- BOOK BLURB
- Major Calbourne Rutherford returns to England on the trail of an assassin, only to find he’s become Lord Ashendon, with the responsibility for vast estates and dependent relatives. Cal can command the toughest of men, but his wild half-sisters are quite another matter. They might just be his undoing.
When he discovers that Miss Emmaline Westwood, the girls’ former teacher, guides them with ease, Cal offers her a marriage of convenience. But strong-minded and independent Emm is neither as compliant nor as proper as he expected, and Cal finds himself most inconveniently seduced by his convenient wife.
Emm knows they didn’t marry for love, yet beneath her husband’s austere facade, she catches glimpses of a man who takes her breath away. As pride, duty and passion clash, will these two stubborn hearts find more than they ever dreamed of?
- MY REVIEW
- Marry in Haste makes good use of the trope that just might be a weakness of most HR lovers which is the good ol' marriage of convenience. While on the pursuit of an infamous assassin, Major Cal finds himself the unwanted guardian of a handful of young girls. Girls, who refuse to obey his commands like good little soldiers. With a near mutiny in his hands, he finds himself proposing a marriage bargain with one of their former teachers. Except the peace and exemption he had hoped for might still be long overdue.
All in all, it's a wonderful read. I absolutely adored his young wards, how Cal and Emm finally found a strong base for their relationship and especially how they all come together to form a genuinely caring family. This looks to be a good start to another promising series by Anne Gracie. -
