Follow the Dawn by Rachelle Rea Cobb -- Blog Tour Review

About the Book

​Anna Emory grew up the invisible younger sister, shy and quiet, and she prefers it that way. But her father’s attempts to arrange an unsavory marriage teach her that courage is sometimes found in adversity.
 
Then she meets a boy and his father who tip her quiet world upside down.
 
Captain Mathieu Tudder has run from responsibility, entrusting his young son’s care to another and devoting his Sea Beggar ship to the cause of the Dutch Revolution. After the cause fails, Tudder returns to England for the son he left behind, all he has left of the wife he lost. But Titus prefers a mysteriously quiet nursemaid to his estranged father.
 
Tudder wants his son back, yet Anna stands in his way. Will these two hearts—the battle-scarred and the broken—ever find true freedom?

Review

Readers have long awaited Anna and Tudder’s story and it is here at last.  Readers will quickly fall in love with Anna’s soft and sweet spirit and enjoy coming to know Tudder’s desire to become reacquainted with his son.  The romance in this story is light and sweet without it being over powerful in the full story arc.  This story is about overcoming hurts from the past and moving forward to make a better life.  Familiar and beloved characters from Cobb’s Steadfast Love Series also make an appearance.  Readers will be absolutely delighted with this well developed, touching, and emotional story.
