Yankee Wife

By Linda Lael Miller

Book Overview

New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller's classic follows a Civil War nurse as she embarks on a marriage with a heard-headed man she doesn't know.

Lydia McQuire's courage had never wavered during the bloodiest days of the Civil War. A year later, the pretty former Union Army nurse is alone, three thousand miles from home, gamely scraping out an honest living. But now, as she said yes to marrying a stranger, her knees gave way with fear.

Mr. Devon Quade had seemed polite and handsome when she answered his ad for a wife. Only after Lydia set sail for his family's settlement in Washington did she learn the truth: her bridegroom wasn't the sweet Devon Quade, but his older brother Brigham, a widower with shoulders a yard wide, hands as strong as steel, and an arrogant belief that he was lord and master of his lumber empire, the town, and the woman he married.

Lydia's dislike of him is both ardent and instantaneous...yet she also wants him to kiss her until he takes her breath away. And when Brigham wraps her in his strong embrace, he awakens in her a white-hot passion, and a firm resolve: before she shares his bed, tough, hard-headed Brigham Quade has to surrender himself, heart and soul, to love.

LOTS OF LAUGHS!!

I've just re-read Yankee Wife. The two main characters Lydia & Brigham are a lot of fun to watch as they stomp all over each other's personal space. I'm going to see if Taming Charlotte is as entertaining.

YANKEE WIFE

I just finished this book and wished it was another 300 pages long. The different plots and twist were great. I'm from the area it was set in so I really enjoyed the location! Brigham & Lydia need a sequel showing the changes continuing in their town, their family, their friends. I have just ordered Taming Charlotte to appease my appetite for further reading of this family, and because Linda Lael Miller is also a favorite author of mine.

Excellent!

"Yankee Wife" is the first book in the "Quade" series followed by "Taming Charlotte" and "Princess Annie", I think they are wonderful.
