I fell in love with this book at about 1/3 of the way through. At first it seemed slow and uninteresting. However, once I got into it and was able to look past some of my personal preferences and put myself back in that timeframe I was able to finish it in a day. The way that Leon and Penny instantly knew that they were meant to be and how he was so protective of her. With the twists that come along and are seen by Leon but Penny isn’t able to see until after the fact. I read it with an open mind and remembered that there was a time that the slavery and so on was allowed to happen. I am not saying it’s right but it’s the way it was at one point and how they were willing to do whatever needed to be done just to be together. Just kept me hooked when I needed to get out of my own head.
This is the first book I have read from this author and she now has a new fan. I’m starting to get addicted to historical romance due to books like this. I was hooked on this story right from the beginning. You can’t help but fall in love with these characters. It only took me a few hours to devour this book. I can’t wait to see what this amazing author will write next.
Penny is a slave to a family that treats her as their own. One day a man comes to the house and she is attracted to him. She feels like she has a connection to this stranger but she doesn’t know why. Penny is then sold to Falcon to pay off a family debt. She is shocked that the man she keeps thinking about is her master. They get to know one another and they find it’s more than just ownership between them. Will Penny find her true love or will she just be the help?
I’d strongly suggest those looking to read this book read the description, disclaimer, and reviews. Leave your new age thinking at the door for a while and enjoy the story for what it is. I really enjoyed this authors writing style. The story moved smoothly and was fun to read. Lots of sexy scenes! More than I anticipated, which is great! I truly enjoyed hearing about Penny’s story. My only suggestion would be that her and her Massa’s first time be a little more detailed. There were other random scenes in the book that gave more away than the long anticipated first time! I’m so happy I picked up with book and would highly recommend.
A Bride for Noah is such a sweet and wholesome love story! As stated in his fathers will, for Noah to keep/inherit his fathers land he must get married. Mary is trying to escape her home situation. She has been unloved, uncared for and underfed. Now, her father wants to get rid of her by marrying her off to a horrible man. She responds to Noah’s ad for a mail order bride and they set up a contract for one year. Although there is chemistry between the two of them, will it last through the contract? Will they stay together? Will this marriage of convenience work out for this sweet couple? I won’t spoil it, you’ll have to read it yourself. Trust me you will enjoy it! I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to read such a pure, sweet, and innocent romance story. Love it so much and can’t wait for the next one!

This wasn’t my favorite book. The writing wasn’t bad, and it could have been a decent story, it just wasn’t for me. To be completely honest I felt uncomfortable reading this one. Reading about slavery is hard enough but something about this one just rubbed me the wrong way. The author’s writing style isn’t bad, but the grammar (whether that’s how it was in the 1800s I’m not sure) kept throwing me off and I just couldn’t get a good grasp on this one. I really hope the next book I read from this author is better, because I really liked her writing style, just not this story. It just wasn’t the book for me.
Slavery, history and romance This took a bit for me to get into though it us written well and the story unfolds nicely. Lots of steam with the romance. There are many issues interwoven throughout the story such as interracial relationships, slavery and even sexual orientation. Once I found my groove I flew through the book. Definitely worth a read.

This book was steamy and also pushed boundaries but it was still good. Make sure you read the authors note at the beginning before you read it so you know what you’re getting into. Watching Penny and Falcons relationship grow was very interesting and pretty amazing. I’m glad at the end of pretty much everyone got what they deserved. Overall a very good book.
I felt dirty reading this book and not because it is a romance novel. Although this was a fairly historically accurate book, it felt like there were things that were glamorized that should never have been. I’m thankful it was a quick and easy read as I just couldn’t get into it. I’ll give it three starts because the character development was strong and you felt their emotions otherwise, I just couldn’t enjoy it.
Leon Falcon is a man of great stature and wealth. Usually, a man of his standing would court a woman and tried to make her his but from the moment he saw Penny he knew that he wanted her. It is 1864 South Carolina and Penny is a slave so she can’t say no to him or any white man for that matter. Leon decides he’s going to buy her from her previous master because as luck would have it, he owes him money and cannot pay it back. The only thing that he has that is worth anything is his beautiful slave named Penny. Leon Falcon chooses to collect on the debt owed to him and takes Penny as his own slave.
Leon and Penny find themselves attracted to one another. The attraction that first drew Penny and Leon together becomes so much more. It doesn’t take long for Penny and Leon to realize that there is an immense force between the two of them that is stronger than either of them. They both fall head over heels in love with each other. But what will become of their relationship? It’s 1864 South Carolina and a white man can’t marry a slave. Will they ever truly be able to be together?
I loved the character of Penny because she was so down to earth, honest, and pure of heart. There was something about her that everybody just liked. Leon Falcon came across as just another rich slave master at first who was used to getting his own way. However, once you start reading more into the book you realize that there is more to Leon Falcon then you would initially think. No matter what the world threw at them, or the times being what they were, Leon and Penny found a way to be together. The bond between them could not be broken.
Be warned that this book is not for the faint of heart. There’s many explicit sex scenes throughout the book including one scene where Leon takes Penny’s virginity in a crass and cruel manner. I enjoyed most of the book and the overall love story between Leon and Penny but found this scene to be disturbing and it really put me off. If Leon truly cared for Penny, he would not have done this to her. Especially not when he had a reputation for treating his slaves well. Overall, I enjoyed the historical aspect of the book and the love story that unfolded between Penny and Leon.

