5.0 out of 5 stars colorfully vivid nineteenth century Americana romance 2 Mar 2004

By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Mass Market Paperback

Under suspicion for embezzlement Abigail Pierce, accompanied by her sister Moriah, flee St. Louis to run their late father's store at Fort Lookout, Colorado. The commander of the army post, Captain Bryce McGregor tries, but fails to persuade the siblings to go home as they do not belong in the rugged unsafe Rocky Mountains even inside the fort. Bryce does convince the women to stay with him until the store can be renovated and made hospitable. His young daughter Pamela serves as a perfect chaperone so Abby and Moriah accept the kind offer.

Pamela adopts Abby as a mother figure and the former St. Louis resident cannot stop her heart from reaching out to the young child. Inadvertently Pamela plays matchmaker as Abby and Bryce fall in love. However, Abigail willingly sacrifices her happiness because she knows the scandal she fled would destroy the man she cherishes as a rising officer cannot afford a dishonored (even if she is innocent) spouse.

There are few if any authors that can provide such well drawn characters including secondary players with a colorfully vivid nineteenth century Americana panorama inside an exciting historical romance than Leigh greenwood can. His latest tale INDEPENDENT BRIDE matches up two honorable individuals in love and encouraged by her sister and his daughter and even to a degree his men, but those same principles stand in their way of happiness. Mr. Greenwood shows that principles are important even if it costs achievement of a personal goal all that within a fabulous post Civil War romance with a deep message.

3.0 out of 5 stars To many errors 13 Jun 2013

By Marilyn Jimenez - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I like reading Greenwood's stories since the reluctant bride. This story is about the colonel from fort lookout in Colorado falling in love with a st. Louis girl come west to escape suspicion on embezzling that she did not commit. Abby is stubborn with a capital S and very independent and finds it hard to trust in men because of her father's deflection and the man she thought she loved lies to her. Together the colonel and Abby try to fight an attraction and a building love while people are trying to kill Abby so that she can't feed the Indians as per the government beef contract.

I gave it a 3 star because there were too many misspelled words, sentences not making sense and using the wrong words such "mere" when it was meant to say "there" to say the least. Having to piece together what the author meant to say detracted from the story. Mr. Greenwood if you are reading this review your editor made a great injustice to this story.
