WOO HOO! I have finished my backlog books for 2012. Only eight more years to go. LOL Will I ever read all those books? Who knows? It’s doubtful, but I’ll give it a shot.
GOODREADS BLURB
A dark secret . . . a grieving ghost . . . a handsome stranger . . . What more could Eliza Robinson want?
Except for maybe her life.
In Heather B. Moore’s enthralling 1840’s historical romance, Heart of the Ocean, Eliza Robinson has turned down the very pretentious Mr. Thomas Beesley’s marriage proposal. As a business partner of Eliza’s father, Thomas quickly discredits the family and brings disgrace to the Robinson name.
While her father scrambles to restore his good name in New York City, Eliza flees to the remote Puritan town of Maybrook to stay with her Aunt Maeve. Maybrook is the last existing Puritan town, having survived centuries of outside influence. Although relieved to be away from all- things-male and unforgiving gossip columns, odd things start to happen to Eliza, and she is plagued by a ghostly voice. Her aunt’s explanation? That Eliza is being haunted by a woman who died of a broken heart twenty years ago.
After Aunt Maeve is tragically killed, Eliza’s life is put in danger as she tries to uncover the mystery of her aunt’s death. She encounters Jonathan Porter in Maybrook, whose presence in the town seems suspicious, yet she finds herself drawn to him. When she discovers that Jonathan’s dark secrets may be the link between the dead woman who haunts her and her aunt’s murderer, Eliza realizes that Jonathan is the one man she should never trust.

I added Heart of the Ocean by Heather B Moore to my TBR on 1.9.13. I don’t read a lot of historical fiction, but have enjoyed the ones I have read. Sounds like there is tons of action….and a ghost. How can I resist? Would it haunt me if I didn’t read it? LOL

Yay for finishing your 2012 backlog.:-)
LOL, I don’t think I’ll ever read all my backlog books, but I’m reading more of them thanks to this weekly meme. I’ve enjoyed a few of Heather Moore’s books and this one looks good.
Well, you got 2012 done so you can do the rest. lol Good luck.
It is hard to pass up a book with a ghost in it! I know that I will never get the chance to read all of my books but I will give it my best try.
Way to go! That’s quite an accomplishment! Good luck with the tackling the next year. 🙂
Heart of the Ocean sounds really good. I haven’t heard of that one. I hope you enjoy it!
Congrats on getting through your 2012 backlog! I’ve been adding to my TBR for almost as long and definitely have a lot of books to go through. This one sounds intriguing, as I enjoy historical fiction from this time period.
