About the Author

In 1992, Lawana Blackwell published Shores of Promise and Shores of Deliverance with Heartsong Presents Publishers under the name of Kate Blackwell. She began her writing career by joining the Gilbert Morris writing group after calling him out of the blue and talking to him about her desire to write. She stuck with the group (while many other members did not) and finally saw her work published. She says that she owes much to Gil and his persistence at keeping the members of the group writing.

Lawana and her husband, Buddy, have three sons and reside in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

4.0 out of 5 stars a satisfactory conclusion to the series, June 21, 2001

Book #4 of this series goes back to the Burke family introduced in book 1. Deoborah, eldest daughter of Edward and Rachel, possesses a talent for opera singing, and her father arranges for her to go to London to study with a well-known diva. While there, she will live with the elderly Burke family friend Helene Knight. At the same time as Deborah is moving to Miss Knight's home, her ne'er-do-well nephew Gregory is making arrangements of his own. Not wanting to spoil his social life, Gregory decides to fulfill his weekly visits to Aunt Helene by hiring an imposter. Matthew Phelps, who desperately needs the income, takes the job, although his conscience bothers him constantly, especially as he begins to fall for Deborah. At the same time, the servant boy Thomas, who also desperately needs income to provide for his ill mother, falls into the clutches of an evil man who insists that he steal from his employer in order to pay for his mother's hospitalization. As Deborah's lessons progress, she realizes that she is to be used as a pawn for her tutor to have a cover for her adulterous affair, and she has to decide if she will put her career over her Christian values. Like the other three books in the series, Blackwell successfully keeps several plotlines going at the same time to provide interesting, only occasionally predictable, reading. I enjoyed this series immensely and recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading Christian romance and intrigue and seeing the power of the Lord at work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love, betrayal, and intrigue, April 5, 2000

I loved reading this book! Deborah and Matthew are great characters along with Gregory, Thomas, Miss Knight, and Clarisse Pella. Deborah's dream is to be a opera singer, but will she make the right decision for her career? Matthew Phelps is a clerk who meets Deborah (in a very interesting way)and falls for her. Deborah is attracted to the man is not what he appears and must find the truth before she gets hurt. The plot is great and well-developed. Lawana Blackwell did another amazing job on the final book in the VICTORIAN SERANADE series. If you like to read about Victorian England, romance,struggles with moral standards, fear,(I don't want to give too much away.) This is the book for you to read! You won't be disappointed in this one!
