Book Review: A Bride At Last ~ The Review Stew

A book was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

About the book:

Abandoned by his mail-order bride, Silas Jonesey has fought an uphill battle to recover from a pattern of poor choices. Now his prayers for reconciliation have finally come true and his estranged wife has contacted him with her whereabouts.

Kate Dawson was supposed to be a mail-order bride, but upon realizing she'd been deceived about her intended groom, she's now settled into life as a schoolteacher. When the mother of a student passes away, Kate assumes she'll take on care of nine-year-old Anthony-until two men suddenly show up in town, claiming to be the boy's father.

Silas can see Anthony loves Kate, so he enlists her help in reaching out to the boy and attempting to prove his paternity to the court. When a common interest in Anthony leads to an interest in each other and Silas and Kate begin to think they can overcome their rocky start, neither is prepared for the secrets and past hurts that have yet to come to light. Can Silas, Kate, and Anthony's wounded souls bind them together or will all that stands between them leave them lonely forever?

About the author:

Melissa Jagears, an ESL teacher by trade and the author of A Bride for Keeps and A Bride in Store, is a stay-at-home mother on a tiny Kansas farm with a fixer-upper house. She's a member of ACFW and CROWN fiction marketing, and her passion is to help Christian believers mature in their faith and judge rightly.

My Opinion

I love reading about mail-order brides and that time period because it is just so amazing to me the strength, courage, and desperation many of these women had to have to be mail order brides. Each story is unique and it is really amazing that many of these marriages really worked!

Once again, Melissa Jagears spins another great mail order bride book (the third in the series). It is a stand alone book so don't worry if you didn't read the other two.

This book is full of suspense, love, faith and I loved every minute of reading it! Jagears fit A LOT into this book and I loved watching Silas, Kate and Anthony become a family!
