Draw Me to Your Side Book 4 by Marguerite Martin Gray Book Review and Giveaway
ABOUT THE BOOK:
"Drew Me to Your Side” is book #4 in Marguerite Martin Gray’s
Revolutionary Faith Series. This can be a stand-alone book, but I recommend
reading the first three books. The book takes place in Charles Town, South
Carolina in 1776 during the Revolutionary War. The colonies and Britain are
still at war in 1776.
The main character who is focused in the book is Louis and
Elizabeth Lestarjette’s family. We see how they deal with the turbulent times
all while starting a family. Author Gray created well-rounded characters who
are relatable. I could tell she really did her research because I felt like I
was reading non-fiction of the lives of the Lestarjette’s family but it isn’t.
I loved reading parts of historical
documents about the start of our country. The dialogue between the characters sounded
authentic. You can see how much Louis and Elizabeth support each other and love
each other.
There is a family element to the story. There wasn’t much war
action. It amazing to see how people are sacrificing their lives to make a
great country of freedom. After reading books like “Drew Me to Your Side” I can’t
believe how they worked together to make this country great, but today’s time-period
we are so divided. It makes me sad. I think technology is the biggest reason
why we are so divided. Anyways, there is a clean romance between Louis and Elizabeth. Living in wartime is where the focus
lies. The book covers many issues including faith, secrets, love, loyalty,
respect, and disrespect.
The author does a great job of bringing you into the fear, emotions,
love, and faith. She captured the atmosphere of that time frame wonderfully. “Draw
Me to Your Side” is a historical romance full of adventure, love, and faith. Check out her other books “Hold Me Close” “Surround
Me” “Bring Me Near.” I am hoping Gray
will write book #5. I recommend reading “Drew
Me to Your Side” and the first three books.
“I received a copy from Celebrate Lit with no expectations of a
positive review. All opinions are my own. ”
ABOUT THE BOOK
Book: Draw Me To Your Side
Author: Marguerite Martin Gray
Genre: Christian Historical Romance
Release Date: February 25, 2020
Warships in the harbor explode with battle cries for freedom in the hearts of Charles Town’s Patriots.
Charles Town, South Carolina, 1776—With the British warships threatening his family and livelihood, Louis Lestarjette commits to aid Francis Marion, Christopher Gadsden, Silas Deane and other fiery Patriots with secret correspondences in code and in French. Although not convinced that the colonies can succeed in separation from Britain, he abides by his word—available with funds, his time, and if necessary, even his life.
Louis’ potential volatile role leaves Elizabeth Lestarjette uncertain of the future. Add to that her impending confinement, the secret missions her friends embark on, and the ever-encroaching danger into her domestic world, and the cost of independence grows steeper with each passing day. How will her family survive the coming turbulence? How will she survive not being an active part of it? One thing is certain, she must draw to God’s side or lose heart altogether.
Draw Me to Your Side… a prayer whispered against the coming destruction.

More from Marguerite
I have always loved history, probably because my father took me to every historical site he could find on our travels. As I listened to him tell the story of our ancestors to a group of tourists at our Antebellum home, I suddenly realized that he was weaving tales about my own bloodline. Very soon after that I flew to Charleston, South Carolina and began my research. From that first of many trips, my Revolutionary Faith Series arrived.Draw Me to Your Side is Book Four of the series. The titles play a very significant role in the series, each having a dual meaning. The human element is obvious. Although the series is more historical than romance, the titles offer a glimpse into a potential romance. The other element is spiritual. God is the one who weaves his love and hope into their lives.
If you love book titles as I do, as you read this series, see if you can determine the dual meanings of Hold Me Close, Surround Me, Bring Me Near, and now Draw Me to Your Side.
Happy Reading!
