Undercurrent of Secrets (Doors to the Past) by Rachel Scott McDaniel


 Two women, a century apart, are bound by a haunting secret aboard a legendary steamboat.


Walk through Doors to the Past via a new series of historical stories of romance and adventure.

As wedding coordinator for the 100-year-old steamboat The Belle of Louisville, Devyn Asbury takes pride in seeing others’ dreams come true, even though her engagement had sunk like a diamond ring to the bottom of the Ohio River. When the Belle becomes a finalist in the Timeless Wedding Venue contest, Devyn endeavors to secure the prestigious title with hopes to reclaim some of her professional dreams. What she hadn’t planned on was Chase Jones showing up with a mysterious photo from the 1920s.
 
A century earlier, Hattie Louis is as untamable as the rivers that raised her. As the adopted daughter of a steamboat captain, her duties range from the entertainment to cook. When strange incidents occur aboard the boat, Hattie’s determined to discover the truth. Even if that means getting under First Mate Jack Marshall’s handsome skin.

My thoughts:

Rachel Scott McDaniel has penned an amazing dual timeline novel, that had me engaged throughout. It is the intriguing story involving the 100-year-old steamboat The Belle of Louisville and modern-day couple, Devyn Ashley and Chase Jones with a glimpse into Doors of the Past with Hattie Louis and First Mate Jack Marshall.

I loved both couples, but I admit to being more interested in Hattie and Jack.  There is an air of mystery and suspense that kept me guessing until the very end.  The timelines were woven together seamlessly adding to my overall enjoyment of this novel.  I highly recommend this must-read book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. I was under no obligation to post a review.
