Almost a Bride

Written by Jody Hedlund

Narrated by Esther Wane

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 fiance, 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.

Reviews for Almost a Bride

[Sharon Spence · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Barely made it through this book. The lead character has these godly principles about not marrying someone unless they’re equally yoked which is great but she shows no relationship with Christ in any of her choices; from interviewing all these rough men in a mining town, being stubborn against wise advice, not ever praying in the story etc. One minute she’s bold and has convictions, the next she’s fearful and double minded. But a fair storyline.

After reading Book 3 in this series, which was fabulous, I wondered how Hedlund would pull off the next book. She did it! It's wonderful! I have now read all the books in this series and I am sad to be finished. They are that good - through to Book 4.

This has been the most wonderful series, I've enjoyed every book in the series.
