Bridget of Cat's Head Point

Great Lakes Romances #6

by Donna Winters

When Bridget Richards leaves South Manitou Island to take up residence on Michigan’s mainland, she suffers no lack of ardent suitors. Only days after the loss of his wife, Nat Trevelyn, Bridget’s closest friend and the father of a two-year-old son, wants desperately to make her his bride. Kenton McCune, a handsome, wealthy lawyer in Traverse City, showers her with kindness the likes of which she’s never known. And Erik Olson, the son of her employer in Omena, shows her not only the incomparable beauty and romance of a Leelanau summer, but also a bravery and affection beyond expectation. Who will succeed in winning her heart? Or will tragedy swiftly intervene to steal away the promise of lasting happiness and true love?

[Lisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had not read this story about Bridget prior, as I had the stories about her sisters, Charlotte and Aurora. I had not known that Buffalo Bill‘s Wild West Show had come to Michigan in the late 1890‘s or about the Clovers Hotel that had been in operation from 1898 to 1950. Always interesting learning about the history of my State, even from a fictional point of view. I wasn't sure which of Bridget‘s three suitors I was rooting for her to end up with, but I enjoyed their various chases.
