His constant mood swings and changing his mind every time something came up just frustrated me. I did enjoy the characters, mainly Constance and Mary but Drew (the love interest) kept making me mad. I would suggest choosing one or the other and making it consistent rather than switching. Lots of historical speech but then lapsing into a more modern tone. This book was fun and I got a few giggles out of it but the language was uneven. A Bride Most Begrudging's back drop in 1643 and is set during the tobacco boom of Virginia and the tobacco brides that help "settle down" the farmers. These were facinationg for me because they took me to the pioneers and how the American west was settled. I grew up reading Jeanette Oake's books, like Roses for Mama and A Bride for Donnigan. I have to admit that historical christian fiction is a guilty pleasure of mine. ![]()
