“You came.” It was barely more than a whisper, and God help him, he couldn’t read anything in it, couldn’t tell if it was shock or disbelief or condemnation or something else that flavored her voice, and ultimately the only reply he could make was the simple truth, a promise as much as an assertion.

“Always,” he said. “I’ll always come for you.”

★★★★½ The audiobook was very well narrated by Justine Eyre; I’ll be looking for more with her reading.

I totally loved this second in the Braxton series featuring headstrong heroine, Genisse Braxton, oldest child to Harry & Diz, and dangerous expatriate, Jim Owen. I love a good “road trip” as well as a good “masquerade” – so this was a “two-fer” – with tons of fun and action to boot.

Ginesse Braxton is an original. Intelligent with an impish penchant for getting into trouble, she had been banished long ago to an English boarding school education- for her own safety- by parents whose reputations in Egyptian Archaeology are larger than life. Still she’s determined to make her own way- and prove to everyone she’s more than her name AND her trouble making standing!

This is a sequel to As You Desire, another book that I really enjoyed. It is also one of those books that you find on many people's "favorite HR" lists. I think The Other Guy's Bride was every bit as charming, swoon-worthy, and fun as As You Desire. In both books the heroines are impetuous and trouble-ridden. I love watching their respective heroes try to chase them down and keep them out of trouble.

An altogether fun and light read.

This book had 2 things working against it right away: the title isn't fantastic (the use of the word "guy's" wasn't really time/setting appropriate) and the cover isn't one that really evokes excitement to pick this story over all the gazillions of other historical romances out there.

I think this book suffers in that it is the “sequel” to As You Desire. I adored As You Desire, and this novel just didn’t live up to it. The heroine, Ginesse Braxton is Harry and Dizzy’s daughter, which is an interesting background – she’s the only daughter of a family of famed Egyptologists and has a chip on her shoulder about prove herself worthy in the field by her own efforts and not just due to her family’s reputation.

At the start of the book, Ginesse impetuously throws herself into masquerading as Mildred Whimplehall in order to get escorted to the remote outpost where Mildred’s fiancé Colonel Lord Pomfrey is posted – which just happens to be nearby where Ginesse thinks the ancient lost city of Zerzura is. Pomfrey has somewhat inexplicably consigned his fiancée’s safety traveling across the Egyptian desert to a known scoundrel, Jim Owens. Jim Owens (who is obviously the hero) is an interesting character, and his initial handling of Ginesse is fascinating… but I really wish Brockway hadn’t fallen into the romance cliché of making him a Duke in hiding. It is completely unnecessary, and unbelievable. Having both the hero and heroine pretending to be people they’re not is a bit absurd, especially since neither of which have really compelling reasons, in my opinion.

I found the story very uneven – the beginning was quite amusing, full of interesting characters and witty dialogue. The initial set-up of the romance is fun – I like watching Ginesse manage things to her own satisfaction. She’s supposed to be inquisitive and impulsive, and that’s how she acts and what she does. Jim’s supposedly done a number of dastardly things, but mostly we see his commitment to rescue Ginesse from the various predicaments she tumbles into (and it’s an ongoing joke that she’s a trouble-magnet!) and to discharge the debt he owes Pomfrey. However, once they’re actually traveling across the desert it’s all very predictable – lots and lots of lusting. Even in incredibly inappropriate circumstances. Having Jim rescue Ginesse from rape at the hands of slavers seemed unnecessarily cliché, and gratuitous as far as the actual plot goes.

The resolution of the romance also left me rather unsatisfied. What is it with romance heroines turning down the proposals of men they love because they don’t wait to hear the fellow actually say the words “I love you”?!? This “big misunderstanding” was stupid (in my opinion) and due solely to Ginesse not taking the time to listen. Granted, Jim wasn’t being terribly articulate… but still – much ado about nothing. One good thing about the resolution is that over the course of the book Ginesse comes to realize that Egyptology is not the love of her life – it’s her families’ obsession, but it’s not hers. The slow steps she takes to come to this discovery (which is separate from her feelings for Jim) are believable and allow me to understand her ultimate decision to give up the search for Zerzura.

