Waiting on Love

Written by Tracie Peterson

Narrated by Stephanie Cozart

She’s made big promises. It’ll take everything she’s got to keep them.

Crisscrossing the Great Lakes onboard her father’s freighter ship, the Mary Elise, Elise Wright has grown up cooking and caring for the crew. It is a life she loves. Unlike her estranged sister, Elise has turned down numerous opportunities for a
“respectable life” with their wealthy relatives. And now, because of promises she made to her dying mother, she’s bound to the ship and her deeply grieving father more than ever.

Nick Clark is grateful to be hired on as the Mary Elise’s first mate as he works to overcome his own guilt and others’ censure for a fatal decision he made captaining another ship. He feels protective of the Wrights and their generous
natures, especially when a rough new sailor seems intent on causing serious trouble.

As the sailor’s misdeeds grow, tragedy swells up from another corner. Left to pick up the pieces of the commitments they’ve made to themselves and to each other, Nick and Elise will have to rely on their faith to see them through.

Title: Waiting on Love (Ladies on the Lake #3)Author: Tracie PetersonPages: 320Year: 2021Publisher: BethanyMy rating: 5 out of 5 starsThe Mary Elise is a ship that travels the lake, taking merchandise from one port to the next. Her captain is a man by the name of William Wright. Along with his wife of many years, they raise two girls with the oldest named Elise and the other Caroline. After losing his wife, Captain Wright continued to sail the lakes with Elise working in the galley and any other chores her father tasked her to do. Caroline wanted a different life as her dreams were marriage and a home.The first mate is man with a broken heart and past, named Nicodemus Clark. Nick, as he is called by all, works hard on the Mary Elise, focusing on doing penance for a past error in judgment. As time goes by, a romance may be blossoming on the ship between Nick and Elise if they can weather the storms on the horizon.I read the other two novels in the series starting with Destined for You followed by Forever My Own. Each is a self-contained story that allows readers to read them in any order. I enjoy reading a good story that is filled with hope and has a realistic flavor too. The novel shows how faith can make a difference in life and how some reach out to God. I savored reading the book as I think it is the last of this series, so I already am looking ahead to whatever may come next from the pen of this author. Grab one of these books or any of the others; they are solid stories to enjoy and share!Note: The opinions shared in this review are solely my responsibility.

The author had me turning the pages for answers, a lot of action here, both on the water and on land. We get to travel the Great Lakes on a freighter, leaving out of Oswego, NY one Lake Ontario, with travels to Chicago and Duluth, where they own a small home.We are given a young woman, Elise Wright, with a big heart, and them a young man, Nick Clark, who carries a big weight on his heart. Could there be a relationship between theses two? Would either or both want to spend their lives on the water?I loved the deep faith of all of the main characters, and how they went about living their faith. We are given a lot in this story and greed rears its nasty head many times here. There is some sweet romance, and a bit of forgiveness.This is the third book in this series, but it can be read alone.I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
