review 1: A sparkling romance reminiscent of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Here Come the Brides, Virginia Smith and Lori Copeland’s A Bride for Noah combines a classic love story with an engaging historical setting. Unhappy with her fiancé and suspecting his motives for proposing were purely financial, Evie Lawrence risks everything to leave Chattanooga and travel across the country to a rough, remote logging settlement in Northwestern Washington. With the help of her eccentric employer, Miles, who becomes her business partner and financier, Evie plans to start a restaurant. Loggers need to eat, right? And she knows how to cook. But then she meets Noah, Miles’s handsome nephew. Second in command of the camp, Noah regards Evie and her crew as an interruption to the work hi... mores men need to accomplish, and he seems to oppose Evie’s efforts at every turn. That’s bad enough. What’s worse is the almost irresistible attraction Evie feels towards Noah. Throw in a local tribe of Duwamish Indians, whose Chief Si’ahl ends up being the namesake for the new settlement, as well as a host of secrets, misunderstandings, and miscalculations, and the mix turns out to be a delightful read, as tasty as any of the connoctions that Evie might have served in her restaurant.
review 2: Noah Hughes jokingly wrote to his uncle and aunt about the desperate need for females in the settlement. His uncle sees the opportunity and a chance to see an investment. Evie Lawrence partners with Noah's uncle (and three other ladies) in hopes of starting a restaurant in the new town on the West Coast. Little do they realize, the town is a lumber camp and they will need to build their lives up from the ground.Everyone begins their Seattle life as an escape from their past. Noah wanted to escape a lying woman while Evie runs from an unloving finance. Their new beginnings revolve around a newly created lumber camp. There is no town, just a camp with hundreds of men and an Indian village nearby. Noah and Evie constantly fight for their dreams. Between their battles, they find each others' dreams and hard work remarkable. As they fall in love, their ultimate test will be trust. A Bride for Noah begins and ends with trust. Putting their trust in God will give them the peace, comfort, and answers they seek in their earthly walk and human relationships.Time Period: 1851Location: Seattle, Washington, USAReviewed from a NetGalley copy.