When I read the preface and looked at the cover of the book I knew that this would not be a category I am typically drawn to other than the romance part. Historical Fiction is one I tend to stay clear of because I love history and need the facts to be facts BUT I am very glad I took the chance and read this book. The author gave the book a great balance of both history and fiction. Penny was bought to keep only child Rose company while growing up. Penny was still a slave and did have responsibilities but she was Rose’s best friend first. When Mr. Conrad needs to repay the loan Mr. Falcon lent him there is no way he will have the full amount in time, so Mr. Conrad begs him that he can take anything he sees on his plantation that he wants. Never did Mr. Conrad think that the only way the loan would be repaid would leave his daughter hating him for the rest of her life. When Penny first lays eyes on Leon Falcon she was smitten. However, it would never be more than a slave/Master relationship due to the current treatment of slaves in the south in 1864. But Penny sure could fantasize. I love the way the author took the time to develop the story between Leon and Penny. It might have been the fiction part of the story but it was still a great mix of historical fiction. Most definitely worth the read!!
I normally don’t read historical fiction. This book is one of the better ones I have read. I like how the author had the couple defy all odds to be together. They definitely shouldn’t have been together, but they did everything they could. They really did love each other and it was such an amazing love.

I personally loved this book. I got drawn in from the beginning, that I had to keep reading until I was done. This book has history, forbidden love, steam, action, and romance. Falcon buys Penny to teach her how he wants things done. He ends up falling for her which is forbidden then. Will he risk it all for Penny? Penny is super sweet, strong, and kind. She is also educated and not afraid to stand up to Falcon. Let’s see if their love can handle all the obstacles.
Set in the slavery era, I’m not usually a big reader of historical romances but I found this to be a very intense gripping read. Filled with action, drama and romance, there is definitely enough content to have you hooked. The beautifully descriptive writing style from this author makes you feel the story along with the characters.
This is a well written book about the dynamic between a slave owner and a slave. The language and dialectics is what I would assume they spoke then. Disclaimer there is a lot of graphic sexual encounters in this so reader beware.
This novel is 165 pages in length and follows Leon and Penny. It is the 1800’s in South Carolina and Leon likes Penny. The only problem is, Penny is a slave. So, he devises a plan on how to obtain her. He plans to buy her, teach her, and then take her for himself. But Penny is the one that ends up teaching him. A terrific historical romance novel!
Wow what a wonderful read! Leon and Penny are great lead characters and the author has you pulling for their love to conquer all right from the very first time they meet. You are so drawn into the story by her vivid imagery that you quickly recognise those characters you will hate just as much as you will love Penny and Leon. Their steamy romance flourishes against all odds and they restore your faith in love being strong enough to beat all the odds.

Noah expected to inherit the family land when his father died. Until he discovered that in order to do that, he has to get married and stay married for a while. With very few available women, it proves to be a struggle. Mary’s father is tired of taking care of her and wants her married. She has the choice of a not so nice man from the past, or a marriage of convenience with Noah. She chose Noah. When the two first get together, they notice all the differences between them and their backgrounds. Mary is sweet and innocent, and wants nothing more than to secure herself a future better than her past. Noah is a man’s man. He is used to living alone and is surprised in many ways by his new wife.
This was such a wholesome story of self discovery and learning to let someone in. The interactions between Noah and Mary are so sweet. I loved getting to know them and seeing them grow and develop in the story. I am looking forward to reading more stories in this collection.

This was a really hard read for me on many levels, so this review will be short.
The book started off okay, but as things progressed I became uncomfortable reading this kind of romance and struggled to finish reading it. FOR MATURE READERS 18+.

*** 3 out of 5 stars If losing his father suddenly wasn’t enough, Noah is now under a deadline according to the conditions of the will to find himself a bride. Not too far away, Mary is barely surviving each day and sees the offer of this “convenience marriage” to be her only way out of poverty. Will Noah and Mary find love in their contractual time together or walk away at the end of the year?
As the author herself promises, this is nothing but a feel-good short historical fiction story.
The overall story and theme were just as promised, with the character Noah and the depth of Mary’s life history being the main highlights. With that said, I didn’t feel I could rate the tale any higher due to some hiccups. For example, because there was so much depth to Mary, there seemed to be extraneous details that could have been further developed. Additionally, while time obviously seems to pass, each section broke up the story’s flow without a clear idea of just how much time it had been. Overall, I believe this short story would’ve been better drawn out but, understandably, that would have been a hard balance with the feel-good promise.
A Bride for Noah was an enjoyable and quick read. I would certainly recommend this to anyone who enjoys historical fiction and needs a quick read between longer novels.

