REVIEWS of Reese's Bride Wonderful in every way... In this second book of Martin’s Brides Trilogy, readers are reunited with the oh so dashing Dewar brothers, Royal, Reese and Rule. This time it’s Reese who is embroiled in conflict. He’s suddenly living under the same roof with the woman who broke his heart, and the man who saved his life in battle is accused of treason. But it’s his perceptive Aunt Agatha, Lady Tavistock, who uncovers the greatest conflict of all. Brothers and loyal friends rally to Reese’s aid in this bittersweet story of love and destiny. Like Royal’s Bride, wonderful in every way. – ReaderToReader.com ...click here to read entire review Terrific tense victorian thriller... The second Victorian Dewar sibling’s Bride romance (see Royal’s Bride) is a terrific tense thriller starring two terific lead characters, a perhaps too precocious son, and two vile villains. The story line is fast-paced from the moment Elizabeth arrives at Briarwood and never slows down until the final confrontation between Dewar and Holloway. Fans will appreciate this superb second chance at love historical tale. – Harriet Klausner ...click here to read entire review Captivates readers with characters who leap to life... REESE'S BRIDE, the second in the trilogy about the devilish Dewar brothers, captivates readers with characters who leap to life. Ms. Martin shows the ramifications of Elizabeth and Reese's bad decisions and the effects it has on everyone involved. Her talented storytelling makes the tale of murder and lost love a keeper. – Fresh Fiction, Suan Wilson ...click here to read entire review Reese’s Bride is sensual, romantic, and full of angst ... The last person Reese Dewar wants to see again is Elizabeth Aldridge, but when Elizabeth and her young son Jared bang on his door in the middle of the night, Reese cannot turn them away. Elizabeth's claims are outrageous, but it’s obvious that she and her son are in trouble. Elizabeth knows that Reese would like to send her away, and she doesn't blame him for hating her. Eight years ago, they were young and in love, planning their life together, but then Reese went off to war and Elizabeth was left alone when she needed him most. Elizabeth had no choice but to marry Edmund Halloway, Earl of Aldridge. Reese still wants Elizabeth so when a situation presents itself to get her in his bed, he leaps at the chance, offering Elizabeth a salvation she dare not refuse, if only for the sake of her son. As the secrets of Elizabeth’s past emerge, Reese is forced to see Elizabeth in a different light. Her biggest secret is yet to reveal itself, though, and when it does, her safety be damned, Reese may never forgive her this time. Reese and Elizabeth’s sexual chemistry simmers from the first time they see each other again. Reese smolders when he looks at Elizabeth. The air around them is heavy with desire. Their connection goes deeper than sex, though. Reese and Elizabeth share the memories of both a passionate and memorable past as well as the pain of losing it. Reese’s anger and resentment toward Elizabeth is understandable. His heart was broken and his pride injured. Elizabeth had to make some very hard decisions when Reese left. She was young, in love, and then left alone. She had few choices. It’s as exciting to watch Reese and Elizabeth’s slow reconciliation as it is to see them finally together. A large cast of well developed secondary characters enhance Reese’s Bride, such as the charming son Jared and the malevolent villains. The sub plots are interesting in and of themselves. Reese’s Bride is sensual, romantic, and full of angst. It’s one of my favorite Kat Martin novels to date. Joyfullyreviewed.com Do not miss REESE’S BRIDE!
Elizabeth Clemens promised to
wait for Reese Dewar when he went off to fight with the
British Cavalry. Now, eight years later, Reese is back home
on his estate, Briarwood, and Elizabeth Clemens Holloway is
the recently widowed Countess of Aldridge. Just scant
months after she promised to love Reese forever, Elizabeth
married Edmund Holloway, the Earl of Aldridge. For Reese,
the pain went deeper than the injury he now lives with day
in and day out, thinking she married Holloway for his
money. Elizabeth was the love of Reese's life, and he will
never let himself forgive. So, when Elizabeth ends up
standing on his doorstep in the middle of the night asking
for shelter for her and her young son, Jared, all Reese
wants to do is turn her away. Instead, he gives Elizabeth,
her son, and Mrs. Garvey, the nurse, a place to stay until
he can sort things out in the morning. As far as Reese is
concerned, one way or another, Elizabeth will pay for her
treachery before she leaves his protection. |
