Hi there. Welcome to my page. My name is Bess McBride and I'm a romance writer. I've been writing romances since 2006 and have four books in print and three more under contract and in edits. I write contemporary romance, light paranormal/fantasy, vintage romance, time travel and romantic suspense...so far! Please feel free to visit me at my website at www.bessmcbride.com.
I picked up Bess McBride’s Love of My Heart thinking I would read a chapter or two before bed. By the time I put the book down, it was nearly midnight and I had finished over half of the book.... Many books I’ve read with paranormal elements are downright scary. Bess McBride has managed to create an intriguing mystery without villains, dark family secrets or tragic deaths... Love of My Heart is a wonderful, heart-warming story that had me rooting for the two couples all the way. The story threads are tied up in a most satisfying way. I eagerly look forward to reading more of Bess McBride.

Love of My Heart is a beautiful, romantic story with a mild supernatural bent... The best part of this story is that true love endures. The author gives the reader a HEA that ties up all the loose ends, even the supernatural. Interestingly enough, she wrote the course of Louise's and William's romance in a way that could mirror real life; decisions we make along the way affect our future in surprising ways... I enjoyed reading about how a man and a woman from two diverse families, influenced and manipulated by the ghosts of the past, find love in the future. Ms. McBride has an incredible turn of mind.
Abbie is on her way to Anchorage, Alaska to meet George whom she has been corresponding by telephone for the past three months. George has repeatedly asked her to come up to Alaska for a visit so they can meet in person. Call her crazy, but Abbie makes airline reservations to fly from her home in Seattle up to Anchorage to meet George. She’s lonely. Why shouldn’t she make a mad romantic dash up to the last frontier to meet a man? She’ll just ignore the practicality and logistics of a long-distance relationship. When she calls George to let him know her arrival time, he chooses that awful moment to let Abbie know that he thinks they don’t have much in common after all and she should cancel her plane reservations. Abbie is stunned, humiliated and ashamed of the lonely desperation that drove her to make nonrefundable airline reservations to Alaska.
What to do? Abbie decides to go to Alaska anyway. A grouchy and depressed Abbie meets Tom on the plane, a tall, handsome anthropology professor who happens to be half Native Alaskan and half Caucasian. As the plane flies north, Tom and Abbie discover a mutual attraction. By flight’s end, Abbie is completely enamored of the stranger, and she doubts her judgment, perhaps even her sanity, as she finds herself falling again for yet another Alaskan male...until George shows up, that is.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT "A SIGH OF LOVE"
FIVE HEARTS FROM THE ROMANCE STUDIO! A SWEETHEART WIN!
I really enjoyed reading this book and found myself reading through the night because I just could not put it down. The sensual scenes were beautifully presented but were not explicit. The sex was alluded to, but not specific. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a good love story with great action. I believe that it will be a definite winner.
In A Sigh of Love, Bess McBride has once again delivered a heart-warming romance between two deserving people...
I enjoyed the developing romance between Tom and Abbie. Tom is a strong hero who knows he must be patient to win Abbie’s trust and love. Abbie is an intelligent, caring heroine whose loving heart has been wounded too many times. Tom is the real thing this time although she’s slow to realize it. Tom doesn’t give up and the ending is one of those I love to read over and over again.
The author’s wonderful descriptions of Alaska provide the perfect backdrop for the story. By the time I finished the book, I felt as if I’d been there with Tom and Abbie. I highly recommend A Sigh of Love for anyone wanting a sweet, satisfying romance in a beautiful setting.
Kerrie is on the run from a painful past, and she hides in plain sight as a summer employee in the majestic setting of Glacier National Park. Lonely and isolated from the family and friends she left behind, she dreams of the day when a kind and gentle man will say to her: “I fell in love with you the first time I saw you across the room.”
Dace Mitchell could be that man! The handsome bear ranger rescues Kerrie from her own foolish behavior--more than once--and she finds herself drawn to him against her will...until she discovers he’s already involved with someone else.
When Kerrie begins to get mysterious silent phone calls, it seems the past has caught up to her. Can Dace save her from a violent man who will stop at nothing to have her?
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT A TRAIL OF LOVE
"Ms. McBride outdid herself with this story... Pick up a copy of this story. I assure you that you won’t be disappointed. You did a fantastic job, Bess!"
College teacher Ellie Standish thinks she’s on a sleek modern train heading to a conference on women’s studies in Seattle, but she awakens from a night’s doze to find herself on a bizarre historical train full of late Victorian era reenactors who refuse to come out of character. When the leader of the group—one handsome, green-eyed Robert Chamberlain—finally convinces her the date is indeed 1901, a skeptical Ellie decries any eccentric theories of time travel and presumes she is smack dab in the middle of a very interesting historical dream. She turns the directorial reins of her dream over to one smitten and willing Robert, only to realize that dreams cannot last forever. Someday, she must wake up to reality, though Ellie no longer has any idea what reality is. She only knows that Robert must play an important part in her future. But how can he...if he’s only a figment of her imagination or worse yet...a man who belongs to an era long past?
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT "A TRAIN THROUGH TIME"
"Ms. McBride did a wonderful job of transporting me back and forth through time with Ellie... I would definitely recommend this pleasant time travel story to other readers and this is a definite keeper in my library. Don’t pass this one up!"
Daisy and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Lily, are embarking on a Caribbean cruise. She isn’t looking for anything special on the cruise other than a pleasant break from her humdrum existence as long-time divorced single mother to a busy teenage girl. She certainly isn’t prepared for an enigmatic man named Peter whose idiosyncrasies in dress and speech mark him as an eccentric person to avoid. But Daisy can’t avoid him. In fact, she begins to obsess about him from the first moment she catches him staring at her in the cruise ship terminal. Peter remains elusive and mysterious throughout the cruise. She catches sight of him occasionally, never often enough to please her, and they connect one wonderful night as he sweeps her into his arms for a waltz. A waltz? On a Caribbean cruise ship? While Daisy’s dinner companions share nightly tales of the legends of cursed pirates, Daisy dreams of the mysterious man who has captured her heart.
