BLURB:
April Simonson hated men—all men. They were cruel, sinful beasts. Her disfigured face was proof. That is until she met Jerek Brinkley. Then, as the revered Sultana explodes, April falls into the dark, muddy waters of the Mississippi River terrified she’ll never see the light of day or the handsome riverboat gambler again.
Jerek Brinkley fought hell and high water to save the northern vixen who’d won his heart with her cards tricks, only to fear Allan Pinkerton’s arrival in Memphis might reveal secrets he’s not ready for her to know.
Based on history’s greatest maritime disaster, An April to Remember, sprinkled with real facts and events, revives the Sultana, a civil war riverboat whose death toll surpassed the Titanic’s, and offers a new twist on what might have happened that fateful night in 1865.
REVIEW:
Set in Civil War times New Orleans April Simonson was a tough lady. Made that way from a hard childhood, growing up in a house where he father gambled everything away. She must watch over her younger brother, and his beautiful young daughter. He might easily slip into the same career as their father. The sinking of the "Sultana" changes everything for April.
A wonderful story by Ms Robinson, a must read for someone who loves a bit of
everything, heartache, catastrophe, romance, and passion. I loved it immensely,
and it was a very easy read.

Thank you so much for reading An April to Remember. I am thrilled you enjoyed the story, and appreciate your commitment to reviewing stories for authors. While on vacation in Memphis I heard about the Sultana, and knew I had to share the tragic story of this ship.
Sincerely,
