Search - Royal's Bride (Bride, Bk 1)

This book is typical of the genre, and though I see it has earned an average of four stars, I'm afraid that I cannot agree. I could not sympathize or empathize with the hero or heroine; they were always falling all over each other and had no self-restraint whatsoever (a bit unusual for a duke, wouldn't you say?) I found the anti-heroine to be totally obnoxious, and even though we were looking for a comeuppance, even she got her happy/sappy ending. The ending was so pat and predictable, I could have read it with my eyes closed. I usually enjoy this author (maybe I was having a bad day), but this book left me with the blahs.

I loved this book. It was so fun and exciting. I couldn't put it down and really looked forward to the next two books. You find yourself really rooting for Royal and hoping that the best can happen. A really good read.

Martin's Bride Trilogy are wonderful books that have quite engaging story lines. I have not found any of Martin's books that I did not enjoy but if you are new to her, this is a good place to start.

Miss Kat has a unique mind that twists and turns and keeps you from puting her books down. It is interestiing to read that the "elite" of English society could and would defy convention and love someone not of their "class". The story keeps you entertained and the twists keep you wanting more. Royal has his ideas of how a young woman should be and he keeps finding out that women have their own wants and needs. 'Tis a great read!

A great read one you just can't put down rainy day or not.
