When Virginia Heath was a little girl it took her ages to fall asleep, so she made up stories in her head to help pass the time while she was staring at the ceiling. As she got older, the stories became more complicated, sometimes taking weeks to get to the happy ending. Then one day, she decided to embrace the insomnia and start writing them down. But it still takes her ages to fall asleep.

Reviews for Miss Bradshaw's Bought Betrothal

[wyvernfriend · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Loved this, the characters sparked off each other and I could see the romance building, even as they both tried to resist it. Evelyn Bradshaw has a plan, get engaged to a guy who wants money, spend some time finding a suitable home, forever leave toxic step-mother and step-sisters to their own devices and have a life, what she doesn't expect is that her fiance will abandon her to his twin brother and that she would start to have feelings for him.He never believed that he would find another romance after his wife's tragic death, but Evelyn seems to be blowing a fresh breeze through his life and he's not sure he wants to let her go.I loved it, it caught my attention and wouldn't let go. I was cheering on the characters and hoping they got a good end for both of them and the scenes where she was nursing him after he broke some ribs and where she was finally dealing with her step-mother were priceless.
