Snag Married To The Viscount (Swanlea Spinsters, #5) Translated By Sabrina Jeffries Accessible In Publication
amazing
I loved this book, It was about a English man who was married by proxy to an American woman, And the naughty brother who set it all up, I loved this story. I saw that I had rated it three before but I just have been nuts, Yes there were times when the hero was a pompous jerk but when he groveled, he really groveled, The intimate scenes were steamy without being coarse and I just loved the hero by the end of the bock, There's nothing better than seeing a rake hopelessly in love with his woman, And the epilogue was sigh worthy, When I feel that at the end of the book , I know it's a keeper, Nice change of pace and no cheating, I may have to revisit the rest of the series too,./ pushed toStars by the skin of its teeth,
HOOPLA audio Married to the Viscount is the last in the Swanlea Spinsters series, and my ratings for all of them averaged toStars.
It's a good thing I've read Sabrina Jeffries' newer books and that she's a good writer, because this series had a lot of eye rolling moments.
Why did I continue the series then Well, annoyed as I was with some of the antics I still wanted to see how the stories wrapped up.
In this book I grew tired of Abby Abigail constantly saying how average and unattractive she was, I can understand her feeling different from the other English women because her mother was American Indian, but different isn't unattractive,
Also, Spencer not telling Abby he can't have kids until after he's bedded her just solidified my dislike for this "hero".
who is no hero at all to me, He wasn't a very likable character, He was controlling, condescending, arrogant, selfcentered, manipulative and hurtful to Abby in so many ways, A hero with some of those qualities is fine, one with all of them is counter productive in a romance, JMHO
My thoughts will not discourage me from reading more of SJ's books, . . Alright so I thought that I loved theth book when trying to remember all the books during this reread the most because Morgan is the lead male I tend to love, but guys.
. . I LOVE Spencer. LOVE. The dialogue and banter in this book is what I am here for, The way that Abby matched Spencer was perfect in every way, She didn't let him off the hook for things and he eventually listened to her and realized that she was right, I also started to associate Spencer as a Slytherin through and through and Abby as a Hufflepuff and it just warmed my heart because every Slytherin needs a Hufflepuff counterpart.
That's just my inner Harry Potter coming out,
Basically this book was the perfect end to the series, It rounded everything out and brought smiles to my face most of the time, Originally posted on Adria's Romance s
Married to the Viscount is one of my favorite Sabrina Jeffries books, It is one of the few books that checks off all the things that make a historical romance a hit for me.
Spencer Law, the Viscount Ravenswood is such a stuffy, arrogant and a generally unlikable fellow when he is first introduced to readers in Dance of Seduction so finding out he was to be the hero of the next book was a little hard to believe.
Would this stuffy man lower his lofty standards and harsh character long enough to attract a woman Apparently not, he had to be forced into a marriage in order to have a chance at love.
Spencer was handsome and rich of course but at the beginning of Married to the Viscount he really doesn't have much else to commend him.
He's courteous of Abby, the woman who claims to be his wife, but when he finds himself becoming attracted to her, he lets his insecurities and his secrets rule his verbal responses to her.
At times he's cold and cruel to her and other times he's caring and sweet, It's enough to make a woman's head spin!
Abigail is a lovely heroine, When reading historical romances set in Regency England, it's always nice to have at least one American preferably a woman thrown into the mix to turn things upside down and Abby doesn't disappoint! She's definitely kind but she's also forthright, intelligent and sarcastic.
She tries so hard to please her stranger husband, whom she's desperately attracted to but she doesn't cross the line into "wimpdom" by letting him walk all over her.
That's so important in a heroine, just because she cares for the hero, she shouldn't let him do or say what he wants to her.
Of course, she isn't made of stone and Spencer's objections to their marriage hurt her, but she doesn't shrivel up and whine, she gets up and fights dirty.
She isn't afraid to tease him or to face him head on in an argument,
There's plenty of sexual tension between Spencer and Abby, almost from the beginning and it builds slowly and passionately, Mixed in with that passion is such angst from both characters, each one wanting the other and thinking it isn't possible, The longing adds such
an appeal in the story that when I first read it, I just could not put it down until I finished it! Years later, upon reading it again on my Kindle, I found that I still loved Married to the Viscount as much as I did when I bought it in print.
Spencer and Abby's road to a happy ending was well written and perfectly timed, They got to know themselves and each other better through their forced circumstances, and Spencer had to choose between confronting his fears or losing Abby forever.
Married to the Viscount is the last book of the Swanlea series but in my opinion can be read alone since the previous characters don't do much but play supportive roles.
What an amazing book to end this series on, It definitely managed to make me forget about the disappointment which was the fourth installment in this one, I very much enjoyed the main heroes' banter which also took me back a bit to the first book which had me hooked into the series, so that's always a good thing, too and their story.
Overall, this series was not as good as Jeffries' more recent ones like Hellions of halstead hall or The Duke's men, but I still enjoyed parts of it very, very much, and I'm glad I decided to "revisit" some of Jeffries' earlier work, even if it's bound to have some kinks.
Loved it! PARAH!
ini rame banget, menurutku,
Spance sudah tertarik pada Abby dari pertama ia melihat gadis Amerika itu di dapur rumahnya, dengan kepangan dan kelompakkelopak bunga yang bertebaran di sekitarnya dan di celemeknya.
sebuah muslihat yang dilakukan oleh adiknya Spance, Nat, membuat ia menikah dengan Abby, dengan tanggungjawabatau kebiasaannya untuk memperbaiki segala kesalahan Natmembuat Abby untuk menyetujui pernikahan purapura sampai mereka menemukan Nat dan menghindari skandal,
waktu terus berjalan dan Abby menjadi menginginkan Spance untuk menjadi suami sungguhannya, namun ketika harapan itu benarbenar dimusnahkan oleh Spance dengan suatu alasan yang membuatnya memutuskan untuk membujang seumur hidup, apakah Abby bersedia untuk memaafkan Spance dan dapat menerima Spance apa adanya
iniwell bukan pertama kalinya juga sih perasaan, kedua tokoh utama sudah mengungkapkan perasaan mereka namun konflik belum benarbenar selesai, baik di luar maupun di dalam hubungan mereka sendiri.
