The daughter of the plantation owner and an indentured slave....in love - but there is no way they can be together. Philippe was royalty in France, but the escape cost his family everything. He is working off his passage as an indentured servant to the Barrington's. Bridget is the daughter of the manor, but she not happy with the choices her parents are making for her future. When Philippe is sent away, it seems that all hope is lost, but their faith in God keeps them from giving up.
This book was a great beach read! Light-hearted, but with just enough intrigue to keep us interested. I love a good romance novel, and then to have a little mystery thrown in was a nice diversion. I felt, throughout the book, that it was fairly realistic. So often romance novels are pure fantasy - this would never happen in "real life", but in Where Hearts are Free I felt like I could have been reading the pages from someone's journal & I could picture this happening back in the 1600's. This book is the third one The Darkness to Light series, but I never felt like I was reading a series book. This book does stand on it's own.
As you can see - I really enjoyed the book. It is a great little romance novel<3
