About the Book
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.
My Thoughts
"Almost a Bride" is the 4th book in the Bride Ships series but could be read as a standalone. Some of the characters from the other books are mentioned, especially from the 3rd book (A Bride of Convenience) as it was about Zeke's twin sister. I think that the first 2 books were more closely tied together and the then the last 2 books. I enjoyed reading this series and the history behind the bride ships Thus book did not have anything from on the ship itself unlike the other books. Biblical faith played a big roll in this story and there was nice character growth. The characters don't do anything more than kissing, but the kisses at times were quite passionate. I look forward to reading more books by Jody Hedlund.
