Lord Holt Takes a Bride

Lord Holt Takes a Bride

Mating Habits of Scoundrels #1

by Vivienne Lorret

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


This new series definitely starts off with a wild ride! Lord Holt Takes a Bride introduces us to Heiress Winnifred Humphries and her friend of misfits as she prepares for her wedding to the odious Mr. Woodbine. Though in line for a Dukedom, there is no love between these two. He outright insults her figure and eating habits! Her friends devise a way to escape the wedding by leaving a sousing in a caraige outside the wedding, should she choose to bail…


Unbenounced to Beatrice, the cousin is not in the carriage, but Lord Holt (Asher) - bent on returning her to her father to receive payment upon her safe return… too bad the quick drop off turns into a 3 day adventure into the country where anything wrong that could occur, does!

Asher and Beatrice make their way to their destination and discover their true selves along the way. The character development and accompanying banter made this a real fun book to read. Each character had their faults, but you can’t help rooting for them the whole time! Asher and Beatrice against the world! 



The end was a bit far fetched, but in romanceland, it was perfect. Left me with a big smile on my face!

One complaint wold be with the devastatingly beautiful cover- throughout the book Beatrice suffers low self-esteem over her body shape. While stunning, it would have been nice to see a curvier model on the cover.

Lord Holt Takes a Bride by Vivienne Lorret is scheduled to release March 31st, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from HarperCollins Publishers, Avon Books through Edelweiss+. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
