About this listen

If God asks you to confront a storm, how dare you stay in the harbor?

Lady Mary Cassidy O’Connell has a dream that can be summed up in three connecting ideas: a loving husband, adorable children, and a home of her own. Her mother’s lack of care makes life difficult for Cassie, and an escape is necessary. The plan? Marry Aubrey Montgomery, the man her parents have chosen for her, and find the peace she craves.

Unfortunately, Cassie is uneasy about marrying Aubrey. Her apprehension grows as she witnesses her dearest friend’s loving marriage take place. At this wedding, she catches the eye of Patrick Hilton, son of a wealthy American. Like Cassie, he’s also set to marry a woman chosen by his parents—only, Patrick claims, he is content with this choice.

Torn between her desire for happiness and the knowledge that God is leading her in a different direction, Cassie confronts the impossible decision. Is a loveless marriage of obligation better than being alone, or will she set sail on a voyage without a safe harbor?

Like a Ship on the Sea is the first novel in The Hilton Legacy, a stand-alone trilogy featuring characters from the author’s first series, The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy.

This book had me hooked from the first chapter. Although young, Lady Mary is mature in her outlook, and I found her easy to like. I admired her spunk and reliance on God to lead her. When she meets Patrick, the son of a wealthy American, both are promised to others—choices made by their parents on their children’s behalf. The two connect over their shared struggles with their parents, and quickly form a kind of forbidden friendship.

If you love family sagas and a slow-burn romance with lots of faith elements, then you’ll love this book! It’s dual POV, so you get to hear both characters’ thoughts and follow their stories.

My favorite things about this book: the wonderful side characters, Lori and Winnie, Patrick's younger matchmaking sisters, and reading about Lady Mary's faith in action.

I couldn't stop listening because Kellyn Roth's story was beautiful, full of faith, and heartfelt, and the narrator, Lisa Lynn Sandlin, brought the story and its characters to life with her captivating, engaging, and simply outstanding performance.

A wonderful Christian Historical romance.
