Courageous Bride (Brides of Montclair, Book 14)
The various members of the Montrose family return in this continuation of the popular series (The Pattern, LJ 4/1/96). It is 1939 and Niki Gilbreaux, the adopted daughter of Cara and Kip Montrose, is in France, attempting to research her past. When war breaks out, she does everything she can for the war effort and also falls in love with Fraser Montrose, a distant relation of her adoptive family. Other members of the Montrose clan also find love during the hectic war years. Peart's books are usually lively and charming, and this one is no exception. Niki matures gracefully and believably, especially spiritually. Peart's growing audience will welcome this new addition.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
