Love Unexpected by Jody Hedlund5/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Within a gorgeous cover is a story I adored and I am truly looking forward to reading book 1, The Reluctant Bride, as well as book 3, A Bride of Convenience, on the near horizon. ![]() With obvious research done on the land, the epidemic, and the affected tribe, coupled with the defined characters, I not only reveled in the story but also learned some tidbits of the time period I was lacking. Finding humor, faith, romance, history, wilderness and forgiveness, I was not disappointed as my expectations from this author were met. Reading anything and everything that author Jody Hedlund writes, though I missed the first book in The Bride Ships series, I definitely enjoyed Book 2, The Runaway Bride, which worked just fine as a stand-alone. Forced to decide between character and society expectations, Arabella must make some hard choices which could impact her future and her heart… Taking place during the Smallpox epidemic of 1862, not only do the men clash over Arabella but also over the prescribed treatment of the involved tribe and their own associated societal-class positions. ![]() ![]() Vowing to protect herself as well as her heart this time, she soon is sought after by two men, Lieutenant Richard Drummond, a man of the Navy, and Peter Kelly, a baker. Running from a past which scarred her emotionally, upper-class member Arabella Lawrence finds herself on a bride-ship from England to Vancouver Island. Bloomington, MN: Bethany house Publishers. The Runaway Bride: The Bride Ships- Book 2. ![]()
