Her Bridegroom Bought and Paid For (Brides of Karadok Book 4)

Product Information

From a time as old as the cold stone of the duke's ancestral castle, the Warrington men have been plagued by tragedy. In fact, it is much the literary equivalent of being stuck in a dull party with a group of people you can't escape from and suddenly someone fun shows up and saves you. I love that this book revisits old archetypes in a way that is so much more palatable than those classics from the 80s and 90s. She is the courageous seafaring captain of her own mighty fleet, and intelligent enough to win a battle of wits with Queen Elizabeth herself. Every slight against Aimee regarding her skin color/family background seems racially motivated, and I don’t think Alice did a good job of word building and setting up Aimee’s mother’s culture and background.

Hero may have been oblivious, but he had some shockingly dirty lines come out of his mouth for someone who didn't want to Fall In Love. Although the road to them sorting out their marriage and feelings to get their HEA had some complications, it made for a good story with some angst but not too much. For the last hour she had watched intently as the coast of southern England grew increasingly larger,. Unfortunately, Aimee and Konrad suffer from miscommunication, misunderstanding, and a couple of blunders. The book was good as far as what I usually expect from Alice Coldbreath, but unfortunately, the hero brought my enjoyment of the story to a halt several times.Advertising Disclosure: Please note that many links to retailers are affiliate links, which yields a commission for us. I had trouble keeping them straight and had to go back and remind myself who was who, so it did drag in the middle. One she had instilled in not just him but her household staff, her soldiers under her command as a general, and all his siblings. We get his inner monologue which makes things better, but when you get rid of his thoughts and consider just his words and actions to Aimee (which is the only thing that she herself sees), the picture becomes a little sad for me. A shy heiress and a well-known rake face a scandal-forced marriage that might be true love in the latest irresistible romance from the national bestselling author of Marry in Haste .

Aimee is the daughter of the riches merchant in Karadok and while at a tournament her eyes land on the heavily scarred Lord Kentigern and she falls in love. When it comes to picking out a wife, he knows exactly what he requires, perfection of face and form. Right now on my computer monitor, with a much larger screeen, the video is sitting in the lower right corner, not in the way at all, but it has also popped open and closed on its own. Summary of the Storyline: When Aimee, the daughter of a very wealthy merchant, first watches Lord Kentigern compete in a tournament, she falls for him instantly and decides to try to secure a marriage with him. I liked the first half more than the second, and the last third or so was the weakest in my opinion.Now I know Miss coldbreath can churn out a good plot, just take her book, A bride for the prizefighter as an example, and I also know she can really goes into detail writing about the character’s mundane, day to day lives, and that can be fun too…if there is also a plot, just like there was in a A Bride for the Prizefighter. Aimee saw Konrad at a tournament and was in love with him after witnessing his gracious handling of defeat, so finagles a marriage agreement between her and Konrad and her sister with a knight the sister admires.

The last of her ill-fated line, she is just grateful she emerged from the dark days of war with her head still on her shoulders. The last of that ill-fated line, she is just grateful she emerged from the dark days of war with her head still on her shoulders. Aimee is the younger daughter of a very wealthy merchant who falls in love with scarred knight Kentigern.And maybe then we could have explored Konrad's backstory and it would've felt less like reading about Aimee's husband being rude, most times unintentionally uncaring, to her and watching her stick through it long enough for him to love her back.
