Narrative In Pursuance Of Books A Bride Most Begrudging
Any ship arriving from England means good news for Virginia colony farmers. The "tobacco brides" would be on board--eligible women seeking a better life in America, bartered for with barrels of tobacco from the fields.Drew O'Connor isn't stirred by news of a ship full of brides. Still broken-hearted from the loss of his beloved, he only wants a maid to tend his house and care for his young sister.
What he ends up with is a wife—a feisty redhead who claims she is Lady Constance Morrow, daughter of an Earl, brought to America against her will. And she wants to go straight back to England as soon as she can. She hasn't the foggiest notion how to cook, dares to argue with her poor husband, and spends more time working on mathematical equations than housework. What kind of a wife is that? Drew's Christian forbearance is in for some testing.
Headstrong and intelligent, deeply moral but incredibly enticing, Constance turns what was supposed to be a marriage of convenience into something most inconvenient, indeed.

This really was a lovely story. Normally, I take notes about what I'll say in my reviews as I read, but I was so engrossed I completely forgot to do that. In fact, I sacrificed some sleep and a little of my own writing time just so I could finish the story in a weekend.First, let me comment on the history. 16th century Colonial America is not a time-period I'm strong in, but it seemed well researched and authentic. The dialogue was period-specific enough to sound genuine without being so stiffI would say only read this book if you're really desparate for clean historical romantic fiction. it's pretty groan-inducingly bad--as in, paragraphs and even pages skipped bad. it's set in Virginia early colonial days. I enjoyed hearing a little bit about the daily life of that time, and Native American-settler relations. But there really wasn't enough of that, and too much of a really annoying element about how the heroine liked to do math and helped her uncle with a women's math journal. I
I read this book for Book Club and I thought it was ok, except for a few things. It just kept going and going, one crazy crisis after another. Plus sometimes the main characters seemed dense to me. I just felt like I was on a roller coaster of problems the whole time, instead of really concentrating on developing characters the author developed multiple plot lines so by the end I just felt tired.
This book has you hooked at the beginning, slows down a little in the middle, but the end is exciting. Definately worth the read. In fact I find myself thinking about what life would have been like in early Jamestown...
I'm just going for the middle here. I really enjoyed the story and the plot itself. The writing is good and the characters feel multi-faceted. And I really loved the friendship with Mary and the child Sally.And I love the cover!And the tongue-in-cheek humor of including the skunk!Why it didn't get five stars:First, the focus on the physical. That is of course a part of the natural state of things, but these two seem to have started lusting for each other and enjoying fantasizing about deep
I really enjoyed this book! Set in a period of time I seldom read, this book was both exciting and romantic, although the main action was towards the end. I, myself, truly love books about forced marriage (or marriage of convenience) that end with both spouses falling in love with each other. Very romantic. A definite should-read to anyone who loves Christian fiction romance!
I don't know where to begin. Lady Constance morrow was kidnapped and sent to the Americas to be sold as a tobacco bride. She went through starvation, and mistreatment on the ship. She she arrives in Virgina, she is automatically bidden on by a horrible man. His name is Emmet. He buys her, and loses her in a game of cards. Cards, can you believe that. I for one would be quite mad if I were her. Anywho Drew wins her and takes her home. That's all I'll spoil!!I automatically fell in love with the
