The Earl's Mistaken Bride by Abby Gaines
What It's About:
As soon as Marcus Brookstone lifts his bride's veil, he sees he's been tricked. He made a bargain with God—to marry a good, Christian girl if his mother recovered from illness. But Marcus intended to marry pretty Amanda, not stubborn Constance. His next plan, to ignore his new wife, fails as well when Constance makes it clear that she wants a true union. Constance Somerton doesn't dare reveal that she's been enamored of Marcus for years. The man believes love is for weaklings. Someone needs to teach him about marriage's blessings. Someone who sees beyond his arrogance to the tender heart beneath. Someone exactly like Constance....
My Thoughts:
I absolutely loved this book - I was hooked from the beginning by the plot and the characters. The heroine is strong and not a typical romantic beauty, though she's lovely in her own right. The hero is proud, but boy does he make a fool of himself for love, which I adored. There's even another love story interwoven throughout Constance and Marcus's story. This is one of those books that makes me so thrilled to be publishing with Love Inspired Historical!

Fun! That sounds like a blast of a story. Going in the ever-growing TBR pile. :)
It sounds really cool. Thanks for sharing. You had me at the hero making "a fool out of himself for love." Hehe! Love it!

I loved this book too! I thought it paid a little homage to Leah over Rachel...or maybe that's just me. ;-)
