Almost A Bride Bride Ships #4 by Jody Hedlund

 

I have loved all of the Bride Ship books, but I think Almost A Bride is my favorite. I love Kate's faith and her determination to marry a man who believes as she does. She is human though and has gotten engaged a few times. Both Kate and Zeke are strong people who are continuing to grow. I also adored some of the secondary characters and the setting is fabulous! So grab your coffee and sit back for a fantastic read!

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon:

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 fiancé, 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.
