Continuously defiant and foolhardy girl is rescued from ruin by reformed rake, pretty much sums up the book. The main characters know of each other, but have never spoken and seem to dislike one another at the beginning. However it doesn't stop Frederick Challenger from proposing marriage to Georgiana. Throughout the book Georgiana is constantly putting herself into unacceptable situations, much to the annoyance of Fred, although the other secondary characters seem to find her delightful. Between her escapades and him at the club, they actually spend very little time together. I also found the ending to be a little abrupt and rushed.
The first book in The Society for Wicked Gentlemen series, Christine Merrill’s book should as well as being the story of Georgiana and Fred, be the introduction to the characters that follow, however apart from a few conversations and mentions, there is very little which would entice me to read the next book.
5☆ Full of Charm, Passion, Forbidden secrets.
A Convenient Bride for a Soldier is the first book in The Society for Wicked Gentlemen.
It is also my first book i have read by Christine Merrill. It certainly won't be the last.
I am very excited for this new series.
A Convenient Bride for a Soldier is full of Passion, secrets, Forbidden encounters, family secrets and a Marriage of Hate/Love/Lust.
When Georgiana (George) first meets Frederick (Fred) she is being pursued by the very unsavoury character Sir Nash.
Sir Nash is George's Step-Mother's Cousin and he is after her hand in Marriage.
She despises Sir Nash, as did I.
He is very creepy and comes across as very forceful and unfaithful, and only after George's money.
Fred is one of three owners at Vitium et Virtus, the exclusive Gentleman's Club.
So when George walks in auctioning her Virginity to the highest bidder.
Fred has no other option but to rescue George from one of the biggest mistakes of her life. A lady should never enter one of these clubs, let alone auction her most sacred possession.
But how far is he willing to go to rescue George from Sir Nash?
This is where I stop delving into the exciting and enthralling plot, as I do believe it's more fun to uncover the secrets for yourself.
You won't be disappointed!
I adore George. She certainly is a minx, she is set on challenging Fred and the rules at every given chance.
She comes across as naive and innocent. But don't be fooled, George knows exactly what she is doing. She's fun, care free, A little naughty, definitely a temptress.
She is very likeable and watching her grow as a young lady was beautiful to see.
Fred came across as infuriating at times but deep down he is a softie. I loved how he battles with he's demons at every opportunity but also gives into he's softer side. Watching him change was a joy to see.
This book has lots of Passion and desires which in turn spark and sizzle at every encounter.
I loved reading this book. I was blown away by the Passion and battles between George and Fred.
I was drawn in and I didn't want it to end. I wanted to savour every moment.
Truly a beautiful read, that isn't just about sex and passion, it's about learning to love and respect each other and to make the most from a difficult situation.
It's about exploring each other's Boundaries, and testing them, it's about becoming friends, breaking rules and making new ones.
Would I recommend this book..........
............... 100% Yes!!
A perfect read for those who love Romance, Passion, Lust, Regency.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mills and Boon Insider for giving me the chance to read this gem of a book and review voluntarily.
I was bored. The pair of them to me seemed childish.
I didn't leave a review on good reads as I had nothing good to say so I thought it better to leave it blank. Sorry.
Georgiana Knight is being pushed to marry her stepmother’s cousin Nash Bowles but she learns from her maid that he’s not all he seems. So she plans to lure Bowles by visiting a secret club, but instead she’s trapped the devil himself. Ex-soldier Frederick Challenger may own a share of London’s most secret gentlemen’s club, but he has long since stopped sampling its delights…until a beautiful woman auctions her innocence.
However all good plans go awry & now George must marry Fred to protect her reputation. Fred thinks to send George to the country & they can live separate lives
A very enjoyable read, George has been criticised for so long by her stepmother Marietta that she wants to be free to be herself but Fred has lots of ‘rules’ that he wants her to abide by. Fred is so dour & rigid until he marries Gorge & she begins to worm her way into his life. The attraction between the pair is obvious from the start but it takes time before they act upon it. This was a straight forward story & I loved the way Fred finally declared himself. The verbal spats were very entertaining & added lots of humour to the book. I would have liked to have seen how George’s father dealt with his wife over the letters & feel this would have added to the story. Overall a well written delightful book, I look forward to reading the other books in the series
