Barely a Bride (Free Fellows League #1)

..
In the introductory installation of this series, the reader is gifted with bouts of silliness and HUMOR. However, there are other aspects not quite as appealing. The inclusion of humor in a historical romance grabs my attention quickly and since it so rarely displayed, I grab it when I can!
DESCRIPTION:
The noblemen of the Free Fellows League have vowed to "avoid the inevitable leg-shackling to a female for as long as possible." But when Viscount Abernathy is called off to war, he must obey his father's wishes that he marry-and fast.
Abernathy is lucky to find Lady Alyssa as agreeable to a marriage of convenience as he is. But, two years later, scarred to his soul from the war, all Abernathy wants is love. And now he must win his wife's heart, by wooing the bride he left behind...
This is a quirky and silly tale loosely based on the historical Regency era. The details are not all correct. But what I found interesting was the sense of humor displayed regarding the entire oddity presented. Obviously things would go so much smoother with actual communication of one's feelings.
The horrors and after-effects of war were significantly portrayed. The atrocities of war continue to plague people around the world every day.
This installation is able to stand on its own and delivers a well-deserved H.E.A. I would be interested in reading the remainder of the series, but alas I cannot afford to purchase it.
Those that prefer a clean read should SKIP this series to avoid being offended. It definitely does not fit in a clean category. Be warned so that you don't deduct points on your reviews. The authors do dedicate their time and effort to research their topics and surroundings, then pour their imagination into their works. And, believe it or not, there are some readers that prefer 'steamy' to clean and wholesome reads.
It would indeed be more beneficial to readers and authors if the promoters would work together with Amazon and/or Goodreads to provide notification of a category that clarifies sexually explicit content, to better inform the entire reading audience. It would definitely be a Win-Win situation!
