Review: The Pursuit of Elena Bradford by Ann H. Gabhart

 

The Pursuit of Elena Bradford by Ann H. Gabhart

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blurb:

At twenty-two, Elena Bradford has never met a man who made her consider marriage. But when her father dies and leaves the family deeply in debt, Elena becomes their only hope. Her mother uses their last funds to take Elena and her younger sister to Graham Springs, Kentucky, where people find healing by drinking the mineral spring water and healthy recreation through the many daily activities--including dances almost every evening.

As her mother schemes to find Elena a wealthy husband, Elena finds herself drawn to two men her mother would never consider. Charming artist Kirby Frazier spends his days drawing and painting the guests, but his real mission is to find a wealthy bride to finance his dream to go west. Melancholy Andrew Harper has come to Graham Springs in need of healing after a broken heart.

When a beautiful young lady shows up at the Springs with no chaperone and a story that seems suspicious, nearly everyone is charmed and intrigued. But when an unexpected tragedy occurs, Elena, Kirby, and Andrew will all be faced with decisions of life, love, and loyalty.

My Review: 

Ann H. Gabhart is among one of my favorite historical fiction authors. I was honored to have the opportunity to read her newest release, The Pursuit of Elena Bradford. I enjoyed travelling back in time to a luxurious resort in Kentucky called Graham Springs. I loved taking this adventurous story of faith, love, mystery, and suspense. The historical details the author used made me feel as though I was living among Elena and others. I thought it was great.

The Pursuit of Elena Bradford deserves five plus stars. I highly recommend it for lovers and fans of clean historical romance. As always, I look forward to reading future releases from Ann H. Gabhart.



I received a paperback copy of Ann H. Gabhart's The Pursuit of Elena Bradford from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
