![]() ![]() Charlotte is sure to get her heart broken if Madelyn isn’t there to support her.īizarre things happen to Madelyn all the time. She agrees to go only because her evil step-mother is blackmailing her into it and she wants to keep an eye on her friend Charlotte, a nice girl who has a crush on the dissolute Tristan. She is loath to go, despises the whole sordid set up and is surprised that she, with her propensity for klutziness, was included. Madelyn Haywood is, inexplicably, one of the chosen. At the end of the fortnight, a “winner” will be announced at the closing ball. Instead he intends that his younger brother Tristan marry to carry on the line and has hit upon a clever plan to find him a wife: a house party to which seven young ladies and their families have been invited for vetting. ![]() Why? I’m not sure, except that he says he’s a perfectionist, knows no woman could ever live up to his standards and so will refrain from putting some poor woman through the effort of even trying. Gabriel Devine, the Duke of Wolverest, swears he will never marry. But then I got to the world’s sappiest epilogue and that decided it. In fact, the overall feeling I had while reading the book was, “eh…” A classic “C” reaction and I was all set to go with that. I didn’t like it, that was plain enough, but I didn’t hate it either. ![]() At the Bride Hunt Ball turned out to be a difficult book to grade. ![]()
