The Mayflower Bride (Daughters of the Mayflower #1)
Can a religious separatist and an opportunistic spy make it in the New World?
A brand new series for fans of all things related to history, romance, adventure, faith, and family trees.
Mary Elizabeth Chapman boards the Speedwell in 1620 as a Separatist seeking a better life in the New World. William Lytton embarks on the Mayflower as a carpenter looking for opportunities to succeed—and he may have found one when a man from the Virginia Company offers William a hefty sum to keep a stealth eye on company interests in the new colony. The season is far too late for good sailing and storms rage, but reaching land is no better as food is scarce and the people are weak. Will Mary Elizabeth survive to face the spring planting and unknown natives? Will William be branded a traitor and expelled?

My Thoughts:
I am very excited about this series and the research behind each book. The Mayflower Bride is a well through researched book and made me very excited about this time period. I think if you love historical fiction, you will surely enjoy this book because it is well written. The trials, the beliefs, the sacrifices and leaving their former life behind is the reality that many of these people faced, which is why I loved the research behind this book. More importantly, i loved that they stood for their beliefs and sought religious freedom. They wanted a new life and they were going to find it. I loved the element of faith in this novel. This book has a steady pace and the characters are great. I am looking forward to reading more of the books in this series. Each book is written by a different author and I think this was a great one to start off the series. I give this book a 4/5 stars.
