose of slavery‘s abolition. It starts slowly and picks up by the second half, becoming an interesting historical read with a fascinating villain. However, I found myself unable to feel connected with protagonists Annette and Peter, which left me a bit disappointed at the end. (I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.)
