Will she be able to save her father from the island’s magic before she falls victim to it herself?

When Megan Standish finds out about her father’s new relationship, she storms into the Suamalie Islands to rescue her father and carry him home to New Mexico. He’s firmly planted on Alexandre, however, but she refuses to let the island’s magic cast a spell on her decision. Even when a handsome islander and his daughter knock at her heart.

Jean Girard is a local with a flourishing transportation business taking passengers from island to island. When he encounters Megan’s stormy tirade on his boat, he promises to shelter his daughter and himself from her negative vibes. His concern continues to grow as he watches his daughter get attached to the American.

Either Jean will have to create an even bigger hedge of protection around his daughter and his heart from this pouty, controlling woman, or he will have to trust God to peel back the stubborn, hurting layers of the past and allow the miracle of His love again.

Take a trip to the Suamalie Islands where palm trees sway, the sand and sea pulse with life, and the people will steal your heart.

My Thoughts on Conversation Hearts

Conversation Hearts is a sweet romance novel set in the islands and part of a wonderful series that you’re going to love as much as I do.  

This is an author that I enjoy reading.  She has a lot of great historical fiction novels that are amazing.  I’ve also enjoyed her contributions to the Island series as well.  This is one of those.

In this novel, Megan goes to the islands because her father has been there.  And he’s found love.  She’s not a fan of this and wants him to come home.  So she goes to fetch him.

She arrives with a negative attitude and an agenda.  But will the locals convince her it really is true that you can find love on the islands?  And maybe she can find love too?

I loved Jean and his little girl.  She’s adorable and precious.  She definitely adds to the story in lots of ways and I loved getting to know her as well as her father.  He’s a bit cynical of the negative nelly on his transport boat.  But his daughter isn’t!

This was such a fun novel to read.  It read quickly.  The characters are fun and I loved getting to know them.

More from Marguerite

I have enjoyed this series and the relationships forming as the characters find new ways to communicate on the journey. Are you a good communicator? Introvert or extrovert? Conversation is so very important. Think about how we use it every day: directions, warnings, concerns, prayers, instructions, and disciplines. Even though I teach online, my words of concern and instruction are needed to spur the students toward success. Somehow, I have the words to communicate well in so many areas of my life.

Then what about the heart? I think of the Valentine’s candy hearts—Conversation Hearts! As relationships develop between characters in Room for Love and Conversation Hearts, the heart becomes more and more a major component with all the characters. Yet, sometimes we fail to really say what we think in order to protect our hearts. There are many lessons to learn about being honest in relationships. Sometimes we avoid the conversation part and miss out on the wonderful relationships.

I embrace the conversation of the heart in my life through love, decisions, marriage, jobs, God’s appointments, children, and difficult circumstances. Explore different facets of important conversations with Amy and Walker and their families as you read this instalment of the Suamalie Islands series.

Happy Reading!
