Waking up in a church in the village of Christendom, Lady Eleanor finds herself surrounded by the women of Kilfairlie. On the run from her late husband's family, Eleanor wants nothing more than to flee the church and continue her journey to get as far away from her brother- in-law as she can but instead finds herself agreeing to marry Alexander, the Laird of Kinfairlie, at his sisters' request. Thinking only that save herself from danger, Eleanor never expected her husband would ever treat her with kindness or awaken the kind of passion he has within her.

Alexander is captivated with Eleanor from the moment he sees her in his hall on Christmas Eve. When circumstances lead him to offer marriage to her on Christmas Day, he's happier with the turn of events than he had ever thought to be. Even when a neighbor arrives at the nuptials with ill news of Alexander's new wife, he defends her and makes an enemy of a man who was once an ally. What Alexander doesn't know is that his wife is the key to a fortune that could save his entire clan. With her enemies out to capture her and ruin her newfound happiness, will Eleanor dare to have faith in her new husband and the love they've created?

Not having read any of Claire Delacoix's previous books in her Bride series, I wasn't sure what to expect since I was starting with the last book in the trilogy. I was instantly mesmerized with THE SNOW WHITE BRIDE and couldn't put it down. Having read it once, I had to go back and read my favorite parts over again. At times funny and at others poignant, this is a book that'll have you falling in love and believing there is that one special person out there for you. Though a great stand alone, I can't wait to read the other books in this series, THE BEAUTY BRIDE and THE ROSE RED BRIDE, so I can learn all about the Kinfairlie's. A great romance I would absolutely recommend you read.

Book Summary

Lady Eleanor knows better than to dream of romance and love. Married twice to secure her father's alliances, she has learned that she is desirable only for her fortune. When the Laird of Kinfairlie's sisters ask her to wed their brother, Alexander, Eleanor agrees, expecting only to save herself from danger. But Alexander is like no man she's known before, a man more interested in courting her smile that her obedience, a man who values her counsel as much as her newly awakened passion... and a man unaware that Eleanore is the key to a fortune that could ensure the future of everything he holds dear. Now, ruthless enemies will stop at nothing to secure Eleanor's capture. WIll she dare to trust her new husband before it's too late for her, for Alexander, and for Kinfairlie?
