Here in this. Ok you will fine a collection of 8 stories of brides that will find their place in the back countries of America. I love historical fiction, so these stories were very much fun fir me to read and lots of entertainment! One thing I always love about these collections of short stories is that they only take an hour or so to read. So if you just want something to read that you will really enjoy, but not taking the time it takes to read and entire full book, these are just the thing.
Each author represented in this book are awesome authors so you can go wrong reading their stories! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did! I was provided this book by the author through Net Galley for my own opinion.

I love the history I can learn from reading these collections, the extreme circumstances and the situations these women have had to handle are unthinkable for a modern reader but these authors manage to take you back with a touch of romance,

A most enjoyable collection of stories set in the 1700's. The young country was still at war with the British and the natives didn't want the settlers around either. Mistrust abounded leading to massacres and the building of forts for protection. With the men and boys heading out to fight and often not returning or coming home maimed, the women and children were left to fend for themselves. This meant roles that were usually filled by a man were filled by a woman, something that was deemed unacceptable by some. There also were those that didn't belong in either world, since they had both white and native blood. These people were often abused, seen as less than worthy to be called a part of the family and were treated like servants. For some, their political leanings also alienated them from family and friends. The historical detail in these stories has once again taught me more about the beginnings of this great country we call home.

I received this ebook from NetGalley with no expectation of a positive review.

Follow these 18th century women through extreme circumstances to the possibility of finding true love. Each author brings a unique story taking the reader back in time and showing how life was very different and how each woman made decisions through difficulty. The stories are well written and intriguing. I received a copy of this book from the authors and NetGalley and this is my own personal honest opinion.
