Bride By Beguilement by Debbie Lynne Costello

Kirsten Macleod is in a bind. Her father’s last will and testament stipulates that she must either marry, lead the plantation into a first year profit, or forfeit it to her uncle. But marriage is proving no easy option. Every suitor seems more enamored with the land than with her. Until her handsome neighbor sweeps into her stable to the rescue… of her beloved horse.

Silas Westbrook’s last year at veterinary school ends abruptly when he is called home to care for his young orphaned sisters. Troubles compound when he finds an insurmountable lien on the only home they’ve ever known, and

unscrupulous banker is calling in the loan. The neighbor’s kind-hearted and beautiful stable girl, Krissy, provides the feminine influence the girls desperately need. If only he had a future to offer her. But to save his sisters from poverty, he should set his sights on Krissy’s wealthy relative Kirsten Macleod, the elusive new heiress. Surely this hard-working and unassuming young lady and the landowner could not be one and the same.

I really liked this book. It really kept me turning the pages. It has lots of twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. This story proves that we have to turn everything over to God because He really does have our best interests at heart. This is a story of forgiveness. If 

you are reader that  likes stories that has lots of tension within the pages, then I recommend “Bride By Beguilement”by Debbie Lynn Costello. This is a story that has the two main characters believing false assumptions about each other and other people. I really loved the ending. I hope this isn’t a spoiler alert but the wedding present from the groom to the bride was perfect.  

I received a complimentary copy from the author and these opinions are my own.
