The Captured Bride by Michelle Griep
Book Description:
A War-Torn Countryside Is No Place for a Lady
Mercy Lytton is a lady like none other. Raised amongst the Mohawks, she straddles two cultures, yet each are united in one cause. . .to defeat the French. Born with a rare gift of unusually keen eyesight, she is chosen as a scout to accompany a team of men on a dangerous mission. Yet it is not her life that is threatened. It is her heart. Condemned as a traitor, Elias Dubois faces the gallows. At the last minute, he is offered his freedom if he consents to accompany a stolen shipment of French gold to a nearby fort—but he is the one they stole it from in the first place. It turns out that the real thief is the beguiling woman, Mercy Lytton, for she steals his every waking thought.
Can love survive divided loyalties in a backcountry wilderness?
My Opinion:
This is the Michelle Griep writing I LOVE! Anyone that follows my reviews knows that her last book wasn't my cup of tea, but since I've loved her others in the past I jumped at a chance to read The Captured Bride. And this is one that grabbed me and didn't want to turn me loose in the beginning. Towards the end the pace slowed in spots a bit, but everything wrapped up nicely! I LOVED these characters!!!! Elias especially became a huge favorite! This read like a fantastic western to me (except in the East! LOL!)! It's got action, suspense, love, betrayal, and Faith! OH those prayers and Faith moments, I LOVE THEM! It reminded me of the show Hawkeye in a few ways. Overall I enjoyed this read and wouldn't mind reading it again sometime. ;)
