Cute story of a duke who returns, by accident to the woman he loved (and ruined) ten years earlier. She's having nothing to do with him while running a clandestine business smuggling cognac off the coast of Yorkshire to keep her family estate afloat - barely. His charms and that old thing called passion just won't let her stick to her guns. Before she knows it, he's wormed his way back into her heart. While trying to expose a traitorous jewel ring, can he also save her from the someone that's trying to kill the two of them as well? http://ktleyed.blogspot.com/2010/11/belated-bride-by-karen-hawkins.html aucune critique | ajouter une critique

She'd Never Marry Him! The last man Arabella Hadley ever wishes to see again is Lucien Deveraux, the handsome, dissolute Duke of Wexford -- who broke her innocent heart years ago and disappeared to London. So when she finds an unconscious man on her deserted country road and sees that it's Lucien, she's tempted to leave him there. But even more appalling than his presence is the brazen kiss he plants on her shocked lips and her response! So it would be totally insane to take him home to recover -- wouldn't it? Except For One Small Thing... Lucien dares not reveal why he's returned to his country estate -- or why he abandoned the strong-willed beauty years ago. Especially since Arabella clearly has secrets of her own. But when her scheming, marriage-minded aunts successfully compromise them, the two are forced to become man and wife. Which makes it ever harder for both to battle the passion that never disappeared... Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Lucian and Arabella are meant to be together, you know it from the start. So much passion, quite often cloaked as anger but still passionate anger. This story answered my questions about the Duke of Wexford from the pervious book, The Abduction of Julia. It's a stand-alone but I was curious about him & his backstory. Arabella has been backhanded by life for years. She's managed to carry on for the sake of her family, she's a caregiver type personality. I liked her, understood her motivations. Her 2 aunts are remarkable, funny, wise, prudish, sweet ladies. One gambles and one drinks, loved them. I think you'll have an enjoyable time with Lucian and Arabella's journey. I, once again, have to ask...what happened to Edmund Valmont? He's the hapless fribble friend in both books and what a hoot. I think he deserved his own story.
