New books and new authors are like a treasure to me! I always have authors I love, but finding a new one to admire and enjoy is always a treat! The Captain's Daughter, by Jennifer Delamere, is definitely one of those treats!
I'm always a fan of historical fiction and especially of the time period of this novel, the Victorian Era. I was also intrigued by the premise of following one of the residents from George Muller's orphanage. This was a new spin on this particular setting and I couldn't wait to settle into the title!
I loved that this particular series would follow a set of three sisters who depart from the orphanage. Being a mother of three girls myself I found it fun to see their various personalities. This first title focuses on the oldest of the three sisters, Rosalyn.

I found the characters in this story to be intriguing and compelling. I appreciated the personal journey Rosalyn moves through and how she grows as a person. This historical atmosphere and background including George Muller was a wonderful bonus!
The hero of the novel, Nate, is another enjoyable character. The author effortlessly flows between the two character's perspectives in a lovely example of 3rd person limited as is used in modern literature. He is a young officer who has earned the respect of his commanders. I appreciate the he was never presented as perfect, but definitely as honorable.
If you enjoy historical fiction and a good, clean romantic historical story, this is a good one for you!
