Holding the Fort was a thoroughly delightful book! The story contained a nice balance of humor, serious dialogue, and questions of faith. I enjoyed the characters in this story, both the primary and secondary ones.
Louisa was a likable character, even as she tried to uphold the ruse of being a governess. I appreciated that she kind of fell into that position and did not initially set out to deceive anyone. Once she found herself in that situation, however, I enjoyed watching her develop a conscience regarding truthfulness. Her faith journey felt a natural part of the storyline.
Major Adams was a fun character. I really liked him. He was a man of good moral standing, tried to lead his troops well, but had his own failings that he needed to work on. His developing romance with Louisa was sweet and fun to watch play out. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
(4.5 stars)
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
