Description

Her heart longs for peace, but peace won't keep them safe.

Brielle Durand is still haunted by the massacre that killed her mother a dozen years before. Vowing to never let it happen again, she's risen to be the key defender for her people's peace-loving French settlement living in hidden caves in the Canadian Rockies. When a foreigner wanders too near to their secret home, she has no choice but to disarm and capture him. But now, what to do with this man who insists he can be trusted?

Hoping to escape past regrets, Evan MacManus ventured into the unknown, assigned to discover if the northern mountains contain an explosive mineral that might help America win the War of 1812. Despite being taken prisoner, Evan is determined to complete his mission. But when that assignment becomes at odds with his growing appreciation of the villagers and Brielle, does he follow through on his promise to his government or take a risk on where his heart is leading him? Either choice will cause harm to someone.

Brielle and Evan must reconcile the warring in their hearts to have any hope of finding peace for their peoples.

    I loved this book! Great lesson in trusting God to take care of circumstances that are out of your control and remembering to pray continuously. I loved the Laurent community and am eager to learn more about the people of it in the subsequent books in the series upon their release. I was fascinated by these mountain people and especially by the possibility of their cave-dwellings. The unique setting and care between the members of this community were compelling and made for an interesting story that is definitely worth picking up!

    This book is a new series by Misty Beller and I know I’m going to love the books to come. I always love how she starts her books jumping right into the story. Every time I start her books I am hooked from the very start! I love this book is about a strong woman in charge of taking care of her people. Evan is out scouting and comes to close to their home and Brielle has to shoot him and take him captive to find out if he’s a threat to her people. This book has a sweet romance, adventure and is full of Gods love.

  • Amazing story

    What a wonderful twist on life in the Canadian frontier. Evan is on a mission for the American government when he’s shot by an arrow. He finds his captor is a woman, as beautiful as she is fierce. He’s held captive in Laurent, a community of isolated people who’ve built homes inside a mountain, and lived there peacefully for the past hundred years. Soon Evan becomes torn over his duty to his country, and his love for Brielle and her community. Is there a way to be faithful to both? This book explores the concept of letting go of our own desires and pressing into our trust in God. Excellent book, I recommend it. I received a copy of this book courtesy of Bethany House a Division of Baker Publishing Group through NetGalley. This is my honest review.

  • Great beginning to a new series!

    Enter the area around the hidden village of Laurent at your own risk! For Evan MacManus, there should have been a sign warning him. However, since there was not, we get to know a whole new set of characters in this first book in the Brides of Laurent series. Injured, but well cared for, he remains a prisoner. Will things ever change, allowing him to continue with his commission? Brielle Durand is the leader of the guards and hunters for the village of Laurent. It is 1814, and I loved how the author took a young lady and gave her the skills and fortitude to head up this most important job of safety and survival. Trust, however, was not something easily given, especially to strangers. An ARC of this first book was received through Baker Publishing Group, Bethany House Publishers and NetGalley. These impressions and comments are my own and were in no way solicited.