I love romance books. You always know what you are going to get; the delicious internal struggles of an awkward woman and rugged man who fight and doubt their burning passions for one another until they both snap and rip each other's clothes off. Throw in a dash of plot, a pinch of insecurity, a cup of sexual tension and stir in meddling families, physical danger and, of course, boners and you've got yourself a romance.

Connie Brockway is a well-known name in romance (she's won the RWA's Rita award twice) but she hasn't been on the radar much in the last few years. That all changed when she announced that she was going to go digital and write the books readers have been asking for (chief amongst them sequels to As You Desire and All Through the Night). Her initial announcement, that she was going to go ebook only, drew cheers and some boos however. The boos, or more precisely sighs, came from readers who hadn't yet made the jump into digital. The day was saved by Amazon (ironically enough) who announced their new print line of romances under the Montlake imprint - Brockway's The Other Guy's Bride was going to be one of their innaugural authors.

The opening paragraph of TOGB was a good indicator of the book to come:

1897, The Sahara Desert, Sudan
"Join the Foreign Legion" the dirt-and blood-stained young man muttered, jamming a cartridge into his rifle's magazine. "If you die, that'll make her sorry, by God." He dug another cartridge out from the bottom of his kit, ramming it alongside its fellow. "Only one problem: you'll be dead a lot longer than she'll be sorry, jackass."

That's the hero Jim Owens speaking. He does survive his time in the Foreign Legion but he comes away from the experience a world-weary, cynical man. One determined to never let a woman control his actions again. Eight years later he's still living by that credo. Until he agrees to fulfill a debt of honor and meets Miss Mildred Whimpelhall.

Jim is supposed to meet Mildred in Cairo and accompany her to the military outpost run by her fiance, Colonel Lord Pomfroy. Years ago Pomfroy was instrumental in saving Jim's life. Now Jim has a chance to repay the favor. The fly in the ointment is the woman herself. She's nothing like the mild, well-mannered woman the Colonel describes. She's outspoken and prone to disaster and Jim can't stop thinking about her - much to his chagrin. The reason for the disconnect? The woman traveling across the desert with Jim is not Mildred Whimpelhall. She is Ginesse Braxton, the daughter of renowned archaeologists Harry and Dizzy Braxton (of As You Desire).

Ginesse met Mildred on the boat from England and when Mildred was too seasick to continue by water, Ginesse decided to take her place. Ginesse has worked hard to prove herself as an archaeogist in her own right. She is determined to be the first to discover a lost Egyptian city and show that she is worthy of the name Braxton. What she doesn't count on is falling for the "ruffian" who thinks she belongs to some other guy.

For most of her life Ginny has been known for the disasters that follow her. Ginny doesn't court disaster, they just happen. Jim is the first person to accept that aspect of her personality. When Ginny picks up a rock and reveals a yellow scorpion underneath, Jim simply draws his gun and shoots it before she even knows it's there (very funny scene btw). There's chemistry and wit on every page which made the book a delight. And if I could have wished for anything more, it would have been a larger presence by Ginny's family (since so much of what she's doing is in reaction to them). Quibble aside, I'm thrilled that Brockway was able to finally write the book she wanted. I look forward to what comes next. (less)

She's an intelligent girl, curious about everything, and mocked by all because her adventurous spirit has led her into several broken bones, some temper-filled conversations, and even the destruction of a very valuable ancient papyrus document. Now she's on her way to Egypt to find the lost city of Zerzura, but what she will do on her own there defies the imagination since this is 1897 when women are not expected to "do" but to "be" for their male partners/husbands. Trust Ginesse to come up with a very clever idea, to take the place of Ms. Whimpelhall, who is traveling to meet and wed her fiance, a British officer. Ms. Whimpelhall is quite seasick and says she cannot abide another trip at sea, so she asks Ginesse to take a letter to her fiance stating that she will make the rest of the journey by train. Everything seems to be falling into place so very nicely for Ginesse, that is until she actually arrives in Egypt and meets the man who will be accompanying her across the formidable Sahara desert.

Jim Owen is not whom he seems. Ginesse thinks he is the proverbial cowboy and a rather smelly, rude, and crude one at that. Yet despite their constant clashes, they are drawn to each other, which stands them both in good stead as both are avoiding people they know. If they were to meet these significant other people, disaster would strike for sure, wouldn't it? Or perhaps the two of them together are enough to invite troubles galore! Yes, these troubles are both hilarious, annoying, and very dangerous.

