Tempting the Bride

Written by Sherry Thomas

Narrated by Jenny Sterlin

In this new masterpiece of historical romance from the acclaimed Sherry Thomas, a headstrong beauty is rescued by the notorious rake she has always despised... Helena Fitzhugh understands perfectly well that she would be ruined should her secret love affair be discovered. So when a rendezvous goes wrong and she is about to be caught in the act, it is with the greatest reluctance that she accepts help from David Hillsborough, Viscount Hastings, and elopes with him to save her reputation. Helena has despised David since they were children-the notorious rake has tormented her all her life. David, on the other hand, has always loved Helena, but his pride will never let him admit the secrets of his heart. A carriage accident the day after their elopement, however, robs Helena of her memory-the slate is wiped clean. At last David dares to reveal his love, and she finds him both fascinating and desirable. But what will happen when her memory returns and she realizes she has fallen for a man she has sworn never to trust?

This is just THE best series. I loved all three. I hope there are more and if not, I wish there were more. Ms. Thomas, give us more!!!

I love, love, loved this book! The amnesia angle totally caught me off guard but gave the story a greater dimension and depth than just the usual forced marriage, "I hate you, but I have to marry you anyway" scenario. David was wonderful and I loved him and his inner anguish, loving Helena all along and hoping she gets better, but dreading what will happen when she remembers what an ass he'd been over the years. Some flaws did exist in the storyline though: not enough background on his illegitimate daughter, Bea. Still, I loved his tender relationship with her. I also loved his smutty story within a story, which was so clever! Let's face it, this was the best of the trilogy and Sherry Thomas is an absolute favorite of mine! I was also glad to see some lovin' between Fritz and Millie as well. Their story (2nd in the trilogy) ended sort of up in the air and I was glad to see they're happy and living it up in book three! A worthwhile series! Oh no! Now I have to wait forever for Sherry Thomas to come out with her next series, whenever that will be! Whenever it is, I'm sure it will be worth the wait!

Sherry Thomas is a master story writer. Her novels run the gamut of emotions and I am amazed every time by how much she makes me feel with her words.
