Who doesn’t like Valerie Bowman’s books? This is kind of a fairytale. “The Unforgettable Hero: A Playful Brides story” , part #4,5 of the “Playful Brides” series is a wonderful rather short story.
Cecilia Hartcourt is a young woman with a little sister and a rabbit, whom they hide in the town house, they live with their not nice uncle and aunt and their son, since their parents died in a carriage accident. Their uncle only wants the money from Cecilia’s dowry and doesn’t even by her sick sister the medicine she needs, that’s why Cecilia sees her only chance in writing and novel and selling it.
On her way home from a publisher, the handwritten novel pressed against her chest, sad and without a perspective she is hit by a carriage, thrown to the floor. Unconscious.
Adam Hunt, the 3rd son (if I remember it correctly) son, a honorably discharged lieutenant, sees the accident and saves the young woman, brings her to his brother’s – the duke house and his sister in law of course takes care of the young woman.
When she wakes up, she thinks that she is the lead character of her own romance novel, thinks that Adam is Peter, her betrothed.
Do I have to say more?
It’s a fairytale nevertheless, in my opinion. But, why I only have it three stars – I would have gone for more erotic and I would have liked to see more of Adam’s sister in law because she nevertheless takes care of her in her house.
It’s a nice shortie.
Rating: 3***
des“ by Valerie Bowman but I loved this one. Daphne is about to give an engagement ball without being offered for yet but she counts on Fitzwills need for her money. She didn’t think of Rafe, Captain Cavendish, till he stands in front of her – her husband. Months ago the Swift’s, Daphne’s family, lost their oldest brother to the French, now Rafe asks for Daphne’s help in exchange for their annulment. But Rafe isn’t simply a Captain, he’s a spy.
