Synopsis<\/u><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Max, Marquess of Hargreaves, needs a wife to discourage the machinations of his feckless heir\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Finding a bride won\u2019t be easy for the man who defied the rules of gentlemanly conduct by breaking his betrothal a decade before. Careful parents will look at him askance after that scandal and he dreads being trapped by another woman only interested in his wealth and position.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Desperate to escape a forced marriage, Georgie Sherborne runs away from her guardian on a snowy morning days before her twenty first birthday. Max rescues her and offers marriage to save her reputation and solve his problem. The marriage starts well but the odd attitude of Max\u2019s housekeeper towards Georgie makes him wonder if he has been trapped after all.<\/p>\n

My Review<\/u><\/span><\/h3>\n

This is my first review of 2021 and the first book I\u2019ve managed to read since November last year. Pregnancy and now home-schooling seem to have caused quite a reading slump for me which I\u2019ve found hard to get out of, that is until I started reading this book.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Josie Bonham has yet again produced a delightful, well written book set in the regency period. It has a fantastic Christmas feel to it and I struggled to put it down as I needed to know what was going to happen next. It was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. The characters were loveable and easy to relate to which made it an easy read.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is the third book of the reluctant bride\u2019s series but, could be read as a stand alone novel. Although I would recommend reading the other two in the series first as you will have a better understanding of some of the characters and this helps with the overall enjoyment of book.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was sad when I came to the end of the book but it leaves me looking forward to the next in the series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you, Josie Bonham for allowing me to read and review your wonderful book. Please keep me updated on the next in the series. I cannot wait to get stuck in.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
