The Reluctant Bride by Beverley Eikli
3.0
The Pros and Cons of The Reluctant Bride
Pro: It is one of those marriage of convenience stories, which I always love, and set in a fascinating point in history.
Con: The main character, Emily, is (in my opinion) bratty and naive. As is so correctly titled, she is reluctant to give her trust and affection to a man who seemingly adores her for the memory of her dead fiance who actually cheated on her.
Pro: Angus McCartney is a true gentleman, and no one is afraid to call Emily out on her coldness.
Con: He is really the only person I liked in this novel.
Pro: There is plenty of mystery and suspense. As far as a historical thriller goes, this is pretty good.
Con: There is very little romance. Emily tolerates this guy for half it, starts to like him, and then things get complicated.
Pro: Those complicated things are splendid to see all come to a head.
Con: It did get confusing at times.
Pro: It was free.
Con: Grammar and spelling mistakes and a book that could've been richer historically.
