A brand new series for fans of all things related to history, romance, adventure, faith, and family trees.

Love and Adventure Are Discovered on the Wilderness Road
In 1794, when Kate Gruener’s father is ready to move the family farther west into the wilderness to farm untouched land, Kate is eager to live out her own story of adventure like he did during the War for Independence and to see untamed lands. And she sets her sights on learning more about their scout, Thomas Bledsoe. Thomas’s job is to get settlers safely across the Kentucky Wilderness Road to their destination while keeping an ear open for news of Shawnee unrest. But naïve Kate’s inquisitive nature could put them both in the middle of a rising tide of conflict. Is there more to Thomas’s story than he is willing to tell? Is there an untapped courage in Kate that can thwart a coming disaster?

Join the adventure as the Daughters of the Mayflower series continues with The Cumberland Bride by Shannon McNear.

And now, my review:
The Cumberland Bride by Shannon McNear is a great 5^th book in this series put out by Barbour Publishing called Daughters of the Mayflower.  I have read the whole series so far and have really enjoyed each book.  Their covers draw me in and each author puts their own spin on each story.  Sometimes with series I feel like they try to stretch out something a little too far and yet with this one I love everything so far.  This particular story was really fun to watch as they take a journey and need to hire a man to see them there safely.  Kate finds herself asking questions of the scout, Thomas, and over time this starts to work on Thomas.  He’d rather not get tied down, but she has quite the pull.  I also loved how the author threaded in the historical side.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
