When I started to read this book, it seemed as thought I had already read it, I knew what was going to happen, but I know I hadn't read it because it just came out, but I have read the first two, so I guess they just keep sticking in my memory.

Lorenna Fields is a nurse back in 1866 and lives in Chicago and she had nursed in the civil war and saw everything, so nothing bothered her. One of her patients was a man that had been found in the water and he or no one else knew who he was. If you have read the first book you will know who he is, but Lorenna (Renna) as she is called from her on out, called him Mr Blackeyes. Renna got very attached to her patients and the other nurses didn't like her because of that, but she could not help it, she prayed for them and helped them in ways that she would want to be treated if she was them. She got attached to Mr. Blackeyes and felt sorry for him, as he could not remember who he was and he was blind also.

As Mr. Blackeyes begin to get some of his memory back another man came on the scene that was looking for him and wanted to get even with him. Mr. Blackeyes was being called a pirate by Renna as she cared for him since he was so mysterious. Her father had started going to see him at night and to read to him from the Bible, so he gave his heart to God and from here on out he was a changed man, even though he had done some bad things in his past.

Renna's father and mother brought him to their house for a while until his memory came back, then they carried him to his home where his children were waiting for him as his wife had died and they were to be raised by a friend as stated in his will if anything happened to him.

As the story progresses and Brian Sinclair (Mr Blackeyes) starts to remember who he is and Renna has a secret that she does not want him to know, strange things start to happen and it is all concerning Brian. Someone hates him and is after him. Can't wait until the next book comes out to see what happens in this series.

This book was sent to me free from Strang Book Group in order for me to review it.

Renna is a nurse and one of her patients was in a horrible boating accident that left him blind and with amnesia.
This beautiful man is a John Doe and Renna names him Mr. Blackeyes because (his eyes) "They’re as black as pitch and as shiny as polished stones."
Renna gets to know him and tries not to fall for him because she knows once he see's her, he will be like all the others. But later on, what he does, is beautiful and a great story of love and redemption.
Highly recommend! ( )

When you find an author that you absolutely love, love, love, you want ALL their books for your bookshelf. And that's just the kind of author that I've found in Ms. Boeshaar. Unwilling Warrior and Uncertain Heart were fabulous additions to this Season of Redemption series but, in my honest opinion, I feel like Unexpected Love outshines them both. It's full of meaning and depth and takes the reader on a roller coaster ride back into Historical Chicago, and ends up at unexpected emotional feelings along the way. Through Ms. Boeshaar's seasoned and skilled hand, this novel, as with her previous novels, comes to life.

Picking up where Uncertain Heart let off, Ms. Boeshaar brings us back into the life of Captain Brian Sinclair, the wealthy store owner who showed no love for anyone but himself and used so many people in the past. Ms. Boeshaar brings us into the life of Lorenna "Renna" Fields, the nurse who prayed for and took care of "Mr. Blackeyes" after a tragic boating accident left him with amnesia and blind. But, what of the feelings God's put in Mr. Blackeyes' heart for Renna? Can it be love, something he's NEVER experienced in his life? And, what of the birthmark on Renna's beautiful face? Can God show her, through her Mr. Blackeyes, that she's beautiful just as she is because her love for God and others shines from the inside out???

As I got to know both of these sweet characters, who were by far my favorite ones yet, I learned the answer to these questions and so much more. God poured His love through Ms. Boeshaar's words, into this book and truly captured me. With a touch of secrets and mystery this 3rd installment is highly worthy of 5 stars and recommendation! By the end of the book you'll be anxiously awaiting book 4!!! ( )