In the process of their travels, Ginesse and Jim get to know each other - that is, in their false identities. But little by little, revelations will unfold, and love will blossom but not until they both have to surmount more secrets and revelations that only the exotic Egyptian past can reveal to those who seek without fear. Jim is quite an unusual and special guy when all is said and done! Passion galore will flow and end in a lovely but surprising end for this stormy, feisty couple!

Nicely plotted story, Ms. Brockway - there's enough complexity and turns of the story to keep any reader avidly turning the pages. Fine romantic fiction!(less)

I know there are a lot you out there like me, who wanted more after reading the last word of AS YOU DESIRE. We wished, we asked, there was even begging and pleading, bribes offered and maybe even a few threats made (that’s not a confession).
Our efforts have not gone in vain.
Ginesse Braxton, daughter of Harry and Dizzy Braxton, is returning home to Egypt from England where she was banished to boarding school for her own safety. She has a colorful history of reckless, impulsive incidents that got her into trouble and kept her there for most of her life. She’s a calamity and known as much for that as for being a Braxton. She used her time away studying, earning a degree in ancient studies. While working for one of her professors, she made a discovery that if it is as she suspects, will led her to the fabled lost city of Zerzura. Zerzura would be the archaeological find of the century, certainly of a lifetime. Finding the Lost City will make her career. And, Ginesse believes, finally make her worthy of the illustrious Braxton name. All she has to do is get there, the middle of desert with men and supplies and without the aid of her family.
Ginesse meets Mildred Whimpelhall, fiancée to Colonel Lord Pomfrey while on the journey home. Ginesse gets to know the lady and by extension, her fiancé. When the opportunity to temporarily take up Mildred's identity presents itself Ginny simply can’t refuse. She knows that it was meant to be. Mildred is to be met by Jim Owens, the man sent by the colonel to escort her across the desert. Ginesse has learned all about Jim Owens, ruffian cowboy and intimate acquaintance of desert scoundrels, from the letter Mildred carries with her. Ginesse’s romantic and impulsive nature sees this only as an adventure, the way to get closer to finding the lost city.
James "Jim" Owens is repaying an old debt that's been hanging over his head for years when he agrees to escort Mildred Whimpelhall to her fiancé. Jim is a gentleman, even if he doesn’t bear a title. He has his own code of honor and just because his reputation points to a “disreputable, morally questionable, possibly criminal, artifacts dealer and gun-for-hire” doesn’t mean he won’t follow it. His sense of honor and his ego demand repayment of the debt no matter what it takes.
The “Mildred” Jim meets in the train station isn’t all what he expected, not the sort of woman he expects the colonel to make his wife. She’s impulsive, romantically inclined, opinionated and independent. And she just can’t stay out of trouble. Protecting her from harm becomes second nature for him. He’s lived in self-imposed exile for years and time spent with “Mildred” as they travel into the desert makes him start to question that choice.
Jim’s job should be simple. Get Mildred to her fiancé, safe and sound. Falling in love with her isn’t honorable but he just can’t help himself. Jim has secrets of his own and he’s within in mere months of making that long ago deal permanent. He hasn’t missed what he gave up all those years ago until now, when he sees what it means that he has nothing to offer Mildred, even if she were free to accept. That’s just beginning of the adventure because the path to true love and lost cities in never straightforward, never so clearly and easily defined. If it is, you better believe there are some detours and disasters and a few bad guys along the way.
THE OTHER GUY’S BRIDE is very much about expectations. For Ginny and Jim, it is about the expectations imposed on them by family, by society but most importantly, the ones they’ve imposed on themselves. Each has a clear cut idea of who and what they should be, of who and what the other person is. Both are determined to meet those expectations regardless of any doubts they have or even what either of them really want.
For the reader, the expectations are for a story and characters you can love as much or more than the ones that came before. Ms. Brockway has given us that story and it’s full of twists and turns, adventure, witty dialogue and humor. Oh, the humor.
Having THE OTHER GUY’S BRIDE is so much better than wanting it. Ms. Brockway has gone home again, just to a different house in the neighborhood. This is a sequel worth waiting for and worthy of its predecessor. This story is so much fun, such a good a time. THE OTHER GUY’S BRIDE is a treat you owe to yourself. Indulge.(less)

