Review by Library Journal Review
In her second title in "The Brides of Wishmore" series, Maxwell continues the story of Lady Tara Davidson, introduced in The Bride Says No. As that book ends, Lady Tara had run away from marriage to a man she didn't love and was heartbroken over the marriage of the love of her life to another. Now she's back at the family home trying to live down the scandal of her failed nuptials and figure out what her next steps will be. According to her father, the Earl of Tay, her only choice is to marry Breccan Campbell. Breccan has bought up all of Tay's debts, and unless Tara marries him, he will collect what is owed and send their family into penury. While Tara's initial reaction is to run away, again, she ends up making a deal with Breccan. Once she has a child, she can return to London. In the meantime, though, she will live with him at Wolfstone and perhaps fall in love? Verdict Maxwell (The Devil's Heart) is aiming to show Tara's emotional journey from a spoiled, somewhat immature young woman into an adult who has learned what love truly is. While she doesn't fully succeed, she does write with a light enough touch to appeal to fans of Julia Quinn and Sabrina Jeffries.-Jane Jorgenson, Madison P.L., WI (c) Copyright 2014.
