Customer Reviews

great historical romance

The Blizzard Bride is another in the fabulous Daughters of the Mayflower series. It is a historical fiction series that follows a family tree linked by the daughters across American history from the landing of the Mayflower through the events of World War II. In The Blizzard Bride, the author brings us to Nebraska in the late-1880s and the reader meets Abigail Bracey, a young woman on a secret mission to find a missing child. An unexpected pairing with a former suitor, who is now a Secret Service agent on the same mission, has Abby confronting her past heartache--an aching in the corner of her heart that she has ignored for a number or years now. Can she look beyond the hurt and forgive Dash so she can keep focused on identifying the boy before his counterfeiter father finds him? I loved the humor the author has written into the story as well as the historical information regarding the disastrous blizzard of 1888. I had not heard of this blizzard in which 200+ children tragically perished. The pages of this book were infused with drama, history, family, and emotional tension. And threaded throughout was the soft tender message of God--the One who heals our hurts and helps us do the difficult things in life. I am looking forward to reading more of this author's works and more, as well, in the Daughters of the Mayflower series, a series for those who love stories of history, adventure, romance, and family legacy.

Cold, unlike ever felt before!

The Blizzard Bride by Susanne Dietze February 2020 Barbour Publishing, Inc. ISBN: 9781643522937 Pages: 256 Reviewed by: mrsboone4, Green Forest, AR, USA 02/17/2020 Format: Softcover Rating: 5 Stars Abigail Bracey is a school teacher with an undercover assignment, for the Treasury Department. She is to find out the identities of a woman and boy in hiding, that are the sister in law and child of an evil man who murdered Abigail's father. She will have a contact within the Treasury Department, who will be her backup, in case she runs into trouble. Dashiell Lassiter is her contact, he is also her former fiancee, who broke off their engagement several years ago. Dash is supposed to be contactable, but he fouls up Abby's plans by moving to the same town in Nebraska as Abby and getting a local job there in a stable. The evil counterfeiter does not know where his son is, but he is believed to be heading straight to the town, where everyone is located. Trouble is, no one knows exactly what the evil man looks like. This is a great book, The Blizzard of the book is the one that struck Jan. 12, 1888 over the plains states. The temperature dropped so quickly that many children froze to death on their way home from school. That part is non fiction. I have read historical descriptions of the terrible storm, in the past. Many thanks to Barbour Publishing for the complimentary copy of this book, I was under no obligation to publish a review.
