Emmy Harris was living with a deadline,
and few prospects. There were only three days until
Christmas, and if she didn’t find a husband by then, her
father would. As one of many guests at Abernathy Manor for
the holidays, there was still a short supply of eligible
bachelors, two to be exact. The first was Marcus Fielding,
Earl of Winchelsea, the second was Mr. Logan Abernathy, her
best friend Lizzie’s brother, the man who’d always been a
good friend of hers, and he was also the man who had broken
her heart.
Emmy decides to set her sites on Lord
Winchelsea. She knew he wouldn’t be able to hurt her as
Logan had, plus Logan wasn’t there. She hadn’t seen him
since that night when everything had changed.
Logan hadn’t planned on coming home for
the holidays, not until he learned that Emmy was being
forced to marry. Arriving home, he immediately seeks her
out, knowing that his past actions may have caused
irreparable harm to their friendship. He may not be in love
with her, but he doesn’t appreciate Marcus’ attention
towards Emmy, nor hers towards him.
Logan wants all her attention for
himself.
His Christmas Bride had two perfect qualities;
it was a Christmas-themed best-friends romance. I loved the
romance between Logan and Emmy. Logan was blinded by his
efforts of keeping things the way they’d been, that he never
realized that he and Emmy’s care for one another had grown
from mere friendship to love. I also adored all of the
secondary characters. Ms. Becher finely developed these
characters, and I would love to go back and read the story
of how Lizzie met her husband, and then have a story of the
third friend Ginger finding her own. I eagerly anticipate
additional stories by this author. |
