His Bride for the Taking: A Regency Romcom novella

Product Information

This is very short at a little over 100 pages, but there's a good amount of plot filling up the pages. While ruthless prince’s addictive kisses give Alyse the hint of something more beneath the lie, scandalous headlines threaten to ruin everything! Ames: Ok, usually I wouldn’t like shenanigans like Mary’s, but her and Sebastian were so good together, I didn’t mind.

It’s the first rule of friendship among gentlemen: Don’t even think about touching your best friend’s sister. The fact that it doesn't feel like instalove because they've both been secretly in love with the other one for YEARS.It’s been hard to keep his hands off of Mary because he’s always been a little bit in love with her but when she needs him to step up for her, he doesn’t hesitate. I then worked in finance in London for a couple of years, and in marketing back home in New Zealand.

When the newlywed couple arrives at the quaint home, they find it in a pretty poor state of disrepair as the caretakers have obviously not kept it up despite the continued, generous payments for its upkeep. This was a very fun read with minimal angst, steamy goodness, likeable characters, and a quick-moving story. When the secrets were finally revealed by all involved, it took a while to sort through the issues before the HEA was achieved. Book Binge is offered (and accepts) review copies of books from authors, publishers, publicists and other third party distributors.And then when I was older I discovered Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters and Georgette Heyer, thus sealing my fate as a romance junkie. I thought the romance was light, and it was fun and I felt the chemistry between Sebastian and Mary. The problem is Sebastian has been forever in love with his best friend’s older sister, but he does not want to impose on her, believing she is heartbroken. As such, her brother's best friend Sebastian insists on wedding her himself to protect her reputation. After reading other works of Tessa Dare, namely Girl meets Duke trilogy, I had high hopes for this one.

She was strong and self-reliant, because losing her mother at a young age had given her no other choice. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Sebastian realizes that this was not Mary's original plan or groom, so he fights within himself to takes things slow and tells Mary that he will not consummate their marriage until she is ready no matter how long it takes. In particular, you have a pretty great heroine who doesn't mindlessly go along with a notorious rake.One of those reasons was that she had been in mourning for her younger brother, Henry, who had died in battle. Emotionally satisfying, sprinkled with humour, scorching attraction, inner conflict trying to resist the irresistible, characters you can so easily root for.
