Jordan St. James was desperate to escape London and the evil investor who expected her to repay her family’s debt with her body. She set off on a journey to work as an indentured servant in the New World, and upon seeing the wealthy planter who’d purchased her papers, Jordan’s heart beat faster. The intensity of his eyes burned into her soul, and his seemingly innocent touch left her shivering with desire. She vowed to do whatever it took to become, in every way, his…BAYOU BRIDE.
Bayou Bride Reviews

I couldn't deal with them not talking. He was angry at her because he was assuming he knew something and she wasn't telling the truth..so on and on and on we go of him being upset because he thinks she is having an affair, and she isn't, she is in love with him and blah, blah, blah. Instead of talking and saying what is going on, it's all secrets and guessing and being wrong.
I couldn't stand it and had to keep skipping through until they finally just told each other what was going on and why, and then there wasn't a story anymore as it was all solved and they were in love. -
Good story/plot etc..but these two pretty much played the "I hate you game" way too long.
For that I dropped a star, it was really getting on my nerves.
Suppose to be book 1, but can be read as a stand alone.
Book 2
Also can be read as a stand alone. -
I still enjoyed this book even though i have read it before. It's a love story that at times you wonder will they make it. Nick is told by a much beloved father that he has put a new clause in his will stating that Nick has to marry or he will lose his inheritance. When he learns his father is dying he desperately starts looking for a bride. Jordan a lovely English girl and her brother Philip have to flee their home and sell themselves into indentured servitude they end up in Mobile where Nick sees her and tells her he will buy their contracts if she will be his bride. There our story takes off and love grows, but jealousy and mistrust on Nicks part soon tears them apart. The story touch's on the slave trade and the horrible conditions that these people suffered. What would our story be if we did not have a truly hateful villian that you hope gets his just deserts. i really like Bobbi Smith novels and this was a keeper for me, so i recommend it to you and wish you happy reading. I know people will say they should have spoken to one another, but that would have taken the fun out of the story and made it a very short tale.

Powerful Characters
This story kept me interested all the way through. The characters were strong and all consuming. I shared there emotions. Nick was stubborn. Luther the devil. Not just the hero and heroine romance. But all of the character friendships and family relationships were strong! -
This book had one of the lamest endings.
So many misunderstandings and no communication at all between the leads.
One of my peeves in a book is the H/h being intimate with others after they meet which was the case here. H goes to a brothel. -
love it!!
I've read this twice and thoroughly enjoyed it! I love the characters both leading and supporting! can't wait for the next book -
Loved it
I love it so much, I have read before years ago and still the same awesome feeling when I read it.. -
This was a re-read for me. I read this book several years ago and rated it on Amazon but re-rated it because I felt it was 5 star and the rating on Amazon was only 3. Tapping those stars was always difficult.
This story takes place pre-civil war during the Antebellum time of the South. Dominic Kane receives an ultimatum from his father who has only few months to live that he must marry in 6 months or loose everything. Nick tries to find a local woman but fails. He is in Mobile with his friend Slater when they hear talk about a beautiful woman with the people who have offered themselves as indentured servants to pay for their cost to come to America. She calls herself Jordan Douglas and she is traveling with her brother, Phillip. Who pretends to be her lover to protect her from other men during their travels. Nick sees a way out he purchases Jorden's papers for 3 years and Phillip's for 3 years also thinking Phillip is her lover also. There are so many lies it is a mess that will take the rest of the book to find the truth. -
Run of the mill
This is a rather mundane story with way too many misunderstandings, lies, drama...etc.!
It's a written historical romance soap opera with the lusty bad guy and Macho male who's never going to fall on love and his faithful sidekick versus the drama queen virgin! Tired plot!
I wouldn't recommend it because I'm certain it's been read many times over with just a couple plot tweaks and new names! There is an overabundance of angst here! -
Loved this story
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I lost several hours of sleep trying to stay up to read! This was a great love story. Although you have a good idea WHAT is going to happen in the book, you don't know HOW and WHEN! Good suspense within the love story. My only complaint-way too many typos! The editor owes a much better job to the author. -
