His Bride for the Taking: A Regency Romcom novella

Product Information

It's a typical Tessa Dare story - a hero who's a badass on the outside but turns to marshmallow fluff around the woman he loves, a heroine who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it, a side of general ridiculousness and hilarity, some swoon, and a happily ever after. Had me chuckling with laughter, in awe and stitches at one crotchety caretaker and his fiery wife's antics, building with anticipation, warmed with touching uncertainty and seduced by one besotted, brooding, knight and his debate with himself to freely love the damsel of his dreams, with spicy results.

Rowena: His Bride for the Taking is a novella by Tessa Dare that was originally published in the Rogues Rush In anthology.

His Bride for the Taking by Tessa Dare is an adult historical romance novella, originally published on May 22, 2018. I also liked that we got to see Sebastian run the gamut of emotions over her actions and it wasn’t slipped under the rug. The royal playboy can feel an immediate connection, but the American heiress is strictly off-limits! I’ve worked many jobs from extra on the TV show, Hercules, to service station attendant (real women do pump gas) and sales rep while putting myself through university studying for a degree in Management (looking back I’ve never quite figured out why I chose management, although I did have a hankering to wear a suit to work). Booklist magazine named her one of the "new stars of historical romance," and her books have been contracted for translation in a dozen languages.

Not my favorite trope: I find it hard to believe that there is any sort of rule against wooing a best friend's sister. And when you add in the servants trying their hardest to impress through French cuisine and then announcing that dinner consists of soup and pain, poison, cocky vein with pumpery, and chocolate mouse and I was positively HOWLING with laughter. Tessa Dare is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than twenty historical romances.Even if you found him, reduced him to pleading at gunpoint, and brought him back to this chapel within the next quarter-hour, I would refuse. They’ve both been harboring unrequited love for the other but felt they couldn’t do anything about it. With her bestselling “Spindle Cove”, “Castles Ever After”, and “Girl Meets Duke” series, she has had great fun creating heroines who defy the conventions of their time—engaging in “unladylike” pursuits that range from paleontology to beer-making—and dreaming up the strong-willed, sexy heroes who find their hearts ensnared by them.

This novella has Tessa Dare’s winky humour (there is a Swedish furniture scene that I found hilarious), a feminist heroine, and a grumpy but besotted hero. Billionaire cattleman Kirk Deverill had offered her the job to help her keep her son, although the eligible bachelor hadn’t expected her to tell everyone she was also Kirk’s bride-to-be! Emotional moments and situations filled with humor can be found in this delightful Regency period story, where the imagination of Tessa Dare repeatedly creates compelling scenes. This novella was originally published in Rogues Rush In: a Regency Duet (2018), by Tessa Dare and Christi Caldwell It's the first rule of friendship among gentlemen: Don't even think about touching your best friend's sister.It might be squicky, but it I would guess it's more likely encouraged than not, especially if the brother is bestowing her hand.
