On My Nightstand - The Bartered Bride by Erica Vetsch

Life is good for Jonathan Kennebrae until his grandfather announces he'll either marry the daughter of an influential grain baron or lose his inheritance. The match would help Kennebrae Shipping gain control of the harbor.

Jonathan and his bartered bride, Melissa Brooke, are enraged. Neither one wants to marry a total stranger, and they're wounded by the betrayal of their families.

Erica Vetsch provides lots of surprises along the way and kept me turning the pages. At 170 pages, it's a quick read for historical romance lovers.

    Hi Katie -

    Thanks for the testimonial. I thought the author picked an interesting time in American history and wove it into an unusual love story.

    Blessings,

    This book sounds like a fun romantic ride with lots of relationship tension. Just what a girl needs. :-)

    Hi Deborah -

    I agree. The soft colors attracted me, as well as the piano. I wondered how that figured into the story.

    Blessings,
