This is the
first book in a new series by Tracie Peterson called Brides of Seattle. Living in Washington, I was drawn to this
book, and the cover is intriguing.
Lenore has
seen the man of her dreams. Her family
has money and is getting ready to leave Seattle, but Lenore hopes that her
talkative friend, Abrianna, will sing her praises to Kolbein while she's gone. Lenore knows almost nothing about the man,
but she's determined that he's the one she's going to marry.
Kolbein has
come from Chicago to try and find his sister.
He was trying to tell her what to do, so she ran away. He's tracked her as far as Seattle and shows
up at the Bridal School hoping to find answers.
Instead, he sees Lenore and she begins to consume his thoughts.
First off, I
want to warn you that there are aspects of this story that make me think it's
going to be a continuous series. The
main reason is that we have a villain smuggling drugs and branching out into
smuggling women, but he's only dealt with on a superficial level. There's also the story of Wade and Abrianna
that is left unresolved. I liked their
characters more than Lenore and Kolbein and was disappointed to find that their
story isn't the topic of the next book in the series.
Speaking of
the next book - Refining Fire comes out June 30, 2015 and revolves around
Militine and Thane. I'll be on the
lookout for it, since I'm not sure what's going on with the villain and I'm
hoping to read more about Abrianna and Wade.
Overall, I think if you go into it with the mindset that you might be
signing on for all three books for a complete story, you'll be fine. Even though I usually shy away from this type
of series, I'll give this one my Good Book! review.

a copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley in exchange for an
honest review.
