About the book:
They're both too busy for love . . . but love is not too busy for them

Selah Hopewell seems to be the only woman in Virginia Colony who has no wish to wed. True, there are too many men and far too few women in James Towne. But Selah already has her hands full assisting her father in the family's shop. And now she is in charge of an incoming ship of tobacco brides who must be looked after as they sort through their many suitors.

Xander Renick is perhaps the most eligible tobacco lord in the settlement. His lands are vast, his crops are prized, and his position as a mediator between the colonists and the powerful Powhatan nation surrounding them makes him indispensable. But Xander is already wedded to his business and still grieves the loss of his wife.

Can two fiercely independent people find happiness and fulfillment on their own? Or will they discover that what they've been missing in life has been right in front of them all along?

My thoughts:

Tidewater Bride was a phenomenal read. I've long been a fan of Laura Frantz's stories, so I could hardly wait to read this new book. It surpassed my already high expectations! 

The main characters were amazing. They had such depth and I loved getting to see their romance progress. The setting was very interesting and unique. I enjoyed the "tobacco bride" aspect and also thought the little bit of danger in the story really added a suspense that I loved.

All in all, Tidewater Bride was amazing and I highly recommend it to fans of historical romance. I am eager to see what Laura Frantz writes next. :)
