Publisher's summary

Selah Hopewell seems to be the only woman in the 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, daughter of the Powhatan chief.

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?

Best-selling and award-winning author Laura Frantz takes you to the salty shores of 17th-century Virginia in this exploration of pride, honor, and the restorative power of true love.

Very well written

This author has an awesome imagination that keeps you guessing. The story has so many twists and turns, you are unable to guess what is next. It’s entertaining, wholesome, captivating. I have added her to my list of authors to read. The narrator was pretty good, as well. I loved it.

Great story, boring Narration

I fell asleep so many times trying to finish this, the story was interesting, however it was simply read . No emotion or passion, no sadness or fear , so the scenes being read may be high intensity but it was just spoken and they lost all impact or connection. I suggest reading instead.

Another Excellent Book 📖 by Laura Frantz

I have enjoyed every book 📚written by Laura Frantz. I believe she is my favorite author. Tidewater Bride is another excellent book that Laura Frantz has written. I thoroughly enjoy how her books give you an understanding of how it was like to live during the books time period, location and culture. I especially like the way Laura Frantz describes the emotions and relationship between the main characters. Of course, the Bible verses that are part of the story, speak to my heart. I eagerly look forward to Laura Frantz next book.

One of her best

I enjoyed this book set in Jamestown during the Tobacco Brides period. Great characters and exciting plot, a lot of interesting historical details, and a sweet love story make it easy to recommend to Christian historical fiction readers. Really, all of Laura Frantz books are very good. You can’t go wrong with any of them.
