Will she be able to save her father from the island’s magic before she falls victim to it herself?
When Megan Standish finds out about her father’s new relationship, she storms into the Suamalie Islands to rescue her father and carry him home to New Mexico. He’s firmly planted on Alexandre, however, but she refuses to let the island’s magic cast a spell on her decision. Even when a handsome islander and his daughter knock at her heart.
Jean Girard is a local with a flourishing transportation business taking passengers from island to island. When he encounters Megan’s stormy tirade on his boat, he promises to shelter his daughter and himself from her negative vibes. His concern continues to grow as he watches his daughter get attached to the American.
Either Jean will have to create an even bigger hedge of protection around his daughter and his heart from this pouty, controlling woman, or he will have to trust God to peel back the stubborn, hurting layers of the past and allow the miracle of His love again.
Take a trip to the Suamalie Islands where palm trees sway, the sand and sea pulse with life, and the people will steal your heart.

More from Marguerite
I have enjoyed this series and the relationships forming as the characters find new ways to communicate on the journey. Are you a good communicator? Introvert or extrovert? Conversation is so very important. Think about how we use it every day: directions, warnings, concerns, prayers, instructions, disciplines. Even though I teach online, my words of concern and instruction are needed to spur the students toward success. Somehow, I have the words to communicate well in so many areas of my life.
Then what about the heart? I think of the Valentine’s candy hearts—Conversation Hearts! As relationships develop between characters in Room for Love and Conversation Hearts, the heart becomes more and more a major component with all the characters. Yet, sometimes we fail to really say what we think in order to protect our hearts. There are many lessons to learn about being honest in relationships. Sometimes we avoid the conversation part and miss out on the wonderful relationships.
I embrace the conversation of the heart in my life through love, decisions, marriage, job, God appointments, children, and difficult circumstances. Explore different facets of important conversations with Amy and Walker and their families as you read this installment of Suamalie Islands series.
Happy Reading!

My Review
Conversation Hearts is the fourteenth installment from the multi author Suamalie Islands series. I loved once again travelling to these beautiful islands. I have loved reading books from Marguerite Martin Gray and this one is no different. I enjoyed getting to know the main characters and continuing reading on to find out what would happen to them in the end. I thought it was a sweet and delightful book. I was entertained from start to finish.
I am giving Conversation Hearts a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who love to read quick, clean and wholesome romance. I look forward to reading the next addition from the Suamalie Islands series, Melissa Wardwell's All an Act.
I received a digital copy of Marguerite Martin Gray's Conversation Hearts from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
This looks really interesting. Thanks for hosting.
