A Heart So Tender by Debra Marvin was a wonderful story. Susannah and Arch were opposites and seemed to have differing views on almost everything. It was great watching their friendship develop and romance bloom. I didn't know anything about Sir William Johnson's Great Gathering, so I found that quite fascinating. There was a lot of trying to overcome things in this story – overcoming fears, overcoming prejudices, overcoming bad experiences – which was great to read about. All in all, another fantastic story from Debra Marvin.
These collections are so great. They're an awesome way to find new authors and when a beloved author is included as well, that's an added bonus. The Backcountry Brides Collection has a good mix of new-to-me authors and some of my favorites. I hadn't read many stories set during this time period, so I found this collection to be very interesting – something different to me for a change. I'm not as familiar with this time in history as I probably should be, so I felt like I learned a lot by reading this. If you're a fan of this time period, you're sure to love this collection!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.

The Backcountry Brides collection is a historical anthology written by eight different authors, with eight different settings. Living in America, in the eighteenth century, was tough and to survive the women had to be tough, too. This anthology is a good assortment of living in eighteenth-century America.
I have to admit some of the stories resonated with me, others did not. Of those that resonated I grew to love the characters and hated to see them go. I would love to read full prints of some of these authors. This book is a great way to get to know new-to-me authors.
I recommend this anthology to readers interested in eighteenth-century America.
