His Bride for the Taking by Tessa Dare is an adult historical romance novella, originally published on May 22, 2018. When Prince Rafael Marconi is tasked with escorting his brother’s future wife home, he’s surprised by the spirited, seductive woman that is Alexia.

Things seem to keep going from bad to worse on this ill-fated attempt at a honeymoon, but Mary is determined to make the best of it and to make her new husband her true husband despite his insistence that they take it slowly.

And the fact that their first fight as a married couple is about how to assemble the frame and slats on a Swedish bed frame without instructions (*cough* IKEA *cough*). Spinsterhood wasn’t an especially appealing prospect—not only because she’d always dreamed of falling in love, setting up house, and having children—but because with Henry gone, the modest family fortune had passed to a third cousin. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins.

I've been feeling kind of slumpy reading-wise this month, and this was the perfect tiny little pick-me-up.Tessa Dare is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than twenty historical romances. This trope isn't a favourite of mine, especially if both mcs have feelings for each other but don't take a chance.

Except after they get married, they gotta get all their lies out on the table for processing or something.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Sebastian comes up with a plan which could benefit her in many ways, and while she thinks him wanting to marry her is because he feels committed to her family, his motives actually have much more to do with only her. Emotionally satisfying, sprinkled with humour, scorching attraction, inner conflict trying to resist the irresistible, characters you can so easily root for. But the muddle and difficulties and awkwardness of the next couple of days: that was very well done. 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.

I’ve worked many jobs from extra on the TV show, Hercules, to service station attendant (real women do pump gas) and sales rep while putting myself through university studying for a degree in Management (looking back I’ve never quite figured out why I chose management, although I did have a hankering to wear a suit to work). It was the first rule of friendship among gentlemen: Never, ever lay a hand on your best friend’s sister. But a spur-of-the-moment declaration stating they will be wed could result in them both finding lasting happiness or doom them depending on how each reacts. I always enjoy seeing how an author portrays this time in history and if English society plays a part when decisions must be made. Booklist magazine named her one of the "new stars of historical romance," and her books have been contracted for translation in a dozen languages.She believed that women should have the vote, that prisoners should have better rations, that war widows should have pensions. It's like this is an idea draft of one of her novels that she had discarded and then later thought I'll publish it as it is!
