Say Yes to the Marquess

Say Yes to the Marquess by Tessa Dare Summary:  Your presence is requested at romantic Twill Castle  for the wedding of Miss Clio Whitmore and ... and ...? After eight years of waiting for Piers Brandon, the wandering Marquess of Granville, to set a wedding date, Clio Whitmore has had enough. She's inherited a castle, scraped together some pride, and made plans to break her engagement. Not if Rafe Brandon can help it. A ruthless prizefighter and notorious rake, Rafe is determined that Clio will marry his brother--even if he has to plan the dratted wedding himself. So how does a hardened fighter cure a reluctant bride's cold feet? ·         He starts with flowers. A wedding can't have too many flowers. Or harps. Or cakes. ·         He lets her know she'll make a beautiful, desirable bride--and tries not to picture her as his. ·         He doesn't kiss her. ·         If he kisses her, he definitely doesn't kiss her again. ·         When all else fails, he puts her in a stunning gown. And vows not to be nearby when the gown comes off. ·         And no matter what--he doesn't fall in disastrous, hopeless love with the one woman he can never call his own. Angie's Comments: An interesting look at fighting in historical England, although the book doesn’t go too much into details about fighting. Clio is a strong heroine, and I like that she eventually recognizes that she has only been thinking about herself. And the ending is very fitting! Recommended for readers of Tessa Dare and readers of historical English romance.      Request this item
