rayne_99 's review for:
His Forsaken Bride
by Alice Coldbreath
Fenella and Oswald were arranged to be married over a decade ago so when her husband wants a divorce to marry another, she turns to Oswald for help.
I really liked reading about Fenella and Oswald but surprisingly, I enjoyed the other parts of this book too. I found it entertaining watching Fenella balance court life and the politics that surround it. While there were a lot of characters to remember, I found myself following each of their side stories fairly easily too.
Oswald was great. He was a little rude at times but I just couldn’t help but like him. He never had any malice behind it and I loved watching him slowly adapt to behave better after Fenella came back into his life. He always seems to be thinking about Fenella and it was the small things that made him so loveable like hanging up her portrait she gave him when she was a teen. Also, we love a long time celibate man. Please I need more of these now!
Fenella was such a sweetheart. She was always just trying to do the right thing and make everyone happy. She was soft and kind but still very impressive with all the crap she had to put up with in the past. Often times these types of characters can get a little annoying with their doormat behaviour but it worked with her. She still had her own thoughts and opinions but just wanted to be a good wife and fit in and there’s nothing wrong with that.
It was a little slow at times, but having listened to it rather than read it, I never really minded the slower parts. Some slow parts I actually loved like the romance ( Slow-burn romances are >> ). It had low angst/drama but the parts we got were perfect. It wasn’t too much but it fit well with the development of the story. I just really enjoyed reading this book and now I have to jump back to the first one! I’ve heard it’s even better so I’m very excited!
