Almost a Bride (Bride Ships) Review
My Review
I really appreciate all the research the author puts into her books. It makes for a better quality read and it's so fascinating to learn things from the historical books I read. Before this series I had never heard of Bride Ships.
Mail order brides, sure we've all heard of those but these are Bride Ships bringing the brides, some who this will be their last chance at happiness and a better life for themselves.
Yes, the ladies in this series took a big chance because as we all know no guarantees are there in life for well being and happiness. Life can turn in an instant from bad to good or good to bad so you really have to commend these ladies for putting their trust in God and leaving whatever they called home and praying for a better start for themselves.
I enjoyed the characters and the surprises along the way
especially a big one close to the end. The plot was outstanding and the words just flowed from
the authors fingertips onto the written page.
I am sad to see this series end as it is outstanding but I very much look forward to reading whatever the author has in store for us next. I can truthfully say I recommend all of this authors books! Publish date August 25,2020. I was given a complimentary copy. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.
