His Bride for the Taking: A Regency Romcom novella

Product Information

He agreed to Vanessa’s ruse for her adorable son’s sake and for the opportunity to claim some “husbandly” pleasures. I wanted something quick and nothing seemed to appeal to me, until I noticed this novella sitting on my kindle , thanks to the quarantine freebie the author gave to us! Tessa Dare is really good at bringing the humor and for such a short story, she packed it real nicely into this one. This trope isn't a favourite of mine, especially if both mcs have feelings for each other but don't take a chance. Henry’s sister Mary is off-limits but when Henry died, Sebastian promised that he would take care of Mary.

And when you add in the servants trying their hardest to impress through French cuisine and then announcing that dinner consists of soup and pain, poison, cocky vein with pumpery, and chocolate mouse and I was positively HOWLING with laughter.

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. Sebastian can’t stand to see his friend’s sister, the woman he’s been secretly in love with since childhood, jilted on the most important day of her life. Overall, I give the book 3 stars — it’s frothy and fun, but neither as memorable nor as entrancing as many of Dare’s longer books. His close friendship with Henry Clayton had kept Sebastian Ives, Lord Byrne, from acting on his attraction to the man’s sister, Mary. His Bride for the Taking is a cute, short novella about a lord who rescues his deceased best friend’s slightly older sister after her fiance jilts her at the altar.

there's also the little incentive that he has been hopelessly in love with her for the last 11 years since he met her, but that's beside the point. From there, they set off to his seaside cottage that he believes will afford them some privacy while the gossiping dies down and will also be a nice place to spend a honeymoon. It’s the first rule of friendship among gentlemen: Don’t even think about touching your best friend’s sister.

It was decent and didn't make me hate it which kind of why I read these books so I clearly didn't go in predisposed to like it. That knowledge was both a blessing and a curse, yes I finally had a dream but then the hard slog of making it a reality began. I think because by the time they were married and already well into the first couple days of their marriage, we know that Sebastian was madly in love with Mary but had that not been the case, I think I would have been more mad.
