The Captured Bride by Michelle Griep


Mercy Lytton is a lady like none other. Raised amongst the Mohawks, she straddles two cultures, yet each are united in one cause. . .to defeat the French. Born with a rare gift of unusually keen eyesight, she is chosen as a scout to accompany a team of men on a dangerous mission. Yet it is not her life that is threatened. It is her heart.  Condemned as a traitor, Elias Dubois faces the gallows. At the last minute, he is offered his freedom if he consents to accompany a stolen shipment of French gold to a nearby fort—but he is the one they stole it from in the first place. It turns out that the real thief is the beguiling woman, Mercy Lytton, for she steals his every waking thought.   Can love survive divided loyalties in a backcountry wilderness?

This is the third book in the Bride series by Barbour Publishing.  This series centers around history, romance, adventure and faith and continues here in 1760 during the French and Indian war.

Anyone with a love of historical novels mixed with a tinge of romance will thoroughly enjoy this book as well as the other books in this series.  A very descriptive historical novel, Ms. Griep continues what the other authors have started with riveting adventure and a compelling storyline.  Hang on to your hat as once again we are taken into an exciting time in our country’s history and provided with a fantastic story to share with the author.

Is this a "guy's book"?  Any guy that appreciates history will enjoy the book.  The romance is a “part” of this book, but it isn’t the only part.