She is also the daughter of two famous archaeologists and has six younger brothers. She is just returning to Egypt after spending some years in an English finishing school and attending university. She believes that she has discovered the location of a long-lost, ancient city and hopes finding it will make her feel worthy of her distinguished family. She knows that her family won't let her go off exploring on her own. So she switches places with a woman who is on her way to marry her fiance who just happens to be in command of a British fort right where Ginesse wants to be.

The Colonel has provided an escort for his fiance in the person of Jim Owens who happens to owe him a favor. The Colonel saved Jim's life and left him indebted to him. While Jim is a shady character, he is determined to pay off his debt and escort the Colonel's fiance to him. However, Jim takes one look at Ginesse and is immediately attracted. The attraction only grows as he rescues her from a variety of perilous situations. Ginesse is also attracted to him or, at least, her perceived version of him. She sees him as a cowboy who is rough around the edges but has a core of honor.

Jim is in Egypt to get lost. He is on the run from a home life that never made him happy or satisfied. He wants to be declared dead so that his beloved, younger, half-brother will inherit. But it turns out that his younger brother has other plans. He doesn't want Jim's inheritance and has been looking for him for two years. Also, he is an archaeologist that Ginesse worked for when she made her discovery. She thinks of him as a stuffy male who is trying to steal her discovery. He thinks he is in love with her.

The story is filled with humor, misunderstandings, the failure of the hero and heroine to communicate, and some really hot romance. I got swept away in the story and finished it with a big smile on my face. I recommend this one to anyone who enjoys historical romances. (less)

"As You Desire" is one of the classic historical romances. If that's one of your favorites and you pick this up thinking to relive it, this sequel will disappoint. The story does follow "As You Desire's" Harry and Dizzy's eldest, Ginesse Braxton. First, I have to say, "Harry, WTF, where's the love for Dizzy!" Ginesse is the oldest of 8=E.I.G.H.T. offspring. They have birth control methods in the Victorian era, you know. And, really, practicing that would extend Dizzy's lifespan.

On the other hand, given the adventuress that Dizzy is, perhaps pregnancy and childbirth was Harry's way of extending Dizzy's life.

So, on to The Other Guy's Bride. Ginesse is, like her parents, an adventuress, and is also somehow a trouble and calamity magnet. Like, literally. From relatively harmless luggage getting lost to ships running aground, sandstorms, cave-ins, etc . . . She gets sent away to boarding school because she accidentally started a fire in one of Harry's digs.

A grown woman now, Ginesse discovers clues to a lost Egyptian city while being a research assistant to a university professor in England. She decides to find this city by herself, thereby earning her name (instead of being endowed by being born a Braxton) as an archaeologist/ancients scholar.

On board the ship she meets Mildred Whimpelhall, a proper English lady who is to meet her fiancee at a fort in Egypt. Mildred is to meet an "American cowboy" named Jim Owens in Cairo, who will be her guide in the desert. When Mildred is too ill to keep traveling via water, Ginesse takes on her identity, solving her dilemma of how to get to the site of where she thinks the lost city is.

On the way to Mildred's fiancee, Ginesse and Jim fall in love. Of course, Jim thinks he has fallen for "The Other Guy's Bride," while Jim himself is not all who he pretends to be. Jim has his internal conflict (i.e. why is he this cowboy with occasional British accent, in the middle of Egypt), and Ginesse has hers. Then there's the external conflicts: they meet Indiana Jones and The Mummy style misadventures.

The external conflicts are thrilling and entertaining . . . what a ride! Way more entertaining than the movies, by the way. And there was a lot of humor on this caper, too. However, the internal conflicts were really unattractive (to me) and just seemed too contrived. Ginesse is too enmeshed in her fantasy world, Jim in his own insecurities, that I don't find myself convinced in their HEA.

