A Bride of Convenience kept my attention from start to finish. The idea of getting on a ship to sale to a whole other continent with the purpose of finding a husband, fascinates and horrifies me.

Zoe Hart is one of the women who takes the chance, driven by desperation and fueled by bravery. She’s hoping for a better future after a wretched past. She meets a man who seems to be a good prospect without realizing he had nasty, ulterior motive.

Meanwhile, Pastor Abe is waiting for his fiancée to join him, until he gets word she is betrothed to another. He’s distracted from his heartbreak by being giving an orphaned baby to find a home for. Cue Zoe. A wedding of convenience ensues and that’s really where the trouble starts .

A missing brother, a very unmarried fiancée and a temperamental bishop all effect the course of Zoe and Abe’s relationship, and whether they’ll survive with their growing family in tact or not, is another matter.

This book transported me from 2020 Virginia amid a pandemic, to the wilds of Canada where life can change in a second and there’s everything to fight for.
