~ MY REVIEW ~
**4 stars**
I don’t always really enjoy these short
novellas, but The
Substitute Bride was a lovely, refreshing story. I
enjoyed the prairie/farmer life and the connections I found to the LOVE
COMES SOFTLY series
by Janette Oke.
A widower with two
small children and a black past. A desperate young woman fleeing an arranged
marriage who switches places with a mail-ordered-bride. Gambling that ruins
lives. Debts that threaten lives. A call from God. A beautiful love story
written by God.
A cute, enjoyable
story to be sure. There was some important lessons and deep themes as well,
that made The Substitute Bride into
more than just a fluffy romance.
There were a few
things that weren’t settling so well with me. –Like little Anna’s snotty,
disrespectful attitude; and the women of the town acting like their home life
is such a drudge! But overall, those things worked out smoothly and satisfying.
A sweet, faith-filled
romance overall. The Substitute Bride was a
charming, short read for me.