As for the narration itself, this is my first listen to Justine Eyre. Her performance was not stellar, but it didn't bother me either. I appreciated her distinctions in accent: she would put on just the right amount of Yank and Western drawl for Jim, just the right snotty British accents for Mildred and Colonel Lord Pomfrey, the diluted tones for Egyptians who went to English schools, etc. I had no trouble hearing who was talking. It must be a mark of how excellent audiobooks have gotten (and how spoiled I've become) that I write here that the narration is not stellar.

It didn't feel like I was reading some cheesy-thrown-together-in-5-minutes book at all. In fact, I enjoyed that the author used words that you don't typically see in novels today -- nothing strange, just a little bit higher vocabulary than I'm used to seeing with modern books. I had to look up a few definitions - sure, context helps me figure it out no problem, but the Kindle makes it oh, so easy, to get the definition - and I liked that. I didn't notice any major mistakes that would make my eye twitch, either; just one spot where our heroine is referred to by the wrong name, that was a little confusing. But overall the book went very quickly and was enjoyable.

Yes, this was graphic. On two accounts, but for those sensitive to that, it should be easy to skip that and not miss anything.

I also didn't know, until after I'd rented this, that it was #2 in a series. I typically hate reading books out of order, but this one was able to stand on its own. I didn't feel as if I was missing part of the story or coming late to the party.

Now for spoilers.

One thing I was a little disappointed in was the lack of closure on a few characters. I mean, we get that Mildred would have gone through with her marriage to What's-His-Face, but what happened? Was she happy in the middle of the fictional desert? What about Jock? I mean, that was a big issue there. Jock had asked Genisse to marry him, so what, he goes on his merry way completely happy to later find out that his brother "had" her both before and after that and would marry her instead of him? Just seems like the author could have at least added a piece to the epilogue or that last chapter that said hey, we went and told Jock and this was his reaction... Of course, he was so enamored with Big Brother that he probably would have been hurt but have gotten over it quickly. I would have liked to see him in the epilogue and at least mention he'd found a love interest of his own. I kinda kept thinking maybe he'd end up with Mildred, heehee.(less)

You just know how things are going to turn out. But fortunately, Connie Brockway manages to make it work. She has a great handle on humour and that makes all the difference in the world for this kind of plot.

Ginesse Braxton is the daughter of Harry and Desdemona from As You Desire (links to my review). As the daughter of such well known archaeologists, Ginesse wants to make a name for herself, her other siblings have done so and she just wants her time to shine. Unfortunately, Ginesse attracks trouble like honey to a bee and she's been exiled to England for her safety. But while there, she did research on the lost city Zerzura and she's positive she found the location of this hidden. So positive she jumps on the next ship to Egypt...er, the next ship that gets her on the path to Egypt. While aboard, she meets Mildred Whimpelhall, a very proper Englishwoman on her way to Egypt to marry her beloved. Her path is all laid out, but she's horribly seasick. So Ginesse helps Mildred off at the next dock and arranges her travel to Egypt overland...but she takes Mildred's place back on the ship!

Ginesse is a great character. She's fearless, clueless and guileless (assuming someone else's identity notwithstanding lol). She just wants a chance to prove herself alongside her famous family but everyone tries to stifle her. Not anymore! And that trouble-magnet thing I mentioned? Check out the way someone described Ginesse:

“A djinn may change her appearance, but its nature stays the same: meddlesome, disruptive, and dangerous. You will see. Look for someone with a broken arm or in bloodstained clothing. Ginesse Braxton is sure to be trailing right behind.”

So true!!

Ginesse makes her way to Egypt where she is picked up by Jim - a man who owes Mildred's fiancé a favor. He is to escort her to her beloved, across the desert. He's not supposed to fall in love with his charge. But that's exactly what happens. But the outcome isn't completely predictable here. Yes Jim gets upset when he realizes that Ginesse is not really Mildred. But then that means she can be his! Of course things aren't that easy but you're going to have to read it to find out what happens.

I mentioned the humour before and that we get in spades. Because Ginesse, while in England, was working for someone who didn't believe her about Zerzura. But when she leaves abruptly, they start to look over her research and follow her! Also, there's Ginesse's family in Egypt...who are looking for her. LOL The overall tone of the book was fun but when we need it to be, we get that emotion we're craving, and the depth. *sigh* I really can't go on anymore about how much I enjoyed this book. I liked it more than As You Desire and I highly recommend it. I'm giving The Other Guy's Bride a 4.75 out of 5.

