My entry this week is from Hostage Heart, a romantic suspense involving a young lady from Louisiana whose family was affected by the devastation from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. But life goes on and a baby is on the way. Although she is an unwed-mother-to-be, the baby's father wants to be a part of his child's life... and hers.
Deanna had an older brother, Andres, but Ryan was dismayed to see a date of death listed. He looked at a picture she had stuck on the page of a young man in a marine uniform and assumed that was her brother.
She had several relatives in the Louisiana area and there were references to the Creole and Cajun culture. A picture of her mamere who had drowned during the Katrina flooding showed an older woman with the same dark eyes and a darker complexion than Deanna and her mother shared; she was truly another beauty. Deanna wrote that her maternal mamere was Chacuma from her grandfather. Deanna’s paternal line was pure Creole.

Review
Hostage Heart is a captivating read… I really enjoyed Chelle Cordero's 'Hostage Heart. It read quickly and kept my interest until the very end. I would highly recommend this book and I plan to read all of the author's other books. It took me along on the adventure. I enjoyed the romance.

Nice snippet--good device to get some information revealed. I like that he thought her mamere "she was truly another beauty." Not many young guys would think that about someone's grandma :-) Good 8!
Great 8. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. Lots of history here. Nice 8.
You've brought back a time in history in a seamless way all by having the hero open a family album. Perfect eight.
What a nice way to get some information out.
Fascinating excerpt about the extended family, I very much enjoyed the tone.
This looks like it will be a great book to learn more about the history of Louisiana. Very intriguing!
Very nice narrative and way to get in vital information without it being overwhelming. Thanks for sharing your 8!
Than you so much for all of your comments and visits. I really appreciate that you feel I didn't overload the past history
Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what
