My Review:
The title of The Blackmailed Bride drew me to Mandy Goff's book. Plus, I was curious about the Love Inspired Historical line.
The Blackmailed Bride is a quick read. I was easily frustrated by the lack of communication between Olivia and Marcus. I figured out several plot points, but I still enjoyed the book. The butler, Gibbons, was hilarious. I was pleasantly surprised by several moments that had me laughing out loud.
Read for:
-brother's best friend
-dastardly villain
-the butler
-Regency era
I look forward to reading the next book, which is Marcus' story.
★★★★/5
Synopsis (Goodreads):
The despicable Baron Finley is the last man Lady
Olivia Fairfax would want as her husband, but what choice does she
have? He holds the secret to a family scandal, and she must bow to his
blackmail or see herself and her brother publicly disgraced. Steeling
her resolve—and shielding her heart—Olivia is prepared to do her duty to
her family…until Nicholas Stuart, the Marquess of Huntsford,
complicates her plans. Nick is brave, honorable, infuriatingly
attractive and unshakably determined to protect Olivia—even from
herself. He won't let Olivia sacrifice her happiness for any price.
Instead, he'll teach her to follow her heart…and pray that it leads her
straight to him.
Sometimes a light, easy read is exactly what I need. Still, I think the lack of communication between them would have frustrated me too.
