A Perfect Bride (Bride books Book 5)
by Ginny Sterling
What I really enjoyed about this story is how the author
showed not all groups are bad or evil that no matter what race we belong to
there are good and bad people in each. One group of Indians kill and destroy a
family leaving one alive they didn’t know about why another group takes that
child in teaching it their ways as she teaches them hers. She grows up to be a
well around person until the day the army came taking them to a land far away.
In this army there were many men who were not very nice but others who were as
they gave all they could to protect these people. This is a story of struggle,
pain, starting over, leaving those you love, sorrow, love, and trusting others
to keep you safe. What comes out of it is a very touching highly emotional read
that pulls the reader in. So many lives were lost but a few made it out
starting over. There is some confusion for the characters, many
misunderstandings, soul-searching, love, and some very touching scenes that
will just about bring a tear to your eyes. I had many emotions as I read this,
some very happy ones as well as some very sad and depressing ones. No matter
how you look at it the Indians are native to our county they were the first
here and their lands, homes and life was taken away. I thought the author did a
wonderful job showing all the above with a wonderful plot that really pulls you
in and a love story that holds you spellbound.
Colleen’s was very young, her family was killed by Indians, as she walks down many hills, over rocks, through creeks and wild grass she has come to the end of her rope, thirsty, hungry and tired just about to give up when the Cherokee people find her. This is a very touching scene where she proves what she is made of and gets the interest of the chief. They adopt her, each teaching the other of their ways. Fast forward many years Colleen is now a young woman only to have her family being taken again. As the army move them to a different land much is lost, many are angry even the military that is there to protect them. A few gives them kindness, one man grabs Colleen’s attention he is a kind man who gave up so much to keep her and her family protected.
Lieutenant Williams is taken in by the beautiful long hair beauty with pale green eyes so much he can’t take his eyes off her. He goes the extra mile to help her and her family when times are tough giving extra food, covering etc. When things get dangerous he puts her before his job and country taking a path he never thought he would. Now it is time to put everything on the line and decide just what he is going to do with this green eye wonder.
Colleen is a very strong child who grows into even stronger woman. She doesn’t take things on the chin, has no trouble speaking up and telling things like they are. She is just a wonderful young lady who gives so much of herself for her people. Daniel is really an amazing man who puts others first and lives for his country. He is honorable, caring and so loving. There are some very wonderful characters here from her adopted family to some other wonderful soldiers. There are also some very evil bad people. I thought the author did a wonderful job showing all aspects with some very entertaining reading. I truly loved this story just wish there were a little more detail towards the end. There are other people the story is built around I would have liked to have known a little more. The author does give you a wonderful and entertaining read. There were a few times my heart was in my throat and other times I just sigh. I enjoyed it so much that I bought all the back books in this series and have picked it as one of my favorite reads.
