(Bridal Veil Island Book #3) by Tracie Peterson and Judith A. Miller
To start off I love both Peterson and Miller as authors alone so I was really pumped to see how they were as a duo. To Honor and Trust is the third book in the Bridal Veil Island series based in the early 1900's on a charming island where people spend their holiday.
The great thing about this is that it can easily be read as a stand-alone. To be perfectly honest I have not read the previous two books and that was a small concern for me while starting this book but there was no issues so I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to start reading (but it can't hurt to read the other two of course).
The story centers around Callie Deboyer who is a governess to the Bridgeport family who are very kind loving people who come to see Callie as a part of their family as well.
In the beginning of the book we find out that Callie's parents are missions in coastal Africa, who have written a letter to their daughter telling her of their dire need of more personnel. Callie wrestles with leaving her job of caring for the Bridgeport children and trying to figure out if going to Africa is something she wants to do and ultimately something God also wants her to do with her life. As the reader I felt the turmoil Callie went through and it made me think personally about times when I have gone through the same exact things and I liked this little element that Peterson and Miller added to this very likeable character.
Of course there is a little romance I mean come on it's called the Bridal Veil Island series. Bridal. Veil. Need I say more. Still, the romance was perfect. Not to much fluff that made you cringe and just enough where you didn't feel as the reader like you were wishing for more chemistry. It was clean, wholesome and it's something I think more girls should be looking for.
The man is catches Callie's eye is Wesley Townsend, the golf pro of one of children she cares for. Callie believes him to be a worker at the club when really he's a guest there! Will Callie ever find out his true identity and the past that comes with his name? I was literally on the edge of my seat trying to figure out how it would all end!
Plus there is another mystery happening on the side of this already packed story. A thief comes to Bridal Veil Island and starts to steal jewels and Callie becomes a suspect. Will her name be cleared and the true offender be caught or will she be framed for a crime she didn't commit?
I give this book a nice solid 5/5 stars because it had everything I could ask from a book. Romance, mystery, comedy, and a nice Christian element that always makes me smile.
Recommend this to be added to your library rather it be your nook, kindle, other e-book reader or any actual library you have! Buy it!
