Frontier
Want Ad Bride by Lyn Cote
I loved
this book! Judith becomes a mail order
bride. Upon arriving in Peptin, Wisconsin, she’s immediately sent to get ready
for her marriage to this man, Asa Brant.
She doesn’t know he recognizes her, she’s the sister of his old buddy
from the war. He wants to forget
everything about the war, he got rid of his first name, and moved as far as he
could in order to have a life without the interference of people wanting to
talk about the war. Especially his
wife. She is so kind to two children who
make their way to the farm, they steal food and hide in the woods, they’ve run
away from a home they were placed in when their parents died. Judith spends so much of her time trying to
get to know her husband, wishing to learn more about him and to get closer to
him. He keeps holding her at arm’s reach. He hasn’t consummated their marriage two
months later. She comes to know him as a
very nice man after time, and eventually she remembers where she’s seen him
before! You’ll have to pick up the book
if you want to know more. It’s a very
engrossing read, I read it in one day.
This book goes a little deeper than many of these types of stories
do I really liked it!
I received
this book in kindle format in exchange for an honest review!
Description as found on Good Reads:
Bride by
Mail Mail-order bride Judith Jones has barely arrived in Pepin, Wisconsin,
before she's whisked away to prepare for her wedding to Asa Brant. Though
something about Asa seems so familiar, how do two strangers become husband and
wife? Especially when Judith senses Asa's hidden sorrow. His kindness in
helping two young orphans could win her heart...if only he'd open up to her.
Determined to start over after four years of brutal war, Asa moved away and
sent for a mail-order bride. He had no idea the woman answering his ad would be
the sister of his former soldier in arms. The less he reveals, the fewer painful
memories there are to confront. But Judith's compassion - and two loving
children - might just show them the path to true happiness...
