The Captured Bride by Michelle Griep
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well, another installment in the Daughters of the Mayflower series and another awesome read! If you love historical fiction, christian fiction, adventure, and a little romance this is a must read for you!
The Captured Bride captivated me from the start with a fascinating historical time period and an excellent character in Mercy Lytton.
The story begins we meet Mercy and her partner Matthew just coming back to camp from a mission. Suddenly they thrust into a new, next-to-impossible mission to transport a captured traitor, Elias Dubois and his gold they have recovered across dangerous territory to a protected Fort.
Mercy is a scout for the British and knows everything about the land being born of a captured white mother and her Indian father. She has been gifted with exceptional eyesight she can see farther than anyone. She is also quite capable to take care of herself and knows the ways of the Indians.
Elias Dubois has been captured and labeled a traitor and needs to stand trial as such, which is why they must transport him to the nearest military Fort.
As they set off with a premise of traveling as a family the adventure begins.
I loved this story, I loved how the book develops the romance between Mercy and Elias, how Mercy witnesses Elias' faith and begins to search within herself, how she reconciles with her past.
The writing is gorgeous, you can visualize everything, feel everything and this adventure keeps you on the edge of your seat with some twists and turns. Amazing read!
