A bride at last by Melissa Jagears

A Bride at Last
A Bride at Last (Bethany House, July 2015)
Abandoned by his mail-order bride, Silas Jonesey has fought an uphill battle to recover from a pattern of poor choices. Now his prayers for reconciliation have finally come true and his estranged wife has contacted him with her whereabouts.
Kate Dawson was supposed to be a mail-order bride, but upon realizing she’d been deceived about her intended groom, she’s now settled into life as a schoolteacher. When the mother of a student passes away, Kate assumes she’ll take on care of nine-year-old Anthony–until two men suddenly show up in town, claiming to be the boy’s father.
Silas can see Anthony loves Kate, so he enlists her help in reaching out to the boy and attempting to prove his paternity to the court. When a common interest in Anthony leads to an interest in each other and Silas and Kate begin to think they can overcome their rocky start, neither is prepared for the secrets and past hurts that have yet to come to light. Can Silas, Kate, and Anthony’s wounded souls bind them together or will all that stands between them leave them lonely forever?
My opinion: This was an interesting read, I really enjoyed the characters as liked watching them as they grew and developed throughout the book. I appreciated the flaws and growth of these characters and seeing how they change and become a lot more likable. This book had enough going on to make it interesting and I read it fairly quickly.  At times I wanted to smack Silas because of how he acted towards Kate, but it all worked out in the end. I received a copy of this book for my honest opinion.
