Historical Romance
From Goodreads:
"He saved
her life...
When
Annalise Hadley is tossed over the side of her honeymoon barge, the
newly-minted duchess knows she's been left for dead -- for her husband's only
interest is in her vast dowry, not her muddied lineage. However, she didn't
count on a savior. Especially not an honorable, sinfully intriguing earl who
will tempt her to risk everything—again.
Now he
will seduce her heart and soul
A man
with his own demons, Owen Crawford, the reclusive Earl of McDowell, is
enchanted by the mysterious, courageous woman he rescued. He will help her
heal, teach her to protect herself, and then send her away—so that she’ll never
see he’s far from the hero she believes him to be.
But days and nights alone prove
that some secrets are meant to be discovered...some desires are too powerful to
resist…and some wounds can only be healed by love.'
Annalise is another of Jack’s
children. If you have read the
previous books you know he went out and found his illegitimate children and
brought them into society. He goal
is to marry them to quality and Annalise has just married a Duke but there is
no HEA for those two."
How to Lose a Bride in One Night has
some very interesting characters.
There are the gypsies who help out. There is Owen who suffers from what we know as PTHD. There is Annalise who decides to never
be a victim again. And there is the
horrible Duke who tried to kill Annalise.
When they are all mixed up they help make a very good story. I wondered how Annalise would get out
of her bad marriage and was glad to see the Duke get what he deserved.
Annalise and Owen had a rough but
enjoyable journey to their HEA.
How to Lose a Bride in One Night was a good addition to the Forgotten
Princesses series.
Avon published How to Lose a Bride in One Night by Sophie Jordan in 2013.
Hi Jo,
ReplyDeleteRomance is quite high up my list of preferred genres, although I couldn't read them to the exclusion of everything else, especially my favourite murder mystery / suspense thrillers.
I have read a couple of other series, where each book is the story of a one of a group of siblings and we learn how they individually form their unique personalities and forge their own lives, so this series might be worth a look, although I shall need to go back to the first book and read them in sequence.
Nice review and thanks for sharing,
Yvonne
