Ellis's (Ellie) older brother and father are off fighting in the Civil War. It's up to Ellie and her mother and grandfather to keep the family farm going. In their neighborhood in Texias the Mexicans are barging through to start a war with the Texians. They want to keep Texias as part of their country. With help from Clay, an unfamiliar injured man turned hero, Ellie's family has a chance.
I enjoyed the story, the author knew how to write a good book. It has a place on my favorites shelf.
Highly recommend to anyone who is interested in the Alamo, early Texas, or crime fighting.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing, with no obligation to review.

A Wonderful Series
The Alamo Bride is the seventh book in The Daughters of the Mayflower series, and the second penned by Kathleen Y'Barbo. It is the story of Ellis Valmont, great granddaughter of Maribel Cordoba from The Pirate Bride. Ellis is the adult daughter, the only girl with three living brothers, of Boyd and Sophia Valmont. She is learning the healing skills of the time from her mother, skills that possibly save her own life as well as the lives of others, including Claiborne "Clay" Gentry. Clay is on a secret mission for President Andrew Jackson, one that might have great influence on the Texas war for independence from Mexico. The circumstances that bring these two together may make their cooperation essential.
As always Y'Barbo's notes enlighten the readers as to the realities of the time period she is writing about. Being a self-described "history nerd" helps to breath life into her characters. This is a wonderful series and Y'Barbo's contributions to it are exceptional. I am grateful to have received a copy from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to write a positive review, and received no monetary compensation.
