After a very busy week, which included substituting three days at the junior high, all I wanted to do was curl up with a good book and recharge. I spent close to an hour looking for the perfect book. I ended up bringing home two books, including this one. I was familiar with this author after having read two of her other books. I enjoyed the chemistry between the two main characters but found the plot a little bit too far fleshed at times. Despite not being perfect I did learn a thing or too about the early years of danger with riverboats and got a nice little escape. Full Steam Ahead by Karen Witemeyer is a wonderful Historical Christian Romance. Once again, I am blown away by the amazing writing abilities of Ms. Witemeyer....by yet another amazing story!This story was well written, with interesting characters. I really loved how the characters have so much in common, but it takes a bit of time for them to become aware of it...you are going to have to read this book to find out more! I really loved Nicole's sassy nature and was really drawn in by her character. Darius really touched my heart, his pain was understandable and his character was so well developed. The strong faith message is something I always love about Ms. Witemeyer's books!If you are looking for a book that is filled with action,danger,raw emotions, along with forgiveness, joy, humor and excitement...this is the book for you! You will not be disappointed!I highly recommend this book to everyone, especially those who enjoy historical romance, with wonderful characters.I was given this book in exchange for my honest review by bookfun.org.
