5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written Historical Fiction Exploring the Dynamics of Human Behavior & Relationships
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2022
The Captain & Mrs. Vye is an adventurous story that will bid your attention. MaryAnn Diorio not only has the ability to describe her characters' outward appearances, but precisely describes their hearts, emotions, motives, and attitudes. This enabled me to identify with some of the characters to the extent that I felt God speaking to my own heart. If you're interested in a well-written story that will captivate your heart, choose this one! Although I received an advanced copy of the book, this review is entirely my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet story with great characters
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2023
I've had the privilege of reading many of author MaryAnn Diorio's books and can say without doubt that The Captain and Mrs. Vye ranks up there with my favorites among her novels. As usual, her characters are well-crafted. I especially loved a plot twist near the end of the book, which I will keep secret. And Ms. Diorio's settings never fail to delight.
Readers who enjoy powerful thematic books from a Biblical perspective will find The Captain and Mrs. Vye inspiring.

Engaging Historical Fiction
This was a delightful story and historically accurate. The characters were realistic and easy to identify with. Being from South Jersey myself, I loved the Cape May, NJ, setting. I am looking forward to another book in this series.
