In honor of Laura Frantz’s new novel, Love’s Awakening, that has just been released, I decided to give away a copy of her old novel Love’s Reckoning! The giveaway will last until two weeks from today. You must leave a comment below stating what you love about historical fiction and I will randomly draw a winner*. Said winner must respond within 48 hours. So, have fun!
On a bitter December day in 1785, Silas Ballantyne arrives at the door of master blacksmith Liege Lee in York, Pennsylvania. Just months from becoming a master blacksmith himself, Silas is determined to finish his apprenticeship and move west. But Liege soon discovers that Silas is a prodigious worker and craftsman and endeavors to keep him in York. Silas becomes interested in both of Liege’s daughters, the gentle and faith-filled Eden and the clever and high-spirited Elspeth. When he chooses one, will the other’s jealousy destroy their love?
In this sweeping family saga set in western Pennsylvania, one man’s choices in love and work, in friends and enemies, set the stage for generations to come. Love’s Reckoning is the first entry in The Ballantyne Legacy, a rich, multi-layered historical quartet from talented writer Laura Frantz, beginning in the late 1700s and following the Ballantyne family through the end of the Civil War.
*Winner must live in the U.S.

Historical fiction takes me back to the past in a very enjoyable way. It makes me thankful for our modern conveniences and freedoms and makes me appreciate the people who have made our country what it is today. It also lets me know how spoiled I am and how petty it is for me to ever complain about my own circumstances.
Oh yes, Kandra, that’s a good point. Time travel without the chamber pots!
I love learning how people lived and survived in a time so different from ours, but many of the important things are the same- love and family.
I love historical romance. Love cover and interview. Count me in giveaway
