Where do I start!! Barely a Bride is one of the best Historical Romance stories I have read all year. It will go on my re read list. This was my first Rebecca Hagan Lee book and I am very impressed by her storytelling.
I fell in love with the Free Fellows League and I loved reading there Charter signed in blood. They are just the cutest 9 and 10 year old heirs to titles. They become friends at school and when one of them gets his feelings hurt by a very young female girl they come up with the Free Fellows League. Rules to protect them from marrying and to follow if they have to marry. Typical 9 and 10 year boy stuff. However when they grow up they find its not that easy to follow the rules.
The main characters of this story is Viscount Griffin Abernathy heir to the 17th Earl of Weymouth. Griff is about to join his Calvary The Blues going to fight Napoleon. His father the Earl has decided he must marry first and beget an heir before he leaves to fight. He might die and he is the only child so he must leave an heir. This is just funny!! Griff has one week to marry and get his heir!!
Lady Alyssa Carrollton is the youngest daughter of the Earl Tessingham. Tessingham is only interested in breeding his horse flesh and his fox hounds. You can say he is obsessed with his stables and kennels. Lady Tessingham Alyssa mother wants her daughter to marry a Duke the Duck of Sussex as a matter of fact.
Griff and Alyssa do marry and this starts the best sensual Historical Romance I have read in a long time. There is great character development and a good about of back story for the characters. The story is rich in the banter between the characters. The setting or scenes are perfectly matched to the Georgian Era. There is also sad events along with but with lots of very happy funny moments. You can easy see the love progressing between Griff and Alyssa. The only thing I felt left out was they didn't make the heir!! Its always a great HEA when the next heir is born.
Barely a Bride was an Excellent Story and I got it Free on Amazon what A boon for me!! I Highly Recommend Barely a Bride!!! Well Done Ms. Lee!!
