MY THOUGHTS.....
I loved this story! His Unforgettable Bride is part Cinderella, part Prince and the Pauper, with a slight nod to Pygmalion/My Fair Lady! Juliet Dash longs to put being a thief behind her, and amnesia has robbed Gray of his past. Is her new job as a servant the path to Juliet's redemption? Will Gray's attraction for the beautiful Juliet help him make new memories?
This is a fantastic conclusion to the Bride Ships: New Voyages series. There's electrifying chemistry between Juliet and Gray, a mystery concerning Gray's true identity, and a special bond between Juliet and her society employers, Liby and Tabitha. Could these sisters make her "a proper young lady who never uttered Holy Moses, dad-blamed, or snakes alive"? Am I the only one reminded of Professor Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle? Author Patti Stockdale even shares intriguing etiquette tips from the mid 1800s at the beginning of each chapter!

His Unforgettable Bride is a captivating story filled with history, romance, and multiple surprises. I recommend it to all who enjoy historical Christian romance, and I applaud this successful partnership between authors Patti Stockdale and Jody Hedlund!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Patti Stockdale writes sweet romance full of hope, history, and a good happily ever after. She can’t remember numbers, so she married a statistician. Thanks to him, she’s lived in all sorts of places and worked all sorts of jobs. While employed by the NFL, she once answered the phone with the wrong team’s name. She doesn’t work there anymore. For 11 years, she directed the programming at a nonprofit senior center and hosted an annual talent show, rocking a Dolly Parton wig, Annie Oakley boots, and a sweet—although snug—Batman costume. She no longer works there either. These days, Patti writes books and occasionally educational assessments and magazine articles.
Patti is the author of Three Little Things & His Treasured Bride.
