Review: Great story!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I was a little worried that this book would be too similar to Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers (which I loved). Turns out it's not, and it's fabulous all on its own. The stories really are nothing alike and while God and faith are a part of the story, in An Unwilling Bride, it's more subtle than in Redeeming Love.I have to say that while I could empathize with Caitlin at being forced into the marriage, I can't really say I liked her much in the beginning. She was pretty much a spoiled brat. Her father was pretty hard to take, too. Why wouldn't he just tell her the truth? I also wondered at first if Dillon was going to be as easy-going as he seemed and put up with her attitude. I'm thrilled to say that everything worked out in the end. The characters are all well written, so you get a chance to know them, both the good and bad qualities. You get to know them and actually care about what happens.Of course, I picked this book because of the historical aspect, which is well-done, also. There is also a secondary love story. And meddling woman who really needs to be taken down a peg or two. Basically, this book is full of reasons for you to read it.I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review.
