Miralee Ferrell has captured my undying loyalty with her suspenseful plot of intrigue, romance, and redemption in Summerside's Love Finds You in Bridal Veil, Oregon. From its beautiful cover art to its extremely surprising ending, this book drew me right into the Northwest logging town at the turn of the century and into the hearts of her unforgettable characters.

Miralee Ferrell has done it again. I enjoyed her first book in this series, Love Finds You in Last Chance, California, and looked forward to another of her stories. This one was every bit as good, if not better. I was pulled into the tale from the start, and the mystery, action, and strong, likable characters kept me turning pages. I rarely have time to read a book cover to cover, but I made an exception for this riveting read. I had to find out which of the men captured Margaret’s heart, who th...more
I've really come to treasure the "Love Finds You" series of books and this one does not disappoint. Each book in the series is independent of the others, so no worries about reading them in order.
Love Finds You in Bridal Veil Oregon is set in a logging town in the 1800’s, yet it reads like it’s happening today. Margaret is a character that I instantly loved and honestly would love to swish my skirts right in her front door and sit down to her coffee and cookies.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I absolutely LOVED this book. Miralee Ferrell did an EXCELLENT job! The characters blended perfectly with the plot. It's a historical book, which I am a sucker for, but it's got humor and love in it, too. Those 3 things immediately drew me in, transported me back in time, and held me there til the very last page. I truly felt a part of Margaret's(the heroine) circle of friends. I was wearing the dresses, going to the socials, feeling the love of all the towns people. It was an ama...more
I found this to be a very fast-paced book that I just couldn’t put down. There were elements of suspense that kept me on pins and needles wanting to know what would happen next. Historicals are one of my favorites and I have come to enjoy the Love Finds You books as well. There was also the romance aspect thrown in, which continues to be one of my favorites. The characters were very real and believable. My favorite character was Sammie, the orphan who Margaret brought into her home to care for....more

This was a good story and fairly well-paced. The writing was mature and there was some mystery to the plot. I enjoyed the characters and the tension, though the story was far from edgy. It did have a good message about real love versus the attraction of youth. I felt like the story was a bit too long, though, but it was still a great read. I loved that Margaret had to choose the right man. Nice conflict there because I honestly didn't know which way she was going to go myself. The part of the bo...more
This one was slightly better than Love Finds You in Last Chance, California by the same author, but it still was not all that great. This installment of the Love Finds You series introduced a new twist for me: two men vying for the same woman, much like the old Sunfire young adult romances I read when I was younger. Reading about the area was interesting, but for some reason, I just could not connect with the heroine. That made the book drag for me, and ultimately will exclude it from my budding...more
again I absolutely love the way Miralee writes her stories, she draws you in right from the beginning and keeps you there till you finish the book in one day, as I did with this book, and with this one it really touched my heart because of the message she wove through the story of how no matter what looks impossible, God will help you through it, and it was just the right book to read at the right time in my life to be reminded of that. God has definitely given Miralee a wonderful and beautiful...more
Love Finds You in Bridal Veil, Oregon by Miralee Ferrell is a thoroughly enjoyable addition to the Love Finds You series.

However, the secrets she discovers her father had been holding until his death will shake both relationships.

This is my first book written by Miralee Ferrell and it most definitely won't be my last. I loved the unique setting in the logging town of Bridal Veil, Oregon. The characters were interesting and deep with real feelings and struggles. The romance was intriguing and the story held lots of plot twists that will leave you guessing till the end. Throw in a town murder, some bad guys, and a woman's heart town between two men and you've got a great read. I was impressed with Ms. Ferrell's writing. He...more
I really enjoyed this story. Miralee conveyed the beauty of the area and her characters were well-drawn. I cared about what happened to Margaret Garvey and especially the two children, Joel and Sammie. Throw in a murder mystery and the story kept me turning the pages to see what happened. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a historical romance with an inspirational message.
An AWESOME story! I thoroughly enjoyed this book from Miralee Farrell. A very well written story that kept me guessing throughout. There are two suitors fighting for Margaret's heart and it's hard to guess which one she'll chose for quite a bit of the book. The changing POVs telling the story was a very neat way to tell the story and set it apart from other books. I enjoyed the sub-plot with Samantha and her brother and the evil folks after them. The ending was perfect! I've read all the Love Fi...more
From the romance, to love between siblings, to parental love, to God’s love, Miralee gives us a love story with surprises that will keep you reading to the end.
This book was good. I wasn't sure how it would end until it got closer to the end so I liked that. I am reading another one by her and like it so far
While I have enjoyed most of the books in this series, this one was kind of boring to me. It had a similar story to the last one I read. While there was a little more conflict in this one, it was all resolved too easily in my opinion. (this is another one from my Mom).
I could not put this book down 24hr. is all it took to read. It was GREAT.
Mystery and romance all in one. Great read
Really liked this book.The end was kinda strange.
Writing is well constructed, the language choices stellar. I was slightly disappointed with the ending, I felt that it had a "magic" ending. Perhaps Ms. Ferrell needed more space to tell the rest of her story.
What an amazing book!!! I love the fact that the book is based on religious romance, which are my ultimate favorite books. The twists and turns that the book takes, leads the reader to keep reading and very hard to put the book down. The end was an amazing one, and one that I did not expect to happen. Thanks Miralee for another amazing book!!!!
Pretty predictably and tied up a little too clean at the end.
I love this series. 2nd book I've read. They are Christian fiction and interesting easy reads. I've really enjoyed the Oregon based location. Anxious to read more.
I loved the message in this story a great Christian romance set in early 20th century Oregon and the fact that Margaret was faced with the decission of which man to Marry she is faced with many difficulties throughout the book but by the Grace of God she will move on with her life...
I enjoyed the story, it kept me guessing until near the end. There were too many characters and subplots making the story hard to follow. I thought was rushed and a little too neatly tied up. All in all it was an enjoyable, easy read.
This book is definitely, probably and most likely my favorite of the love finds you series. It kept me glued to reading it and I could never figure out the ending. It was amazing and definitely a must read.
