Delve Into To Seduce A Bride (Courtship Wars, #3) Written And Illustrated By Nicole Jordan Released Through Bound Copy

am not sure I liked this one as much as the others, And I now have to hope that she is moving two of the secondary characters on to a book of their own Those were the only two characters that she didn't clear up by the end of the series.
I would have liked to see them either together or connected to someone else, Overall though I thought it was a good series, Easy to read but on the whole it became a bit redundant and you could have easily moved the characters around to each book and it would not have been that noticable.
Lilian Loring, the youngest of the three Loring sisters, is so set against marriage that she doesn't mind telling everyone so, She'd rather spend her days with her dearest friend, Fanny Irwin, who is a renowned Cyprian, Of course, Lillian doesn't want to follow in her footsteps, but prefers to have the freedom Fanny and her other Cyprian friends have,

What Lillian is not counting on is Heath Griffin, Marquess of Claybourne, whom she met the morning of her oldest sister's wedding, Heath makes her feel very strangehe is too virile and too charming, Heath is hoping to unnerve the lovely Lily and wants to court her, Heath is not apposed to the thought of marriage as Lily is, As he tries to figure out the eccentric Miss Loring, he can't help but be fascinated by her blunt conversations and her ideas about life, And it is always a plus that when he kisses her, she melts in his arms,

Heath frightens Lily away with his honesty about courting her, and she decides to spend some time with Fanny at her boarding house where other aging Cyprians reside.
She thinks Heath will never look for her there, Suddenly, Lily has other more important matters to deal with, such as Fleur and Chantel, two boarders who owe the odious Mick O'Rourke gambling debts, He wants his payment in a months time, or he will take Fanny as his mistress, Lily won't let Fanny sacrifice herself and tries to help these two formers ladies of the night, But then Heath shows up and won't leave without a chance at courting Lily as he wanted to do before she ran off,

Lily gives Heath two weeks to try wooing her, Heath has to channel his romantic side and break through Lily's defenses about her ideas of marriage and men, Heath also has Fanny, Chantal, and Fleur on his side, They all want Lily to be happy, and they begin to help Heath win Lily's heart, Heath can only hope that Lily will welcome his seduction, and that will hopefully lead to a ring on her finger and a ceremony that will make them husband and wife.


The third and final book in Nicole Jordan's Courtship Wars trilogy ends as a near perfect romance for Lily, the most difficult of the Loring sisters, Heath has much against him as he tries to seduce this bride to be! In the past two books, Lily is explained as wild and unruly, but in TO SEDUCE A BRIDE she comes into her own and is a very mature and thoughtful woman.
Her relationship with Fanny is what I would expect for two close friends to be, and I found it to be one of the best in the book,

As for Heath, I found him to be a lovely character, Lily sure does give him a run for his money, but Heath feels he will prevail, and even though Lily doesn't mind the physical aspect of his wooing, he wants everything, which means marriage.
When was the last time you read about a hero who wants marriage right from the start and doesn't keep his heroine dangling This story is a delight to read and a nice role reversal, for a change.


There are also so many interesting secondary characters including Basil, who may or may not have tender feelings for Fanny, and even that of the supposed villain, Mick, who is in love with Fanny, but the way he shows it hurts many people.


Nicole Jordan always writes historical romances that are a sure crowd pleaser, and TO SEDUCE A BRIDE is one of them, This is one book that is a great finale to a romantic series that should not be missed, The final story in this trilogy, Our heroine wants nothing to do with a husband as she has issues from her parents' unhappy union, Once our hero lays eyes on her, his mission is set, He wants her and knows marriage is the price he must pay, The entertainment comes from his seduction of the innocent miss,

I enjoyed reading the hero's efforts even when I wanted to smack the heroine upside the head, The elements of danger weren't necessarily directed at the heroine, but did advance some of the thinly veiled plot, There were no doubts of the outcome, but I still enjoyed the journey, . . I seriously almost never gave a book I read astar, because I'm too polite for that and I seriously admire people who could write an entire book and finish it, of course!.
But this time, I really couldn't help it

I didn't like Lily in the first book, I didn't like her in the second book, and I totally hate her in the third book.
She's just so callous, rude and just so unappealing, I couldn't understand why Nicole Jordan, the author, choose to make Lily's character like this, I love Arabella and Roslyn, and if she could make such an amazing character as Roslyn, why not use that little bit of charm to Lily Instead, Lily is just so full of herself and I don't think she ever deserves Heath in the first place.
He's too good for her

Thestar is actually my respect to the others "girls" in the story, especially those who actually show Lily the newspaper where the news of the Heath's "engagement" is made public, and how she pushed Lily to actually accept that she loves him Really, until almost the end you don't realize that Because you're too hardened by the world Seriously, lady

