Ransome's Crossing by Kaye Dacus
5.0
Beginning where Ransome's Honor left off, Ransome's Crossing is mostly Charlotte Ransome's story.
Wanting to get to her secret fiance, Henry, Charlotte disguises herself as a boy and becomes a midshipman on one of the ships in her brother's convoy that happens to be bound for Jamaica. While she thinks she wants to marry this man, after meeting her brother's first lieutenant, Ned Cochrane, Charlotte begins to question who she really wants to marry. When circumstances force Ned and Charlotte together, he discovers her secret but for various reasons decides to keep it. Through everything they face, Charlotte begins to realize where her heart truly lies. But on this voyage, she quickly comes to the understanding that there's more than her heart on the line.
I like the way Kaye manages to focus on Charlotte and her growth both spiritually and physically but also gives us views of William and Julia's struggles as well as what Ned is going through.
Filled with action, adventure, romance and faith, Ransome's Crossing can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order so that you can understand some of the back story that is spoken of.
