The Rogue Steals a Bride by Amelia Grey
Matson Brentwood has finally met the woman of his dreams. The lovely, red-haired Sophia Hart heats his blood like no other lady. Her alluring countenance has stopped him dead in his tracks. But no matter how attracted he is to her, he can’t give into his desire to possess her in every way because she is the ward of the man he’s sworn to hate.
Newly arrived in London, Miss Sophia Hart is in need of a husband, but not for herself. She has twin, spinster aunts and one of them has decided she wants a man. Sophia agrees to help her aunt by allowing older gentlemen to call on her and then make sure Auntie spends more time in the gentleman’s company than Sophia does. But when Sophia meets the darkly handsome and intriguing Mr. Matson Brentwood, she knows that for the first time, she in danger of losing her heart.
But there’s more than just an adversarial guardian and a long list of beaus standing between Sophia and Matson. Sophia promised her dying father she would honor his lifelong plan for her as an heiress and marry a titled gentleman. Matson isn’t titled so she must deny her love for him and make up to her father for costing him the love of his life.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What an enthralling story. I have not read any of the books in this series, but it doesn't matter. This book is completely stand alone and quite the tale. It's going to be one of my faves in the historical romance genre. The dynamic twin aunt Mae and June were quite the characters. I found them silly and endearing. Matson is swoon worthy and even Sophia was such an admirable woman. This was a great tale, and if you like Historicals, I think you're going to really like this book. Each character is important and well written, the plot is juicy and hard to put down. Though it felt slow to start for me, once I got into it, I couldn't stop. I look forward to going back and reading the rest of the stories.
