Almost a Bride

By Jody Hedlund

Always close, 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 fianc , she finds herself single again.

As the prosperous owner of a gold mine, Zeke Hart has everything he's ever wanted except for a wife. At Kate's arrival, he takes it upon himself to protect his childhood friend from 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.

Captivating historical romance

Almost a Bride by Jody Hedlund is the fourth and last book in her Bride Ships series. I read and thoroughly enjoyed the third one and was not disappointed in Almost a Bride. Although part of a series, this last one could easily be a stand alone story. I'd recommend reading the series since I did find it interesting to see characters from the previous book, A Bride of Convenience. I need to go and read the first two! Both Kate and Zeke have issues from the past that bring a lot of tension into their relationship. Was it ever possible for a woman to be certain about a man? After being engaged a number of times, will Kate be willing to trust enough to marry? Zeke has been running from past mistakes and has become a self-made success. Will he be willing to trust a God who allows difficult things to happen? The author brings her readers a quick read with great, well-developed characters, a story line that is action-packed, strong spiritual truths, and a captivating romance. Almost a Bride is a wonderful story and readers who enjoy historical romance will not want to miss this one. I read a complimentary copy of the book and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