And I'm going to leave you with this gem of a passage. It cracks me up, every time.

They locked him in the stockade for four days. No other prisoners occupied the other cells that ran the length of the room. He was alone, and that was fine with him. He needed to think, and that was best done in a place where he wouldn’t see Ginesse Braxton—Ginesse, not Mildred—because she did things to his thought processes, such as dammed them up completely.
She acted and he reacted: viscerally, irrepressibly, and ruinously.
She fell in the water; he dove in after her. She laughed; he smiled. She mentioned the beauty of the sunset; he saw colors in it he hadn’t ever noticed. She peeked at him from under her gold-tipped lashes; he grew hard as Damascus steel. Pomfrey said something derogatory; he wanted to kill the sonofabitch with his bare hands.
Things like that.

I wish I could be unbiased and judge this novel solely on its own merits, but unfortunately I read As You Desire too recently for that to be possible. I can't help comparing The Other Guy's Bride to its predecessor, and find it wanting.

On the plus side, I prefer the sharply intelligent and independent Ginesse to her plucky but somewhat ditzy mother, Desdemona. Unfortunately, Jim Owens is a poor man's Harry Braxton. I wanted to fall madly in love with Jim the way I did with Harry, but I couldn't. Jim's angst doesn't feel as legitimate, nor are the reasons for it as well-developed as the reasons behind Harry's insecurity. I also don't find Jim's abrupt passion for Ginesse as believable as Harry's secret, long-term desire for Desdemona.

In terms of the plot, I found the "big misunderstanding" theme more annoying in this book than in As You Desire. It was easier to believe that an innocent, absent-minded, and slightly clueless girl like Desdemona didn't realize that Harry was falling-all-over-himself-in-love with her than it was to believe that a more modern and supposedly keen-eyed young woman like Ginesse could ignore the numerous, obvious signs that Jim was devoted to her. If a man showed half as much ardor for me, I'd be walking the aisle faster than you can say "special license."

There were a few other things about the plot that I found too convenient, or poorly developed. (view spoiler) I also didn't like the cutesy ending. I am usually anti-epilogue, and this is definitely one example of a romance novel that would have been better without the epilogue.

Finally, I noticed a few continuity and typographical errors. That is pretty common for ebooks, but as the first novel published under the Montlake imprint, I think this book warranted better editing.

In spite of the detractions listed above, The Other Guy's Bride is still superior to most historical romance novels I've read. I still enjoy Connie Brockway's writing and look forward to reading more by her in the future.(less)

Well, fans, the time has come, and it was worth the wait!

Ginesse "Ginny" Braxton is traveling from England to Egypt, a country she knows like the back of her hand thanks to being the daughter of famous Egyptologist, Harry Braxton. But Ginesse longs to make a name for herself, not just ride on the coattails of her famous family. She also wants to prove she's not the jinx and magnet for trouble that everyone says she is, and she's found the perfect way; she thinks she has found the location of the lost city of Zerzura. Of course, she needs to find someone to lead her across the desert, and Ginesse knows full well that no one will want to accompany the Braxton chit. Fate presents a situation that she cannot resist; a young woman, Mildred Whimpelhall, who is a passenger on the ship with Ginesse is on her way to meet her fiance, Colonel Lord Pomfrey. Mildred is so seasick that she decides to get off the ship in Italy and continue her journey to Egypt by rail. Ginesse kindly makes Mildred's arrangements for her, but unbeknownst to the trusting Mildred, Ginesse decides to assume her identity and travel to Fort Gordon, which is within thirty miles of Zerzura. It was all too perfect. Ginesse should have known better.

James "Jim" Owen is a tough adventurer who owes a debt to Colonel Lord Pomfrey, so he agrees to accompany Pomfrey's fiancee across the desert to Fort Gordon. Not what Jim considers high on his list of ways to have a good time, but a debt is a debt. After all, Jim has been in many a dangerous situation, so providing escort to a meek and mild English miss should be a walk in the park. Once he meets Mildred Whimpelhall----aka known as Ginesse Braxton---, that notion goes straight out the window. She is anything, but meek. In fact, she talks nonstop and is a veritable magnet for trouble. But the biggest problem for Jim is his attraction to her. She frustrates and fascinates him, and no matter how many times he tells himself that she belongs to another man, thereby making her off limits, he just can't resist her.

