MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0At the death of Anthony’s mother, three people want custody of him. Kate Dawson is Anthony’s teacher and loves him as a son. Two men also want Anthony – Silas, who may actually be Anthony’s father and another man who also calls him son. As Kate and Silas work together to work out what will be best for Anthony, she finds that both the boy and the man have caused major complications to her life and her job as teacher.<\/p>\n “A Bride at Last” is an attention grabbing story about two very wounded people who have difficulty trusting each other. Their friendship and mutual attraction grows despite the multiple complications they encounter yet misunderstandings threaten to come between them. Each character was well defined and it was easy to relate to both Silas and Kate and their situation. Anthony’s reactions to his circumstances were extreme but understandable from a child’s point of view.<\/p>\n The plot moved along at a good pace with a few unexpected twists and turns and at least one nice surprise before its end. “A Bride at Last” is a story that emphasizes faith, family and trust. I very much enjoyed this book and think I need to go back and read the previous books from this series.<\/p>\n This book was provided for review by LitFuse Publicity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n Abandoned by his mail-order bride, Silas Jonesey has fought an uphill battle to recover from a pattern of poor choices. Now his prayers for reconciliation have finally come true and his estranged wife has contacted him with her whereabouts.<\/strong><\/p>\n Kate Dawson was supposed to be a mail-order bride, but upon realizing she\u2019d been deceived about her intended groom, she\u2019s now settled into life as a schoolteacher. When the mother of a student passes away, Kate assumes she\u2019ll take on care of nine-year-old Anthony\u2013until two men suddenly show up in town, claiming to be the boy\u2019s father.<\/p>\n Silas can see Anthony loves Kate, so he enlists her help in reaching out to the boy and attempting to prove his paternity to the court. When a common interest in Anthony leads to an interest in each other and Silas and Kate begin to think they can overcome their rocky start, neither is prepared for the secrets and past hurts that have yet to come to light. Can Silas, Kate, and Anthony\u2019s wounded souls bind them together or will all that stands between them leave them lonely forever?<\/p>\n Read an excerpt from “A Bride at Last” HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n Learn more and purchase a copy.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n Find out more about Melissa at http:\/\/melissajagears.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Can Silas and Kate overcome their rocky start\u00a0and\u00a0experience healing\u2014and possibly love?\u00a0Discover the answer in Melissa Jagears’ new book,\u00a0A Bride at Last<\/a><\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Neither Kate nor Silas is prepared for the secrets and past hurts that have yet to come to light as they attempt to prove nine-year-old Anthony’s paternity to the court.
