The Duke's Inconvenient bridejune And don t worry the last 10% of the story has so many of the wrongs or slights done to the heroine addressed and it was soooo sweet With a sweet epilogue to follow 318 This is a new author for me but also this is her only book so I guess she would be an new author for everyone When I looked at this book on it says it s Tudor Historical but the read book sample shows it takes place in 1819 which is Regency Strange. Historical Fiction The Duke's Inconvenient brides I really liked this story a lot especially for a first time author I loved Emma and Vaughn I felt their personalities matched perfectly I really liked the story and felt she got great depth in the characters Sex scenes were not bad at all They had some really good detail and there were a few of them I do like to mention if there is sex in my reviews with a new author because I research every author and sometimes it s hard to know if there is sex in the books or not I know some people like it and some don t I will put her on my list of authors to read in the future 318 Read 6 27 243.

3. Book The Duke's Inconvenient brident 5 fun and quick read interesting characters i wish we got relationship dynamics between everyone but overall was cute and entertaining 318 This had decent angst and I enjoyed it 318 Vaughan Stanhope oedipalled so far close up to the sun he came spiralling right back down It s impossible unavoidable to not go to psychoanalysis when all the man does is think about his parents awful match how his mother didn t even have the dignity to hide her cheating how his father was a fool in love and how he refuses to be like them Instead he wants exactly what they had an open marriage essentially without any of the feelings He goes hunting for a wife who ll be decent enough respectful enough and he won t under any circumstances fall in love It all comes crashing down when he meets Emma and isn t she simply a fool in love I could go on about contrasts and comparisons but that d be spoiling the story Which is a fairly great story But I also want to shake both of the main characters just a little And then sit with each of them individually for a cup of tea for maybe an hour where I listen as they talk about their childhoods Great if you re into regency romances Made me think of Bridgerton and not in a bad way If anything I might rewatch the show to scratch the itch it left me with I love the period love the ton the dresses the balls I wouldn t last a day But it s fun to read about Thank you to Hidden Gems for the ARC 318 I really enjoyed this sweet historical romance I m a sucker for the resistant hero falling for the shy heroine Jilted and angry he definitely wasn t the happiest of husbands in the beginning This one had a well written story to go with the group of interesting characters It was just the story I needed 318 Thanks to Booksprout for a copy of this story and this is my freely given opinion. Book The Duke's Inconvenient brides book 1 This is a debut novel historical romance by this author In this story Vaughn Stanhope the Duke of Ashford has no desire to marry having seen a horrible example of it from his own poorly matched parents His mother flaunted her adultery and engaged in many affairs to the point where as a young child Vaughn caught her in bed with one of her lovers Despite her cheating his father was a fool in love and despite being publicly cuckolded by her loved her and that love crippled and wrecked him emotionally Vaughn suffered as a bystander to their drama and also as a target for cruel jibes and mockery by his peers not the least of which from his own cousin Reginald Unfortunately Reginald and his children are Vaughn s direct heirs and Vaughn will not let that stand. Book The Duke's Inconvenient bride by john Despite his disdain of marriage he is determined to enter the marriage mart and find himself a wife that meets his criteria including being well bred socially adept enough to make up Vaughn s own brusqueness and lack of social grace and a good hostess Most importantly she must not want love Vaughn is willing to give his future wife his name status and wealth but other than enough time together to beget an heir he does not want than a marriage of convenience. The Duke's Inconvenient bridecartoon To this end he and his friend the Earl of Longley descend on the London Season and sniff out the most popular star of the Season Lady Violet Carlisle She has debuted with her twin Emma but Emma is frequently overlooked and discounted by others including her own parents being the quieter less outgoing less obvious twin She is often overlooked or disparaged as being a pale imitation of Violet and this eats away at her confidence and enjoyment of society Ashford thinks Violet is perfect for his plans as a wife especially as he has no deep feelings or attraction for her Violet agrees especially considering her initial wishes on entering the marriage mart is to wed well and wealthy It is Lady Emma who desires the love match but luckily she is not for Vaughn Especially as he finds himself inconveniently attracted to both her beauty and her quiet strength and kindness His plans go seriously awry though when Violet finds herself realizing she is in love with another and she jilts the Duke and plunges him and her family into scandal. The Duke's Inconvenient bridecartoon To redeem themselves from scandal and being cut from Society the Carlisles convince Emma to save them and offers her to the Duke as an alternative and Emma is willing to do so to save her family from social ruin Emma is hopeful that she and Vaughn can learn to develop an affection that can become love in their marriage and is hoping time spent together can help this She is very confused and hurt when he consistently puts barriers up between them and does what he can to put space between them Every time she thinks they are getting somewhere in their relationship something happens to undermine her confidence or cause a futher rift she feels in their relationship But Vaughn is also not honest with himself or her about what he wanted in their marriage or the truth of what he feels for her and his fears. Book The Duke's Inconvenient bridesmaid dresses I felt this was a good debut historical romance with angsty miscommunication and misunderstanding as well as sensual attraction between the two characters Emma was a sweet character ad I liked her dynamic with her sister and her maid but wish that for a woman who was supposed to have a quiet strength her and whom Vaughn came to appreciate as not being a mouse I do wish she did confront her parents and Violet about all the ways they diminished and overlooked her over the years Vaughn did so as well in his initial treatment of her but did in the end give her the attention and courtship she deserved and the ending was quite sweet There was nice balance of sweet and sensual I did enjoy this story and look forward to any future stories.3.75 stars out of 5 318.
