An Epic Love Story From the Past Brings Closure to Dani’s Fractured Family Roots

​Walk through Doors to the Past via a series of historical stories of romance and adventure.

Upon receiving word that her long-estranged father has passed away, Dani Sango inherits the former art forger’s entire estate. Among his many pieces of artwork are a series of obviously Native American drawings and paintings, which lead her to research St. Augustine of 1875. Broken Bow is transported to Florida to join other Cheyenne braves already being held in Fort Marion. Sally Jo Harris is at the fort teaching the Indians. When a friendship develops between them and false accusations fly, it could cost them their lives. Can Dani discover how their story ends and how it shaped her own father’s life?

My Thoughts

I had a hard time connecting with Brad and Dani’s romance, but overall they were great characters with solid motivations. I loved seeing their interactions with Brad’s niece as that part of the plot began to unfold.

But I think Matty almost stole the show. He provided great spiritual depth to the story, and I loved him as a secondary character. He also had a lot of great thoughts about following the Holy Spirit which provides a lot of food for thought.

I will say that at first I was a bit confused as to why Broken Bow and Sally Jo both had a POV in the historical storyline instead of just one of them. Later, though, it became a bit more clear why the author might have made that decision.

Overall, Love’s Fortress is an enjoyable dual timeline novel that both contemporary and historical fans will love.
