Book Review: The Blizzard Bride by Susanne Dietze

Series: The Daughters of the Mayflower: Book 11
Publisher: Barbour Publishing
Release Date: January 15, 2020
Genre: Clean Historical Romance

Abigail Bracey arrives in Nebraska in January 1888 to teach school…and to execute a task for the government: to identify a student as the hidden son of a murderous counterfeiter—the man who killed her father.

Agent Dashiell Lassiter doesn’t want his childhood sweetheart Abby on this dangerous job, especially when he learns the counterfeiter is now searching for his son, too, and he’ll destroy anyone in his way. Now Dash must follow Abby to Nebraska to protect her…if she’ll let him within two feet of her. She’s still angry he didn’t fight to marry her six years ago, and he never told her the real reason he left her.

All Dash wants is to protect Abby, but when a horrifying blizzard sweeps over them, can Abby and Dash set aside the pain from their pasts and work together to catch a counterfeiter and protect his son—if they survive the storm?

My Review 🖤

I am almost 40 years old and I sadly have never seen real snow.  Living in Texas my whole life the most we ever get where I live, if we get anything at all, is snow flurries, sleet, and ice.  So, to read about a blizzard I really have to use my imagination to picture what a blizzard of this magnitude would look like.

For me, The Blizzard Bride had a slow start, but reading about the events of this insane blizzard, as well as the growing apprehension of Abby and Dash finding their man before it was too late had me binge reading into the early hours of the morning until the end.

All of the characters are wonderful, with such warmth and heart.  I have been watching old episodes of Little House on the Prairie, and the night I finished The Blizzard Bride I watched an episode that was almost identical to the blizzard in this book.  My family thought I was crazy for getting so excited about an old television show but I couldn't help it!  You can get more coincidental than that.

I had never heard of this historic blizzard before, but after reading The Blizzard Bride I plan on learning more.  This was a wonderful edition to the Daughters of the Mayflower series, and a joy to read.  Well written with plenty of intrigue, love, forgiveness, and characters that inspire, even in the cold of winter.

My Rating: ★★★
