This is book six in the Daughters of the Mayflower series, however I feel it is a stand alone book. This is the first in this series for me to read and I had no problem understanding what is going on. This book is full of history, war, spies, forgiveness and romance. There are many twist and turns in this novel. I loved the sparks and misunderstanding with the handsome Lieutenant Owen Masters and the beautiful Emeline Baratt.

The Liberty Bride by MaryLu Tyndall (Daughters of the Mayflower - Book 6) is Historical Christian Fiction. Specifically American and British history at the time of the War of 1812. Tyndall’s book is full of action with never a dull moment spying, escapes, medical emergencies, battles on land and sea. The characters are fearless and loyal to their respective countries but most are compassionate to others. Biblical wisdom, values, and growth are woven into the story and lives of the characters. Throughout the book characters are realistic and behave according to their beliefs. We are given a glimpse of how history may have happened and the effects of the war. I have read every book to date in this series and highly recommend each book for the Christian values, history and excellent stories. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. My thanks to the author, publisher and netgalley for making this book available for me to read, enjoy and review.

What do you do when you love someone, but they seem to be against everything you stand for? War is often won by a few revealed plans of the enemy. Emeline finds herself in a most unique position. Having limited doctor skills can come in handy while out on the open waters. And she wants to help anyone that’s injured, no matter what side they fight for. When one of the British soldiers keeps showing up to help at the exactly right time, Emeline can’t help but start caring about him. Owen is a man after all, and therefore not immune to her beauty. When the time comes will she choose love of country or love of one man? I loved escaping to the middle of nowhere in the ocean. Imagining feeling so small and insignificant, and yet brave enough to help her country in any way she can. Men in uniform are so dashing, and I could picture them out on the deck in the open seas. I can’t imagine the terror of battles happing in the middle of an ocean, and loved how brave Emeline learned to be. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Historical Romance with just the right amount of suspense.
