Summary: WOW!! What a great story!
Review: Granted this review won't be as "great" as the previous but simply put I love this book!! It's been some time since I first read this book so I'm going to try to give it the credit that it deserves. I was very young at the time when I read this book (I was around 12 years old) but I have to say that if I hadn't read Valiant Bride I wouldn't have read the other books in the series! As the previous person mentioned the book is very realistic, but that's what makes a wonderful tale! You feel what Noramary felt! A great book!! I have to admit I did cry at the some parts, but you just had too! I'm not a person how gets real emotional over the books I read, but this was definately worth it and I would read it again!

Summary: One of the worst Books I've ever read
Review: I have yet to read the rest of the books in this series and am hoping that when I do they will be better than this one. Normary had no backbone whatsoever- first she marries someone she doesn't love to make her aunt happy, when she is already in love with someone else. It is said she does it out of duty, but what about her promise to the one she loved (Robert) that she would marry him? Didn't she have a duty to fufill that promise? After marrying a man she hardly knows, and falling in love, he gets mad at her for no reason and treats her horribly because of unfounded accusations. He doesn't even give her a chance. I think at the very end when they reconcile was rushed and unrealistic. If he wouldn't believe her before, why would he suddenly believe her then? I disliked both characters immensly, as one was a wimp and the other a hothead. Not a good combination. Hopefully the other books in this series will be better.

Summary: Is it different from books 2-15!
Review: I read the rest of the books (there are 15 in all) before I had completely read this one. I am very glad I did. If I hadn't I probably would have avoided Jane Peart's books and missed some interesting ones. This book is very different in tone from the rest. It is more "realistic." In other words it is not as overall happy and cheerful as some of the rest. Though as I write this I begin to realizes that most of her books have a mildly unhappy viewpoint. I do not recommend this book. The story line is stupid. Only an idiot would refuse to marry someone she loved (who was perfectly acceptable) to marry a stranger. No decent, loving relatives would ask it of her either. Also, when she said her vows they would be lies since she did not love him in the first place. It is stupid. Why should she suffer from something a cousin did? She should have told her aunt that she was already in love and she would probably (I hope) been allowed to marry and make herself and the man she loved happy. In addition I disliked the herol, the heroine's aunt, and to some extent the spineless Noramary. I like the man she loved! The writing style is decent and their are some nice descriptions. The plot is weak and she really stretches a few things.

Summary: Really Good
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't put it down so I read it very quickly. I thank supergirl661 for her list of Jane Peart's books of the Brides of Montclair. I have read four already and will read all of them. I'm buying them slowly.

Summary: Somewhat good
Review: I somewhat enjoyed this story. It was a bit unrealistic in some cases. And the woman, Noramary Marsh, seems to have to backbone in which to stand up for herself. She gives up the man she loves, Robert Stedd, to fill the spot of her older reckless step-sister,Winnie, who left Duncan Montrose for another man. She marries Duncan without a complaint to anyone because her stepmother wishes her to, and says she loves him. It is all just really unbelievable that she could get over her first true love so quickly. I would recommend reading this book at the library first before buying it.

Summary: This is a Godly,meaningful, and great book!
Review: This book is a great book. It re-lives the honor of people back in the 18th century. I know it would seem unfair to marry someone you don't love, but look at the plan God had for Noramary's life.She ended up happier in the end than she would have ever been if she were to stay with Robert. This also gives a great meaning for faith. Noramary trusted God with her decision and though she suffered along the way, she was happy and blessed with a wonderful life. I would recommend this book to anybody with a interest for romance books!I know you will enjoy it along with the rest of the series. I'm allready on book seven and I'm amazed at how different each character is and I love the surprising yet lovely plots. if you are someone who is thinking of reading this book please take my advice and do it.

Summary: A Tender, Touching Tale
Review: To fully appreciate this book, one must be willing to step into a culture of a different time. The colonial setting lends itself to a story which shows self-sacrifice and redemptive love. The story of Noramary will make you cry, laugh, and smile. It is a story of true love. This romantic tale deserves more than one reading.
