"Almost A Bride" by Jody Hedlund

Kate Millington has never lacked suitors. Especially not after leaving her home in Manchester, England, for the rugged terrain of British Columbia. Since arriving on the bride ship she's had plenty of interested men. But none of them draw her as much as her childhood neighbor, Zeke, who happens to have settled in the same town. There's only one problem—Zeke left his faith behind in Manchester. And she won't settle for a man who doesn't follow Christ.

Zeke's hard work has paid off. A successful miner, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, he has a lot going for him. But it stings that Kate refuses a romantic relationship with him. While using his influence to try to steer other men away from Kate, someone is trying to sabotage his own success with the same goal. Who is out to get him? Will it really keep Kate safe if he stops befriending her?

If you have enjoyed Jody Hedlund's Bride Ships series, you'll definitely enjoy this final novel in the collection. I appreciated the focus on being equally yoked. There was plenty of excitement and romance to carry the plot, but the faith aspect was what really touched my heart. Would recommend for fans of both Jody Hedlund and historical romance.

I received my copy of the book from the author. All thoughts in this review are my own.
