Marrying Christopher by Michele Paige Holmes

5.0

4.5 stars. I enjoyed this historical romance that focuses on Christopher, the brother we met in the two earlier stories (although I don’t think it’s necessary to have read those first). Christopher wants to begin a new adventure in America, so he takes passage on one of the first steamships where he meets the interesting captain and a handful of passengers, including, of course, our lovely heroine who has also had a very difficult life. I loved all the characters, especially Christopher and Marsali, and I enjoyed watching their relationship develop. I loved both of their personalities and the way they overcame the hardships in their lives and didn’t let those experiences make them bitter.
I wondered early on what direction the author would take the story once the ship arrived in America, and it turned out to be not at all what I was expecting! There was tragedy and betrayal and miscommunication and a character or two I wanted to yell at. But the ending was very sweet and satisfying - a great conclusion to this series!
I received a free e-book copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
