Guest Reviewer - Love's First Light

Christophé, the Count of St. Laurent, has lost his entire family to the blood-soaked French Revolution and must flee to an ancient castle along the southern border of France to survive. But the medieval city of Carcassonne proves more than a hiding place. Here Christophé meets the beautiful widow Scarlett, a complex and lionhearted woman suddenly taken by the undercover aristocrat's passion for astronomy and its influence upon his faith. Although their acquaintance begins brightly enough, when the Count learns that Scarlett is related to the man who murdered his family, he turns from love and chooses revenge. Heaven only knows what it might take for Christophé to love again, to love his enemy, and to love unconditionally.

Love's First Light reminds us of how much God loves us and stresses how we can change our attitudes if we stay close to Him. The characters are brave, clever but most of all reverent as they move through the story. It was a wonderful memory refresher of the French Revolution. I learned some new side stories about the revolution.
