The River Queen, by Stephenia H. McGee, 2023, The Vine Press, Ebook

The River Queen plunges readers into the scenario of American rivers a hundred years ago, when travelling theatres on luxurious boats brought entertainment to cities and towns along their routes. It sounds so fun!

The story features pirates, smuggling, and amusing and dastardly characters of all sorts. Marijuana, then called muggles, was starting to come to the States from Mexico.

Stephenia McGee keeps it light, amusing, and mysterious, with romance in the forefront. Click here to view my comments on other books by her: https://pearladapridham.com/?s=Stephenia+McGee

I read The River Queen as an E-book, but I must admit I much prefer paperbacks. To hold a book in my hands, smell the paper, and look again and again at the beautiful cover really contributes to my enjoyment. So, here is the Amazon link to the paperback: https://www.amazon.com/River-Queen-Christian-Historical-Romances/dp/1635640687/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1PDFURGZMTS7W&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.D66bsqaE7tOf1MlDhdD61wlwibee7pcRMnb4uwrpaL0UO4ZsSEhnzZ0ehZXxQZKlTokhxF8Lm7k9K-b3GlHwzXmd8DRq479WgdQlxunsKAo.1442iwEo4iUQQnn5jGwnjyzVvUgFscVko8sh-bki9wE&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+river+queen+stephanie+mcgee&qid=1713464899&sprefix=The+River+Queen%2Caps%2C163&sr=8-1#detailBullets_feature_div.

Or, download the E-book and read from your cell phone whenever you have a few minutes of down time. Though it may not be as satisfying, it’s definitely more convenient. Personally, I find it not as easy to keep track of characters that way. With a paperback in hand, it’s easy to flip back to where they first came on the scene and refresh your memory. Pros and cons…

I hope you enjoy the story as much as I did.