This book is only for those over 18 due to the adult nature of the content within.
It is 1864 in South Carolina and slavery is still going strong and any rich person has at least one, whether they treat them well is another story, but Penny is one of the lucky ones and has been brought up more like a family member than a slave, she is allowed to live in the house and be a companion to the families daughter, but one day that all changes. Leon Falcon is the richest man with the largest plantation in South Carolina and possibly in all the nearby states and he treats his slaves well, one day he is visiting a family who is down on their luck, however, when he sees their slave Penny, all he wants is her and nothing else will do, so he makes an offer to her owners and awaits their answer.
As soon as Penny sees Leon Falcon she admires him and thinks that he is the most handsome man she has seen and despite being black and a slave she realises that she wants more from him than he can ever offer her. When Leon returns to Penny’s home, her owners agree to sell her to him and so she packs up her things and leaves with him for Falcon Grove where his plan is to teach her and then take her like every slave master does, however, when he realises that Penny isn’t like the normal slaves he encounters he experiences a change of opinion. Leon realises that he wants to woo her and court her like an equal, however, for a master and a slave, this can never be.
As time goes on and Leon begins to fall harder for Penny than he intended and soon she admits that she feels the same way, but what does their future hold and will they be able to overcome the obstacles their skin colour and the societal values which surround them, or will it all fall apart before it can even really begin? This is a historical romance where love runs strong, but the path is not free of the dangers which threaten everything they are trying to build in this steamy and intoxicating story of forbidden love.
I love reading new Authors and this Author did not disappoint. I love books set in the time this one was. I loved every page and the writing style was amazing. I am excited to read more from this Author in the future. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends.
This is book 1 in the series The Brides of Broken Arrow. A great wholesome quick read of two people Noah and Mary entering a marriage of convenience. A beautifully written sweet historical romance. I would defiantly recommend this book.

This book has historical romance. It is wholesome. It is a very clean romance kind of book.
Noah Adams felt the vast tract of property given to him on his twenty-first birthday was legally his until his father died. Suddenly, he learns that the ‘gift’ comes with a condition. Noah must marry within four weeks to gain legal ownership of the property, or he will lose everything. He has limited options because there are no local ladies available. Mary Stanton is a poor woman who is barely living. Her father offers her to a lecherous guy whom she narrowly avoided in the past after determining he can no longer sustain his spinster daughter. When the opportunity to enter a proxy marriage is presented to Mary, she rushes at it. Is it possible for these two strangers to transform a convenient marriage into a love match? Or will Mary terminate the contract at the conclusion of the term?
I loved this story. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is my first book from this author and I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming historical romance novella and was hooked from start to finish. Noah Adams discovers that the large piece of land gifted to him by his father on his twenty first birthday, will only legally be his if he marries within four weeks. Noah has limited choices as there are no local women available. Meanwhile, impoverished spinster Mary Stanton is about to be promised to a lecherous man, whom she has escaped from in the past. Mary jumps at the chance to enter into a proxy marriage with Noah. The plan is for Mary to walk away at the end of the contract, but as the couple spend more time together there is hope that their marriage of convenience may turn into a love match. This is a sweet, clean romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger. It’s an enjoyable and engaging fairly quick read which is wonderfully written, and has likeable and relatable characters in Mary and Noah. The setting is brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative and I felt immersed in the storyline. I look forward to future books in this series.

Noah was angry when he found out in order to receive his inheritance, he had to marry….and quickly!
Mary is upset that she can’t keep up her vegetable garden because her father keeps giving all the carrots to the pigs. Doesn’t he care for her more than that?
So, what are two desperate people to do who don’t even know each other? Get married, of course!
Will Mary stay past the contracted marriage date or will Noah ask her to leave before the year is even up?
This is a sweet story of a contractual marriage and how it all worked out. I didn’t realize this was a novella until it was over and I found myself wanting to know even more about the characters. I did enjoy this short read and would highly recommend it!

This was you run of the mill historical romance! I would have liked for the grammar to be more realistic but you really got a feel for the time period. The characters struggles were clear and it was easy to let them into your heart an want what’s best for them.

There are books where the story line is something you have already read about, but how it is presented makes a lot of difference. This is a historic romance, about the marriage of convenience, something which is often witnessed in historic dramas, but what makes this book interesting are the characters and the way the book is presented.
Noah is given a vast promise of land, but with one condition, he has to marry with in few weeks, otherwise he has to forfeit all his fortune. Mary is in neck deep trouble with her father who cares only about his pigs and is willing to give away his daughter to the first man knocking on the door. So, when a church suggests their alliance, both Mary and Noah readily agree to a marriage of convenience. Atleast Mary is with a mindset that she will annul the marriage once the contract period is over. But when it comes to the heart, it is a completely different matter altogether. Will these two end their marriage and go their own ways , or their hearts have something to say? That is the plot of the story.
If you are looking for a nice smooth romance read in the season of love, this is a book to read. A refreshing romance with an endearing lead pair. I enjoyed it.

This book is written really well and you can tell the author has done research about the time period. She’s made something positive out of this dark depressing time. Penny’s a slave whom works for a family whom adore her however they fallen upon hard times. So sell her to pay their debt now she’s with another and this is different to what she is use to. Leon and Penny startled me at frist but as the boom progressed or made more sense. Warning :using inappropriate lanauge which some may find offensive.
