The Alamo Bride
is the seventh book in The Daughters of the Mayflower
series, and the second penned by Kathleen Y'Barbo. It is the story of
Ellis Valmont, great granddaughter of Maribel Cordoba from The
Pirate Bride. Ellis is the adult
daughter, the only girl with three living brothers, of Boyd and
Sophia Valmont. She is learning the healing skills of the time from
her mother, skills that possibly save her own life as well as the
lives of others, including Claiborne “Clay” Gentry. Clay is on a
secret mission for President Andrew Jackson, one that might have
great influence on the Texas war for independence from Mexico. The
circumstances that bring these two together may make their
cooperation essential.
As
always Y'Barbo's notes enlighten the readers as to the realities of
the time period she is writing about. Being a self-described “history
nerd” helps to breath life into her characters. This is a wonderful
series and Y'Barbo's contributions to it are exceptional. I am
grateful to have received a copy from Barbour Publishing via
NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no
obligation to write a positive review, and received no monetary
compensation.
