HTML: Wife Wanted: Marital relations as necessary. Love not required nor sought... A bridal lottery seems the height of foolishness to ex-slave Caesar King, but his refusal to participate in the town council's scheme places him in a bind. He has to get married to avoid paying a high residence fine or leave the Texas territory. After losing his wife in childbirth, Caesar isn't ready for romance. A woman looking for a fresh start without any emotional strings is what he needs. Queen Esther Payne, a freeborn black from Philadelphia, has been threatened by her family for her forward-thinking, independent ways. Her family insists she marry. Her escape comes in the form of an ad. If she must marry, it will be on her terms. But her first meeting with the sinfully hot farmer proves an exciting tussle of wills that stirs her physically, intellectually, and emotionally. In the battle of sexual one-upmanship that ensues, both Caesar and Queen discover surrender can be as fulfilling as triumph. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Short, sizzling, spicy romance that has two people fighting for dominance on the first night of their marriage. A mail order bride and her groom have different ideas about what the relationship should and will be but who will prove correct is to be determined.
This novella takes place in Texas after the Civil War. The town is trying to establish and grow and thrive and I assumed it was entirely or predominately black. The hint at slavery and being free was made but the story is really about two people and how they will find true freedom together.
Thank you to NetGalley and The Wild Rose Press for the ARC – This is my honest review.
