Underground Railroad Brides Collection - A Book Review

     Nine authors each penned one of the stories in this historical, romance collection. Some of the featured couples are freedom seekers, but many are among those aiding them. It is encouraging to see how God brings out love in the hardest of circumstances. I gave two of the stories 5 stars, three 4 stars, three 3 stars, and one 1 star. Eight of the stories had interesting plots, five of which were well written, and three of which seemed to have been written by less experienced but promising authors. I would have appreciated author's notes on some of the stories to know more about the research in order to ascertain the historical accuracy. For example, were slaves allowed to find additional work and to keep the money they earned, and were some slaves given permission to live in boarding houses for which they paid rent. Overall this book was a pleasant read. Thank you NetGalley and Barbour Publishing for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I received no monetary compensation and was not required to give a favorable review.
