Critical Praise

“Not your usual setting, not your usual historical romance --- THE PELICAN BRIDE breaks new ground in the historical genre. Choosing to write a story set in the French colony that became Mobile, Alabama, draws the reader into a new and exciting period. I fell in love with Tristan Lanier just as Geneviève Gaillain did. Who can resist a kind but fearless heroine and a hero who refuses to be molded to fit what others think is right --- when he knows what is right and will do it? A winning beginning to a new historical series.”

—Lyn Cote, author of The Wilderness Brides series

“Fresh as a gulf breeze, THE PELICAN BRIDE is the perfect pairing of history and romance. Finely tuned characters and a setting second to none make this a remarkable, memorable story. Beth White’s foray into colonial Louisiana is historical romance of the highest quality.”

—Laura Frantz, author of LOVE'S RECKONING and LOVE'S AWAKENING
