The Cumberland Bride by Shannon McNear – Review

October 16, 2018 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

I’ve been looking forward to this installment of the Daughters of the Mayflower installment for a couple reasons. (besides the fact I am loving this series). First, while the story is set near my current residence, I knew very little about the Wilderness Trail. Another reason I wanted to read The Cumberland Bride is that Shannon McNear is a new-to-me author.

 

About the Book

The Cumberland BrideThomas Bledsoe and Kate Gruener are traveling the Wilderness Road when conflicts between natives and settlers reach a peak that will require each of them to tap into a well of courage.
A brand new series for fans of all things related to history, romance, adventure, faith, and family trees.

Love and Adventure Are Discovered on the Wilderness Road
In 1794, when Kate Gruener’s father is ready to move the family farther west into the wilderness to farm untouched land, Kate is eager to live out her own story of adventure like he did during the War for Independence and to see untamed lands. And she sets her sights on learning more about their scout, Thomas Bledsoe. Thomas’s job is to get settlers safely across the Kentucky Wilderness Road to their destination while keeping an ear open for news of Shawnee unrest. But naïve Kate’s inquisitive nature could put them both in the middle of a rising tide of conflict. Is there more to Thomas’s story than he is willing to tell? Is there an untapped courage in Kate that can thwart a coming disaster?

The Patriot Bride by Kimberley Woodhouse – Review

Have you been following along the Daughters of the Mayflower series through the Lytton family tree? The Patriot Bride takes us to the doorstep and into the foyer of the Revolutionary War.

The Patriot Bride

In My Opinion…

The Onset of the Revolutionary War, two spies, a man who will not take no for an answer, and supporting roles from George Washington and Benjamin Franklin are just a few of the highlight in The Patriot Bride, the latest release in the Daughters of the Mayflower series.

The Pirate Bride by Kathleen Y’Barbo – Review

March 31, 2018 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

Are you someone who doesn’t like a lot of romance in your…romance reads? There is a bit of that in The Pirate Bride, but this book is definitely heavier on adventure and the journey the hero and heroine take (in fact, they’re separated for eleven years in this story).
 

In My Opinion

In the second book of the Daughters of the Mayflower series, readers are taken back to the sea. This time in the waters of the Caribbean with threats of pirates and privateers to travelers.

Eleven-year-old Maribel Cordoba is fearless when it comes to experiences on the water even though all of her knowledge has come from books. When she joins up with Captain Beaumont’s privateers, her favorite place on the ship is up high as the lookout. The precocious girl charms the crew and eventually wins over the captain.

Kathleen Y’Barbo’s The Pirate Bride is a bit different from many historical romance reads out there in the fact that the hero and heroine are separated for much of the book. The romance portion is minimal up until the last quarter of the book. 

Don’t let that deter you from reading this one, though. Maribel is a girl you are immediately drawn to and as she becomes a young woman, that doesn’t change. The Captain’s air of mystery, as well as his uncertainty regarding one former member of his crew who was lost to him, will keep you reading these pages.

Y’Barbo’s portray of life on the high seas, on a Caribbean island home to children and the nuns who care for them and the fledgling city of New Orleans are descriptive and picturesque.

The Pirate Bride raises the bar set with The Mayflower Bride.
