My Review
Starving Hearts is the story of faith, doubts, romance, and mystery. Annette longs to find her unknown rescuer while her health and intellect turn away suitors. Thus begins Annette's doubt of God's existance. Peter is joining the church as a clergyman and wants a godly woman to stand at his side. After one failed engagement he meets a beautiful young woman who intrigues hims yet makes him feel unsettled. Annette and Peter go through awkward situations. Will their faith and love for each other sustain them? Will Annette overcome her fears and doubts? And will they sucumb to a mad man?
Starving Hearts is definitely for fans of Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. It is really that good. Full of twists and turns, romance, and learning to overcome your not-so-good current situations. They are is also a very well written villain that I loved reading about. Being that Starving Hearts is not only the first book in a new series, but the debut of Janine Mendenhall I must say that I am very impressed. With a debut they either fall completely flat for me or they are extrordinary. Starving Hearts absolutely falls under the latter.
