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.