Towards the end I have little patience with Lily and I wonder how I finish the book.
I guess I like Heath so much to deny him his own story, He's such a delightful person, I just wish he got a better bride This is Lily Loring's story, She is the youngest of the Loring trio and she is also the most irritating, She has been complaining and insulting men since the first book, She has tried over and over to talk her sisters out of marrying the men that love them and make them happy, She cant see that not all men are like her despicable father, She is so wound up in her beliefs that she is right and everyone is wrong that she almost loses the one man that would do anything to make her happy.
I am surprised that she hasn't been severely hurt since she cant evaluate a situation before losing her temper and charging in where cooler heads might hesitate, I agree with her that the defenseless need to be championed but taking on a gang of bullies bigger and meaner than you are isn'tt smart, Lily is smart, compassionate, passionate, and loyal to a fault, She is patient, caring and honorable as well, She is just so very stubborn and unyielding,

Heath Griffin, Marquess of Claybourne, is enchanted with Lily from the moment that he kisses her in a barn on the Danvers Estate, I loved the way that Heath understood Lily from the very beginning, He was tender and caring, He never backed down from any of the things that Lily asked of him, He proves is compassion and loyalty over and over, He also never tries to change who Lily is at any point, I loved his dedication and stubbornness, He never gives up. In fact Heath provides some of the more lighthearted moments in the story,

I was also glad that Fanny found someone to love her as well, She has been so helpful to all the girls that I hoped she would find someone to care of her, The person that wins her heart was unexpected and delightful,

This is a well written story and there are some wonderful moments throughout the story, This could have been a great story if only Lily hadn't been so obstinate, We get to see glimpses of the other two couples in this story which is always great, I am looking forward to the next story in this series,
I'm really enjoying this series and this book was no exception, Another great novel in the 'Courtship Wars,' this time with the youngest Loring sister, I found her to be the most interesting out of the sisters and had the most interesting settings and characters, Now that the three sisters' stories are done I'm hoping the remaining three stories are just as interesting involving friends and extended family, This book is kinda disappointing, Lily has me facepalm myself inside my head numerous times, . . I completely understand her feelings because I know how it is but sometimes she had been too much and I feel bad for the hero, . Perhaps Basil and Heath are the only reasons I hang on reading this book, Also after reading Roslyn's story I had notice many similarities between that book and this one, The similarities aren't in the story of course,
First there are too many kissing and touching here and there and still the heroine would still refuse to wed,
Second repetitive arguments
Third hero's pov and lines T, T It goes somewhat like these, . . " He waited all his life, . '
"He had made love before but not like this, "

And a lot more that I can't name but notice nevertheless, . . Anyways because of these patterns I decided that I wouldn't read other books from the series because they might have the same formula as the series bookand, . . Seduction has never been more enticing than in this third novel of Nicole Jordan's enthralling trilogy, The Courtship Wars,

Spirited beauty Lilian Loring believes that love is too risky a venture and that marriage is best avoided entirelyeven if her unwanted suitor comes as deliciously packaged as Heath Griffin, the Marquess of Claybourne.
The charismatic rogue has never met a woman who can discourage his advances, and after a show of resolve Lily too melts under Heaths sensuous kisses, Perhaps that is why she decides to hide out in the last place a gentleman would look for a lady: a house of scandalous repute,

In bold pursuit, Heath discovers his enchanting spitfire cheerfully instructing the demimonde in the art of deportment, Now the thrill of the chase is exceeded only by his powerful need to possess Lily as his bride, For Heath, victory in their game of passion means nothing less than winning Lilys elusive heart, In a nutshell, the story goes like this:

Hero: Marry me,
Heroine: No, never! I hate marriage!
Hero: I'll make you change your mind,
Heroine: Never! But you're kind of hot, I guess, Let's just have an affair,
Hero: So will you marry me now
Heroine: Nope,
Hero: Fine, I give up, I don't want to marry you,
Heroine: Wait, I mean yes, I'll marry you!
Hero: Ok,

The plot was pretty much an exact copy of the first book, To Pleasure a Lady, with the same stupid bet between the hero and heroine.
Only this time, Lily is so much more annoying, even worse than her sisters, I like strong heroines, but Lily isn't one, She's stubborn, rude, arrogant, and totally does not deserve the hero, Heath, He could do so much better with someone else who actually appreciates him instead of playing dumb drama games, And speaking of the drama, it got repetitive and old really fast, The "scandal" about Lily's parents got mentioned a bazillion times it was also repeated ad nauseum in the previous books, and just made the conflict seem so contrived and overblown.
Lily just wanted to have her cake and eat it, and I was so done with her despicable behavior,

I only managed to slog through the entire book because I had read the other two books and it felt wrong to just quit, but now I doubt I'll continue with the rest of the series.
Here is the story in a nutshell, . .

"Marry Me" "No", "Marry Me" "No", "Marry Me" "No", "Marry Me" "NO!", "Okay, I don't want to marry you" "I want to marry you now" The End.
