Free ebooks: A Tailor-Made Bride and Making Waves

   I have a couple of new freebies to tell you about today. These are both classified as historical romance/Christian Fiction. And they both have beautiful covers that make you want to pick the book up!

   The first book is 'A Tailor-Made Bride' by Karen Witemeyer. This story is set in Texas in the early 1880s. Hannah Richards comes to the small town of Coventry to set up a dress shop. In town, she comes across the arrogant and gruff livery man, Jericho Tucker, who wants nothing to do with her. I haven't read this book but, seeing that this is classified as romance, I'm sure we all know what to expect. But it's the journey getting there that makes this one worth reading. I gets very high reviews from the readers at Goodreads, where it get 3.95 stars. You can read those reviews here. Here is the synopsis from Barnes and Noble.

Jericho "J.T." Tucker wants nothing to do with Coventry, Texas's new dressmaker. He's all too familiar with her kind—shallow women

more devoted to fashion than true beauty. Yet, except for her well-tailored clothing, this seamstress is not at all what he expected.

Hannah Richards is confounded by the man who runs the livery. The unsmiling fellow riles her with his arrogant assumptions and gruff

manner while at the same time stirring her heart with unexpected acts of kindness. Which side of Jericho Tucker reflects the real man?

When Hannah decides to help Jericho's sister catch a beau—leading to uproarious consequences for the whole town—will Jericho and Hannah find a way to bridge the gap between them?
