    About this ebook

    All along the eastern seaboard, the American struggle for independence rages. In the British-held southern port of Mobile, Alabama, the conflict brewing is quieter--though no less deadly. The lovely Frenchwoman Lyse Lanier is best friends with the daughter of the British commander. Rafael Gonzalez is a charming young Spanish merchant with a secret mission and a shipment of gold to support General Washington. As their paths cross and their destinies become increasingly tangled, Lyse and Rafael must decide where their true loyalties lie--and somehow keep Lyse's family from being executed as traitors to the British Crown.

    With spectacular detail that brings the Colonial South alive, Beth White invites readers into a world of intrigue and espionage from a little-known side of the American Revolutionary War. Her richly textured settings and characters delight while fast pacing and closely held secrets will keep readers turning the pages.

      There is history, romance, danger and secrets to be had in this book. An adventure from 1700s. Genevieve and her sister arrive in the New World with a promise to marry one of the men. They do not find it as they hoped. Tristan tries to avoid helping the French settle the colony yet keeps getting asked to aid. There are secrets in both Genevieve's and Tristan's lives. True love cast out fear. It brings hope and faith.A book hard to lay down.

      Genevieve and her sister travel across the ocean to become brides for French settlers off the Louisiana coast. When none of the men at the fort meet with her approval, she finds herself thinking more and more about Tristan, a man who lives outside of the settlement. I thought this book was alright. It was a little bit slow at times and some of the characters seemed to simplistic. I wanted more romance between Genevieve and Tristan, after all, they were ignoring each other one moment and married the next. Somehow, this book just lacked realism.
    • 3/5
      Albeit a little sappy, this wasn't a half bad inspirational historical fiction. Based on a largely forgotten piece of little known history, this story followed the plight of the french women sent to the Americas aboard the Pelican to become brides to military men holding down a fort in Louisiana. They became known as "the Pelican brides" and unfortunately many of them succumbed to sickness on the way their and upon arrival. This fictionalized account follows young Genevieve Gaillain and her sister as they escape France and try to find refuge in The New World. If they thought they would be safer in Louisiana they were solely mistaken. Men fight for the women's attentions, sickness claims many, "savages" roam the streets; they traded one hellish adventure for another. Genevieve soon finds herself falling for the roguish, brute, Tristan Lanier and wonders if he could ever love her, despite her sordid past. Filled with political intrigue, romance, brawls, and suspense. This is a good crossover book for those who are thinking about dipping into the inspirational romance genre. It's not too heavy handed, yet plays an integral part of the story line. I received this book for free from Revell Reads in return for my honest, unbiased opinion.

