Enjoyed the book up to the point that they started throwing in bedroom scenes! There was NO warning that this book contained soft porn-at least that is what it was in my eyes. Not Happy

To Wed The Widow The Reluctant Bride Collection Book 3 edition by Megan Bryce Romance eBooks Reviews

This is a really good Regency. That is rare and wonderful. The period is presented knowledeably, the situations are adult, but the sexual scenes, while explicit, are tasteful and important to both story and character development. The hero is loveable, but no angel. His relationship with his brother provides part of the conflict in the story, but the brother is not a villain, and the working out of their relationship provides some of the pleasure of this story. The heroine is interesting and as far from the usual Regency heroine as can be imagined, barely on the line dividing the haute ton from the rest of society. We root for her even when she decides to discard her precarious respectability for love. And we get a happily -ever -after which even the most fastidious reader will approve, in spite of her willingness to sacrifice. This is a satisfying read and I highly recommend it!
This is not your average formula-driven romance novel. It is much more, and there is nothing simple about it. To begin with, our H&h are more mature, age wise and otherwise, than most novels from this Era, and each carries some heavy emotional scars from the past, making the development of their romance more problematical than most. Add a wonderful supporting cast, some of whom are really more co-stars and are great contributors to the plot, and a nicely literate approach to this wonderful tale, and you have a great read. If you are looking for "sensuous /sizzling/blazing/" etc, etc you can give it a pass. This one needs no graphic sex to spice it up or, more likely, clutter it up. You won't miss it, or "adult" language, or gratuitous violence. The story stands well on its own two feet. I prefer not to write summaries of storylines, preferring to challenge the discerning reader to appreciate a good read by an articulate author. There you will find witty dialog, wry twists and, yes, even some tears. If you enjoy period pieces that do not spend pages describing the ladies dresses and hair styles and how many horses pulled the coach, it is well worth your time. Brava!
I expected a run of the mill regency romance but got a bit more. There was love, romance, marital misunderstanding, sibling conflict, and a heroine who Didn't marry a duke or earl. There was even a hero dog! Not Nobel Prize material - just a nice story.
This is an awesome book for a "mature" reader. I say this with tongue in cheek -- but I mean it. I have been reading romance books for almost 50 years now. It is very hard to capture the "period of time" and also make the book interesting, entertaining, and possible to believe. This book was fun to read, and has me going back for the other two in the series for more -- and to pay for them! I read this book for free and loved it. For those of us who are "older" and enjoy a well written book, not driven by pages of worthless sexual descriptions, but want an interesting and believable plot, with characters that are well-developed and "real"-- and developed for their time period - the book is wonderful. Don't expect someone who is an Earl to behave like a 21st century bachelor. Wrong time period! A lot of the period romances are really just not believable. This book has a lot of insight into many issues we face today, that were issues from ages long past, and at a time when the only birth control was abstinence. We may have traveled into the 21st century, but certainly there is a comparison to folks who lived in a past, who didn't have the many advantages we have, but who faced a lot of the same issue without having the progressive medical and procedures we have the pleasure to use. Very well done.
George Sinclair has returned from India at the request of his brother, the Earl of Ashmore, to take his place as heir and to perform his duty by marrying and producing the next heir. The Countess of Ashmore has given her husband four beautiful daughters, but he refuses to risk her life by trying for any more children. During the first ball he attends, George meets Elinor, The Widow. She's considered scandalous because she's been widowed by five husbands after only one year of marriage to each of them. George and Elinor play a game of cat and mouse, with much banter and amusing quips between them. They eventually fall in love, but Elinor knows George needs an heir and she's afraid she won't be able to conceive.

This book is really about two love relationships, because it spends just as much time on Lord and Lady Ashmore as it does on George and Elinor. This relationship was harder to read about. Lady Ashmore is kind, gracious, funny and very likable. Lord Ashmore is a jerk. He's prosy, proud and overbearing. He has not touched his wife in over a year since he loves her and was so worried when she almost died from the last pregnancy. I felt a little sorry for him, but he's so clueless and uncommunicative I mostly wanted to box his ears. Then the book hints that *maybe* he's getting his male needs met elsewhere and I never recovered any liking for him, even when he grovels to his wife - which is an excellent make-up scene. But the damage had already been done for me. He would have needed to clarify that he never committed adultery for me to be won over.

** Spoiler for sensitive readers**
A major theme in the book is Elinor losing her first child and then not conceiving again afterwards. She grieves, and the scene is very moving and sad. It's well written, and I like the occasional touching scene to move my emotions. But speaking from experience, this might be hard to read about for someone currently experiencing infertility or loss of a child.
** End Spoiler **

Overall this book is very well written and well edited. It held my attention and I read it in two long sittings without ever feeling the need to set it aside. This is the second book I've read by this author and I really enjoyed To Tame A Dragon (The Reluctant Bride Collection Book 2) also. Elinor's reluctance to get married could have become tiresome (which is often the case in other books) but the author keeps the story moving forward at a steady pace as the characters develop, and analyze and accept their own emotions and circumstances. Very well done. I liked this book, but it's not a keeper.

Additional note I bought this book at the introductory price of .99 cents and would never pay $6.99+ for a kindle book. I won't even spend that much on Kleypas, Balogh, Heyer, Burrowes, Quinn or other favorites. I'm making this comment because I find that sometimes my reading experience is directly proportional to what I spend on a book - the more I spend the more I expect. Since I only spent .99 cents, I was easy to please. If I had spent over $3.99 (my general max) I might have been pickier, though this book may have held up to the challenge.
