MY REVIEW:

Beloved Counterfeit is book #3 in the Fairweather Keys series and brings back many much loved characters along with a chance to really see into the lives of Micah Tate and Ruby O'Shea. Here we have two very broken and hurting people with pasts they have run away from. Now Micah makes Ruby a promise to protect her no matter what. He means to keep that promise, but maybe that promise would be easiest kept if they were married. So is it a marriage of convenience or could there be redemption in their relationship. Can Micah really keep the pirate, Thomas Hawkins from coming after Ruby? What happens when the truth about their pasts comes out? Can God really forgive and even if He can, can they forgive each other?

I really liked this book a lot, I love the world that Ruby has created for her readers in Fairweather Keys and hope that this is not the end of the series.

ABOUT THE BOOK

LOVE CAN COVER A MUTITUDE OF SINS

Washed ashore on Fairweather Key, Ruby O’Shea and her three nieces─the offspring of the pirate Thomas Hawkins and Ruby’s late sister─have a chance for a new beginning as Ruby takes a job in a boardinghouse and the girls are passed off as her daughters. But will Ruby be able to confess all when she falls for Micah Tate, a widower, wrecher, and soon-to-be preacher?

Micah is determined to marry the young woman who has captured his heart despite knowing she has something to hide. But will he be able to remain true to his vows when his lady love’s shady past comes to light?

Captain Thomas Hawkins will go to any length to discover the whereabouts of his daughters. What will his determination cost the folks of Fairweather Key?

When Ruby finds herself bereft of her newfound love and protector, will she run away in an attempt to escape her present as she did her past? Will Micah’s love cover the multitude of Ruby’s sins, or will Ruby’s duplicity cost her everything?
