Almost a Bride

GIVEAWAY

HEDLUND, JODY

ALMOST A BRIDE

Always lose, but never a bride.

Longing to find true love, Kate Millington arrives in British Columbia on a bride ship. With countless men waiting to snag a bride, Kate has no trouble getting engaged, it's staying engaged that's the problem. After traveling to the remote mining town of Williamsville to marry her newest fiance, she finds herself single again.

As the prosperous owner of a gold mine, Zeke Hart has everything hes ever wanted except for a wife. At Kate's arrival, he takes it upon himself to protect his childhood friend from a the men clamoring to court her. The more he renews her friendship, the more he wants to win her for himself. But as much as Kate admires Zeke, she's resolved not to marry someone who doesn't share her faith.

When Zeke begins receiving anonymous threats, he unwittingly puts them both in grave danger. In the midst of peril, the past rises up to haunt them both, and Zeke realizes the fight for Kate's affection may be his biggest challenge yet.

My Review:

This is me in a puddle of goo from melting one too many times over this very swoonworthy hero. Addled meet discombobulated -- that's me! :-) Take this as your fans and fainting couch warning.

And Kate -- oh dear, she is the quintessential runaway bride! Of course, I knew that's because none of them were Zeke but she's just as skittish with him and sometimes I wanted to shake her silliness loose and give her a good pep talk. Alas, sometimes we must leave characters to figure things out on their own, even if it keeps us in a nail-biting, page-turning frenzy. (Well, actually speed listening since I 'read' the audible edition.)

And if you don't lose your mind over the shenanigans of this hero and heroine, you will absolutely adore Mr. Peabody. He's worth the read all on his own! A French spouting, British ex-pat with a flare for French cuisine and housekeeping -- he's Zeke's very proper manservant. And of like mind with me when it comes to Kate being destined for his employer. :-)

Great historical details and plenty of danger and adventure provide an exciting conclusion to Hedlund's Bride's Ship series with all the appropriate fanfare it deserves.
