I’ve been enjoying The Daughters of the Mayflower series, especially the historical aspect of the different time periods and areas. The Patriot Bride by Kimberley Woodhouse is a strong and engaging addition to the series.
More in the Daughters of the Mayflower series:

The Liberty Bride by MaryLu Tyndall – set 1814 Baltimore (December 2018)
The settings in Virginia and Boston during the Revolutionary War captured my interest. The characters are well-developed, and I especially loved Faith’s strength and independence. She just stepped up and did what needed to be done to take care of herself and those she loved. Brimming with historical detail, it’s apparent that Woodhouse has done much research about the era and what life was like in those days. I’m looking forward to the other books in the series.

I think it's safe to say that historical fiction authors are compulsive researchers. Researching is exciting and active and then... you face the page and have to squeeze it all down into tight little pieces and leave out 90% of what you've found. So much fun to dig in and so I LOVE such details in the historical fiction I read. Thanks Winnie! I'm so glad this series is doing so well!
