The Blizzard Bride by Susanne Dietze (The Daughters of the Mayflower series, book 11)

The 11th book of the Daughter of the Mayflower series just released this month. The Blizzard Bride by Susanne Dietze will take readers back to the year of 1888 when the infamous Children's Blizzard happened on January 12th in the plain states.

From the Back Cover:
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 Thoughts:
I enjoyed learning about a piece of American history that I had not read about before. The only time I had heard about this blizzard was from my daughter when she read the "I Survived" book about this historic event. This book has it all...mystery, imminent danger, cataclysmic event, and of course a love story. This was my first time reading a book by Susanne Dietze, and I really enjoyed reading this novel. It caught my attention right from the first page, and I loved the added suspense of spying and sleuthing. This book was a fun addition to the Daughters of the Mayflower series. You can see all of the books from that series by clicking here and visiting their website. If you're looking for a fun read through history, I'd encourage you to take a look at this fun series.

My Rating: ★★★★★
