Captured By Love Jody Hedlund 9780764210495 Books

After finishing Rebellious Heart by Jody Hedlund yesterday and loving it, I knew I wanted to read another from one of my favorite authors. I liked the historical setting, the suspense, and the romance. I always learn something new, and I am inspired to learn more about the historical contexts. Her characters continue to be relatable and multidimensional as they must decide between following personal desires or doing what is right. Ultimately they find a balance between the two. My favorite scene is around 88% of the book when Red Fox puts everything in simple but powerful perspective, but you'll have to read to see what I mean.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes romance and historical fiction with facts woven in or even to those who might like to see what engaging historical fiction is all about.

Great plot with some surprises
Wonderful story! I love stories with childhood friends that fall in love.
The book was sent timely and in good shape! Love this author! I voraciously read these books and share them with friends!
Captured by Love by Jody Hedlund starts off with a fearful Angelique taking food in the dark from her tyrant step father along with a few fish she caught to a blind widow,Miriam. From this clutching beginning, this book takes one on a dangerous journey. The British have taken over the island, and they have forced all that remain to give allegiance to the king. Pierre, Miriam's son returns from fur trapping to find that his mother desperately needs his help. However, the longer he stays the more he wonders if he is staying for his mother or for Angelique, and he wonders just how long is it safe to stay?

This is a beautifully woven story rich in history with wonderful, deep characters. Angelique is a character with whom I fell in love. Her struggles are so poignant and real. She is in a very tough situation herself, yet she is more worried about others. She finds herself struggling to make sure that the passion growing in her is one that should be followed. She doesn't just " follow her heart", but she wants to follow what is right. Pierre really jumps off the page as a strong character willing to forsake all for the unbelievable love he finds growing inside of him. The change that God is making in him is well written and displayed. He is struggling with his inner flesh, but over time he is learning how better to keep it under submission. The history setting of Michilimackinac Island ( now known as Mackinac Island) is new to me as I expect it will be to most readers. As a fan of historical fiction, it is wonderful to read a story with history that I had never before known. This story has it all- strong characters, well written plot, and amazingly detailed history. I highly recommend this read.

I was given this read by the publisher for my honest opinion which I have given.
I really enjoyed this book. I have read and enjoyed others by Jody Hedlund but I think this might be my favorite by her so far. I felt the characters were well-drawn and enjoyed the sweet romance between Pierre and Angelique. The story was interesting and there was enough danger and tension to keep me turning pages. Jody Hedlund is one of my new favorites. I will keep reading all of her books. I hope her next one will be a continuation with some of the characters from this story including the newly arrived doctor's daughter. I won't say more so I don't give anything away regarding the ending of this story. What a fantastic author and book!
Ms. Hedlund has vividly captured the untamed essence of Northern Michigan in general and of the Island (as it is known by area residents) in particular. Even today, if you leave the tourist areas, there is something ageless about the Island that draws you inexplicably into the bygone era of the fur trade.

I found the characters and plot development quite believable with just enough predictability for satisfying escapism. The reason I gave this title four stars instead of five was that I expected the British antagonists to have greater direct involvement in the subplot development of Pierre's political loyalties. There didn't seem to be enough dialogue to support his increasing anxiety of discovery or enough initial outrage from his pro-American family when he showed up on the Island as a British sympathizer.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Captured by Love and applaud Ms. Hedlund for creating yet another wonderfully entertaining novel.
Jody Hedlund has yet to write a novel that I haven't loved! She did not disappoint with her newest novel, crafting once again not only a well told story but one rich in history, depth, characters and emotions! From the beginning she captured my attention and held it steadily throughout the novel. Even when I had to put the book down, it still lingered on my mind and I could not wait to return to its' pages.

Hedlund has a way of bringing History to life in her novels, she not only makes it interesting but engages your mind and emotions as you journey through a place and time period. Learning about Michilimackinac Island and the people held there during this time of unrest was fascinating. Her characters seem to live and breath, and garner a place in your heart. I so enjoyed Pierre and Angelique's story. Their struggles, failings, hopes, and desire to do what is right, all pull at you. They are characters you love and root for. Characters who manage to help you see yourself and examine truths, all the while being completely captivated by their story, as you hungrily devour the pages to see what will become of them! All I can say is that this novel is SO good, a definite keeper!
