For me， the best part of romance stories is the sexual tension that has a pay off only after you've come to care about the characters。 On the other side of the spectrum are the many， many contemporary romances competing for attention in a glutted market by serving up so many steamy scenes that the reader is desensitized and finds none of it arousing。 "My Darling Bride" falls into that second category。 For me， the best part of romance stories is the sexual tension that has a pay off only after you've come to care about the characters。 On the other side of the spectrum are the many， many contemporary romances competing for attention in a glutted market by serving up so many steamy scenes that the reader is desensitized and finds none of it arousing。 "My Darling Bride" falls into that second category。 。。。more

Wonderful marriage of convenience I loved this book！ Very enjoyable story。 It was such a fun read。 It was nice to see discussion on the dangers of playing professional football not a typical topic in a romance novel。

OK read， but lots of lying and withholding as part of the fake marriage。 Got a little tedious。

Lacks depth。 Author skipped over developing an emotional connection between the main characters。

Okay … borderline contrived， but I like how all the life events in Graham’s and Emmy’s separate existences （and dream moments， hint， hint） turned out to be the universe bringing them together。 Love’s *magic*！I appreciate how neither brought up the fact that they each jumped to conclusions when they saw the other with their ex-es （he learned about a photographer catching Emmy & Kian outside the bookstore， Emmy came upon Graham and Divina at what was supposed to be a family reception for Graham & Okay … borderline contrived， but I like how all the life events in Graham’s and Emmy’s separate existences （and dream moments， hint， hint） turned out to be the universe bringing them together。 Love’s *magic*！I appreciate how neither brought up the fact that they each jumped to conclusions when they saw the other with their ex-es （he learned about a photographer catching Emmy & Kian outside the bookstore， Emmy came upon Graham and Divina at what was supposed to be a family reception for Graham & Emmy’s wedding）， when they each confronted the other about their respective encounters。 。。。more

i wish i could articulate exactly what it is with this book that didn't work 。。 it was missing some magic that this author's writing and this trope can bring。。 there were also too many things going on both with the main couple and with the side characters too。。 well， I can't win them all I guess。。 i wish i could articulate exactly what it is with this book that didn't work 。。 it was missing some magic that this author's writing and this trope can bring。。 there were also too many things going on both with the main couple and with the side characters too。。 well， I can't win them all I guess。。 。。。more

BLAH。 This had so much potential but it just never came together…even at the end。 The pacing and development just felt wrong。 And there was so much unnecessary focus on the smaller storylines of the book。 I’ve liked this author in this past， but this is a skip IMO。

3。3 stars。 I didn’t really believe the romance。 Seemed the main characters didn’t spend enough time together for any love to bloom。

This story was cute。 Fake marriage that turns achingly real for her pretty fast， it takes him no time at all to give into his physical attraction to her but it takes him nearly the entire book to realize that he loves her deeply and needs to give his heart to her to keep her。Once he realizes that and he slowly makes things up to her for pushing her away their relationship is truly beautiful。 The scene in the bookstore when he gives her back her rings was so sweet！ I love how he made the proposal This story was cute。 Fake marriage that turns achingly real for her pretty fast， it takes him no time at all to give into his physical attraction to her but it takes him nearly the entire book to realize that he loves her deeply and needs to give his heart to her to keep her。Once he realizes that and he slowly makes things up to her for pushing her away their relationship is truly beautiful。 The scene in the bookstore when he gives her back her rings was so sweet！ I love how he made the proposal there just for them also。 One thing I didn’t really like was how this book was mostly her POV The narrators were Sebastian York and Savannah Peachwood。They fit the characters of this story perfectly。 I am very much looking forward to Jasper and Jane’s story though！ He’s a little bit playboy and a whole lot sweetheart and he already knows how to get under her skin lol 。。。more

Good story。This book has some entertaining scenes。 Especially the one where Emmy and Graham meet the first time with cowboy Clint。 You do know that she’s the girl from his accident because she fits the description。
