The Maid of Ballymacool

An easy read because it's so entirely predictable. All the standard tropes are here and Deibel uses them to decent effect. The pacing is good and characterization is simple. Overall, people who enjoy this sort of thing (Christian romance) will enjoy this but it's not my bag and if I'd realized how much god-bothering was in this I would not have requested an ARC. I was curious to read historical fiction set in Ireland but there was very little history, much to my disappointment; I appreciated the use of Gaelic however.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review.
