Greetings my darling readers, I know I’ve been
remiss in providing you reviews of good reads this past year and I apologize.
Life has a hold on me which does not allow me much reading time. I have tried
to make up for that in publishing my own good reads for you and I hope you’ve
given them a try. So to make up for my neglect, I will be offering up guest
reviews for you enjoy. I hope to be back reviewing for you soon but in the
meantime, I hope you’ll enjoy my dear friend, Connie Fischer’s reviews to guide
you to good reads. Enjoy and Happy Reading!
I present to you a guest review of THE WAYWARD BRIDE by Anna
Bradley, published February 26, 2019.
Blurb for THE WAYWARD BRIDE:
In
only six weeks, Isla Ramsey is due to marry Henry Northrup, the sixth Earl of
Sydney. But she remains haunted by memories of the dashing Hugh Courtney, the
Marquess Pierce. The handsome aristocrat had hinted at forever and then tossed
her aside, leaving Isla with few viable options. Now, as she awaits her new
fiancé's arrival from London, she rides her horse past Hugh's estate at
Hazelwood every day, pining for a man who was never truly hers.
Hugh Courtney may have left Isla's life, but he can't erase her from his thoughts. When he rescues her from a sudden snowstorm, they are forced to take shelter together at his private estate. In such close quarters there is no escaping each other. Yet no man wants a reckless wife—or a woman promised to another. As fate draws Isla further into his world, Hugh vows to keep her out of his bedchamber. However, some vows are meant to be broken.

Review:
Huntington
Lodge, Buckinghamshire - 1818
Isla Ramsey’s sister-in-law, Hyacinth, has caught her just as she is planning to take a morning ride. Hyacinth insists that the weather is getting bad and it will likely snow soon. But Isla wants to be outside to see her betrothed, Henry Northrup, the sixth Earl of Sydney, when he arrives. In truth, Isla likes to ride past Hazelwood, the estate of Hugh Courtney, the Marquess Pierce. Some time ago, she had been caught in a library with Lord Sydney and now Lord Pierce wants nothing to do with her.
When Hyacinth decides to take a rest, Isla chooses to slip out for a ride. The weather quickly grows bad causing her horse to bolt. Now, she and her horse are lost in the worsening weather. When a frozen branch falls in front of them, the horse throws Isla and she then passes out. Hugh finds her outside and takes her inside his home. She doesn’t have any injuries other than the severe cold temperatures she was subjected to, but the weather has gotten so back she has to stay at his home for several days before she can go back to Huntington Lodge.
The time together allows Isla and Hugh to discuss what happened to their relationship and what went wrong. They also simply have time to truly get to know one another.
In the meantime, Sydney has had a severe carriage accident and is taken into the home of a farmer named Lucas who treats his injuries and nurses him back to health.
Duty calls Isla and Sydney even though their hearts are drawn in different directions. Will they follow duty or their hearts?
What a totally delightful love story! I loved every word of it. Isla is such a sensitive person and has a way of getting people to open up. Sydney’s is the first I have read of an M/M love story and I was so touched at how beautifully the author wrote it. Very well done! This is a wonderful novel and I hope lots of people will read it.
