Rating: 3 stars

The Patriot Bride by Kimberley Woodhouse is book four in The Daughter of the Mayflower is a series that follows one family and its descendants from the Mayflower, and to me it seems like after the first book the books don't really have to be read in order.   In the Patriot Bride Faith Jackson is a young wealthy widow who happens to be friends with George and Martha Washington and a strong Patriot. 
 Matthew Weber is a patriot as well, friends with both Benjamin Franklin and his son William; Matthew is spy.  He's pretending to be a loyalist in order to pass on information to the patriot cause. Faith volunteers to be the person who will pass on the information to and from Matthew.  Once they get to know each Matthew and Faith wonder if  their feelings as well as their lives will have to be given up  for the sake of the country. 
I've always enjoyed historical fiction especially fiction about the American Revolution.  This is second book about spies during the Revolution that  I have read the first being Ring of Secrets by Roseanna M. White the first book The Culper Ring trilogy.  History has proven that spies were indeed use during the American Revelation George Washington even asked to have a spy ring started.  
While The Patriot Bride wasn't my favorite book in the series, what now that is  book The Captured Bride by Michelle Griep  I do plan to continue the series and look forward to the next one book 5  The Cumberland Bride by Shannon McNear. Book  1 is The Mayflower Bride by Kimberly Woodhouse and book 2 The Pirate Bride by Kathleen Y'Barbo. As of right now this series is set to have 8 books.  With The Liberty Bride by Marylu Tyndall of Christian pirate novel frame, The Alamo Bride by Kathleen Y'Barbo and The Golden Bride by Kimberly Woodhouse to finish off the series. 
I received a copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
