The Earl's Forsaken Bride: Scottish Historical Romance (A Laird to Love Book 5) by Tammy Andresen is yet another well written, quick paced Regency romance by this author. While, this is book 5 in this amazing series, it can be read as a stand alone. A very sweet, romantic read with a touch of mystery, lots of interest, emotional entanglements and love. Finding love out of necessity is not always an easy path.
Loved the characters, they are realistic, flawed, and engaging. Genuine, humorous at times, will definitely put a smile on your face at times, unpredictable, with an interesting storyline. I was held captive by both the characters and the romance. Ms. Andresen always puts a smile on my face, takes me to another place and era in time. Definitely easy to get list in one of her stories. Fans of romance, Regency, strong but flawed characters, and interesting storylines are sure to enjoy THE EARL'S FORSAKEN BRIDE. ( )

What a perfectly delicious pairing of two perfectly lovely, perfectly delectable, perfectly flawed and perfectly perfect for each other people. This is a very short, but very sweet novella.

He has returned from the wars in India. He is scarred both inside and outside and doesn’t think he can ever give anyone love. He wants an amiable wife who is mature enough to understand his dark moods without swooning. He can’t abide the idea of the empty-headed swooning debutants he’s seen. He needs a wife who understands pain and suffering.

She is a ruined woman. Her father, an earl, took his own life rather than going to debtors prison. That left his daughter at the mercy of the world. She ended up living up with a very poor spinster aunt and taking in laundry in order for them to survive. Now, her aunt is ill and she doesn’t have the funds to see to her care. What will she do?

When Lady Elizabeth Chase returned to their small cottage after picking up laundry to wash, there was a very large, fine carriage at the door. Elizabeth has learned to be very wary in the last two years and there is absolutely no reason at all that there should be a carriage at her door. She hangs back where they can’t see her, but her aunt is ill within the cottage and she has to go in. Then, as she approaches, there is a man in her flower bed looking in through the windows. As he turns, she steps back and then another man walks around from behind the cottage. She’s alarmed, wary and feels trapped. The second man identifies himself as Laird Ewan McDougal a cousin from her mother’s side of the family. The first man, Lord Callum Tate, Earl of Blackwood has come to ask her to marry him.

This is a sweet and passionate story with lovely, and flawed characters. Their journey to an HEA is lovely and uplifting. If you want to read a book where you’ll be smiling and feeling very happy at the end, then this one is for you.