      A Fascinating Story!This is the first time I've read a novel by Beth White and I'm very impressed!The Pelican Bride is set in the early 18th Century Mobile region of the Louisiana Territory. This is an era of history of which I know little about. I learned much while reading this fascinating book. I also found the main characters to be strong and quite endearing.There were many religious differences in the early 1700's. In this story, Genevieve Gaillain and her sister, Aimee, arrive in America on a ship named the Pelican. They journey to the Louisiana Territory in search of husbands, but primarily to flee religious persecution. They expect much more than they find in the New World. Life is difficult, disease is common, and the region is tense with political problems.Tristan Lanier is the first man Genevieve meets as she leaves the Pelican. He helps her ashore and their paths continue to cross. Both Genevieve and Tristan harbor past secrets. Tristan has lost his faith in God, and Genevieve is true to her faith no matter how much, or how often, that faith is tested. They seem to be at odds, yet feel an undeniable attraction to each other. Many hardships and much intrigue forge their relationship. Tristan and Genevieve continue to grow individually, and as a couple, throughout the book. As I said, I was unfamiliar with this period of history when I began reading. By the end of the book I had learned so many things about early Gulf Coast history! I was drawn into the story and really enjoyed discovering how the plot unfolded. Beth White is a gifted writer who is able to transport the reader to another time and place in a way which educates and entertains. The Pelican Bride is rich in historic detail, romantically touching, and thought provoking in spiritual matters. I can't wait for the release of the next book in the Gulf Coast Chronicles!I received this book from the publisher, through The Book Club Network, in exchange for my honest review.
    • 4/5
      I read a lot of historical fiction, and I have not yet read a story in the 1600s set in Louisiana and that location in general attracted me as well as broadening my experience through the ages. I'm not familiar with Beth White, and I believed that this is her debut book in the historical markets that I roam around in filling my imagination with stories; however, I have since discovered that she does in fact have some Love Inspired Historicals as well as many contemporary novels published as Elizabeth White. After this novel, I definitely will be looking for the rest of the Gulf Coast Chronicles series as well as other stories to come from Beth White in the future. (According to Goodreads, there is more than one author by this name, so be aware of which one you're looking for.)The first thing, this book, The Pelican Bride has going for it is cover beauty. The model chosen for the bride image has breathtaking eyes and the dress is so detailed with accessories that imagining it staying crisp and clean in the watery-muddy setting of the Louisiane is fascinating on it's own. While not a fast paced story, this is an intriguing and entertaining story that can make a reader really think about their opinions on the matters that our dear Genevieve Gallian faces as well as our hero Tristan Lanier. Like most books these days I have an opinion of how I want to have things end up for our characters, but so many things in this plot kept me interested and in full desire to turn the pages on-going. For a bit I was curious about the Alabaman Indian wife Niki and her tough situation wondering how she would fit in to the rest of the characters' world... yet I kept trekking in the novel and enjoyed it as I did so. This is a lovely story on the cover and the page.

      They say do not judge a book by its cover. I picked up this book because of the lovely cover and I liked the title. I was pleasantly surprised as soon as I started to read it. It is not your usual Christian romance novel. My favorite type of book is historical romance and this did not disappoint. I love the way Beth has interwoven rich historical detail into the romance novel. I felt I was getting the benefit of two books in one. The storyline was filled with intrigue and romance. I found it a great read and would recommend it to anyone who likes a historical Christian romance.
    • 5/5
      Breathtaking portrayal of life in New France!Beth White makes history come alive in vivid detail with beautiful, spoiled French belles; puffed-up, money-hungry "aristocrats" ruling the colony;French traders who question their loyalty to the crown, but detest England; and the native Indians, who are many groups and varied in purposes and friendliness towards the colonists.There is plenty of romance with the women who came across the ocean on the Pelican finding matches in the colony, esp. Genevieve Gaillain ,and her sister, Aimee, plus the Lanier men. King Louis XIV's court doesn't have anything on the suspense and intrigue that occur within and without the fort due to people's aspirations of power and money. Secrets. Genevieve is hiding some big ones. But so are Tristan, Nika, and some of the rulers of the colony.Each of these secrets affect many of the colonists in their own way. Did I mention hair-raising suspense and disaster are part of this volume as well?!What a fabulous historical read!! Fortunately, it's only the first in the Gulf Coast Chronicles. My eyes are peeled!! I received this book from bookfun.org in exchange for an honest review.

      I have read several contemporary romance novels by Mississippi native Beth White. She always brings a great sense of place to her books, so when I heard she had written an historical novel set in the fledgling Louisiane colony, I knew I had to read it. Filled with rich historical detail, The Pelican Bride is a perfect read for those who love history and romance.Genevieve Gaillain, along with her sister Aimee and other women from France, is transported upon the Pelican to find a husband among the French soldiers and Canadian craftsmen that have settled into the new Louisiane colony (now Mobile, Alabama). What they encounter definitely does not exceed their expectations. Rough living conditions, even rougher perspective beaus, an unstable political environment and hostile Native peoples combine to create at least a little fear. But their contracts state that they must find husbands, so the courting begins. But Genevieve has secrets that make choosing a husband tricky. Can she trust God to safely lead her in the New France?Set in 1704, The Pelican Bride was meticulously researched. The peoples and place that was the capital of the French colony in the American South come to life in Beth White’s hands. New-to-me history and an intriguing plot kept me reading. I especially liked the political machinations and the relationship between the French settlers and the Native Americans. There is plenty of political intrigue and detail about the Huguenot persecution to create a well-developed historical setting. The blend of characters, both historic and fictional, was interesting as well. My favorites were Jesuit priest, Father Mathieu and Nika, a native woman integral to the plot. The romance is a bit predictable and perhaps stretches believability. The two main characters, Genevieve and Tristan Lanier. resist their attraction for the first half of the book and then suddenly marry and fall in love. But The Pelican Bride is first and foremost a romance and follows along the prescribed lines for the genre.All in all I would recommend The Pelican Bride to all who love an historical romance. The little known era detailed in the book makes it a fresh and interesting read.Recommended.(Thanks to Revell for my review copy. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)

