Love Everlasting by Tracie Peterson - a book review

Abrianna Cunningham, a young girl raised in a school for young girls to prepare them for marriage, has suddenly found out that she is an heiress.  She also has two men sparring for her affections.  Her neighbor and childhood friend, Wade, is a down to earth, hardworking man of integrity. Priam Welby is a smooth talking, money hungry businessman who uses his business contacts to encourage Abrianna to court him by promising to help her start a facility for the homeless.

Abrianna is a spunky character who  “…has always been given to speaking first and rushing in to take charge of a matter.”  She is a delightful character and brings a sauciness to the story.

This is from the back cover:

“Growing up in a Seattle bridal finishing school never prepared Abrianna Cunningham to become one of the brides, but now Wade Ackerman, who has always been the reliable boy next door, is indicating he wants to be more than friends. And even the people closest to Abrianna believe Wade is the man she should marry. So why is she having such a hard time choosing between Wade Ackerman and Priam Welby?

Watching Welby's relentless pursuit of Abrianna is making Wade's blood boil. Welby can offer her wealth and security, but what about character and integrity? Surely Abrianna can see past Welby's smooth tongue and fine clothes. Can't she?

Caught between the devil and the boy next door, either choice she makes will change Abrianna's life forever.”

I really liked this book.  It was interesting and historically accurate.  The dialog moved along at a pace that kept my interest.  This is the third book in the Brides of Seattle series but is a very stand-alone book.  While it would be helpful to read the first two in the series, it isn’t necessary.