      Like people through the ages, Frenchwoman, Geneviéve Gaillain has come to the Louisiana Colony more or less for religious freedom. Her father was murdered for his Huguenot Christian Faith, and Geneviéve was imprisoned for also shooting and killing a guard who was taking her father.Escaping France and going to the colonies had to be a very brave thing for a young woman, she escaped prison with the help of a Priest and traveled to King Louis’s colony. She is also responsible for her younger sister, and rather spoiled young lady, Aimée. A girl that could use a good spanking at times, she sure causes her share of problems for all that know her.Welcome to the exciting, and often-cruel new world, survival to an older age here sure seems to be very limited. Life is extremely hard, and dealing with nature, bugs, Indians, and lack of food. Imagine everyone’s surprise when they find that Ginnie is a baker, and a fine one at that.There are several women who came to the colony in the hopes of making a successful marriage. They are at a place where men totally out number woman, and only a few will win the heart, or luck of marrying. At times they must have felt like a piece of goods on display. All is not happy in this harsh place, and what happens to some of these woman, can and does break them.We find that we do not know who or whom to trust, one seems likely, but you had better think twice. Where a few who love and protect will do it to the death, others are just users. Come and enjoy this historical story, so much to think about, and see how this early colony in America lived and how they got established. This is a many faceted love story, with both happy and unhappy outcomes. Once you pick this one up you will not be able to leave it alone. Enjoy!I received this book through Revell Publishers Blogger Tour, and was not required to give a positive review.

      What a fantastic historical fiction novel! This is my favorite genre to begin with but this book was amazing! Two young sisters, Genevieve and Aimee Gaillain, take a perilous journey to the Louisiana colony in 1704 as mail order brides. Their transport, the French ship the Pelican seems to be the answer to the problems they are facing in their homeland. Their father, a baker, became a martyr for their religious beliefs that went against the Catholic Church. Genevieve is also fleeing execution as a murderer for shooting a soldier to defend her family.Scared but hopeful they embark on their journey in hopes of finding a good husband and religious freedom. They quickly find they Louisiana is not as promised. Instead they find themselves thrown into the midst of a disorganized settlement filled with filth and immorality. The men they have to choose from are dishonest and crude, even the officers. They must continue live in fear and secret concerning their religious beliefs. Genevieve has protected a portion of her father’s yeast from his bakery that she plans use to make a living as a baker in this new world. Her young sister Aimee is awed by the pomp and importance of the officers, failing to see their glaring lack of sincerity and character. Tristian Lanier, a widower who has nursed a broken heart for many years surprises everyone and asks Genevieve’s hand in marriage. Even more surprising he does so before leaving on a 2 month journey to encourage support and peace of local Indian tribes. His chances of coming back alive are slim.In addition to the disgusting conditions of the settlement, lawlessness rules, especially in the corrupt leadership. Genevieve finds herself stretched thin trying to help the other suffering women, protect herself and Aimee, and living with the uncertainty and fear for their lives.One thing that made this such a fantastic historical Christian novel is how the author included so very many detailed facts of politics at that time and the raw and difficult living conditions of the people. The story was fast paced and exciting. Do not read when going to bed at night! It certainly made me think about how blessed we are with our religious freedom today! I received this book free from Revell publishers. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