"Colonel Lord Pomfrey. You never use his given name." he was looking down into her upturned face, moonlight carving his into hard angles and cold planes.

"Of course I know it," she said, trying to sound convincing because in truth she did not remember Pomfrey's Christian name.

"Because if you were mine, I would want you to say it, even when I was not there." He was so close she felt his warm breath sluice over her lips, so close she could see the way his lashes tangled at the corners, so close she could see flecks of sand at the base of his throat. His gaze had turned smoky and brilliant all at once, with an intensity she'd never seen before. It made the breath catch in her throat and her heart race.

Fool that she was, even though she intuited that danger roved very near and that she ought to keep very still and very silent, she could not keep from whispering, "Why?"

"Because every time you said my name, it would touch your lips." His voice lost its hard edge, grew as dark and smoky as his gaze. "Like a kiss."

The Other Guy's Bride is a rollicking romance, a turn-of-the-century adventure with a high spirited, mismatched hero and heroine with secrets aplenty. Their banter is reminiscent of some of my favorite movie pairs: John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, and Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. Throw in a little Indiana Jones, and it all adds up to a can't miss good time. Connie Brockway has a deft hand with humor, and I laughed out loud more times than I could count. There is an equal amount of soul stirring tenderness and heart pounding sensuality. All of the elements for a winning romance. I cannot recommend The Other Guy's Bride highly enough! For those who do not have a Kindle, don't despair. It will be released in trade paperback on December 22nd. Just in time for the holidays. *g*

I’m a bit embarrassed to admit this, but I’d never read any of Ms. Brockway’s books before I won this copy of The Other Guy’s Bride through the Goodreads First Reads program. I’m guessing that means my romance reader membership card will be revoked or at the very least suspended, because she is quite the powerhouse! So I was really excited to read this book, first, because I’d heard so many good things about Ms. Brockway’s writing, and, second, because this is the first book released by Amazon’s new romance imprint, Montlake Romance. The ebook version of this book was released on November 22, but the print version is now available through Amazon as well. I’m curious to see how well the book will sell, since the print version won’t be available in warehouse stores, and I have no idea if it’ll be on the shelves at Barnes & Noble, either. If sales are not stellar, it certainly won’t reflect the quality of the book, because The Other Guy’s Bride is an engaging romp. In fact, my only criticism of the book has more to do with decisions made by the publisher than the actual book itself.

Our heroine, Ginesse Braxton, is determined to make a name for herself among her Egyptologist relatives and is making her way to Egypt to look for the lost city of Zerzura. She assumes the identity of mild-mannered Mildred Whimpelhall, whose fiancé is stationed out in the middle of nowhere, conveniently located close to where Ginesse believes Zerzura to be located. The hero, Jim Owens, is escorting Miss Whimpelhall to her fiancé, never realizing that the fiery, accident-prone Miss Whimpelhall is in fact the infamous Ginesse Braxton. Of course, Jim Owens is not exactly the rough and tough American cowboy he’s pretending to be either. As the two make their way to “Mildred’s” fiancé and the inevitable discovery, sparks fly between them.

This is a delightful romance, and I love the Egyptian setting! Ginesse reminds me of Elizabeth Peters’s Amelia Peabody in her love of all things Egyptian and stalwart refusal to accept being treated as less than capable merely because she’s a woman. And like Amelia Peabody, Ginesse attracts all sorts of disaster, seemingly without trying. Despite her penchant for catastrophe, Ginesse never approaches Too Stupid To Live territory; all of her escapades are undertaken after careful thought. Unfortunately, something always manages to go wrong, and you will wonder how she ever made it to the ripe old age of 21, since we learn that she’s found herself in similar circumstances on a regular basis since the age of 6.

Jim Owens is also a really appealing hero, trying with no success to fight his attraction to this irrepressible heroine. His past makes for intriguing possibilities for the future of the couple, and it’s easy to see that he’s the ideal hero for Ginesse, as he manages to save her life and avoid strangling her with his bare hands. All of this adds up to a charming romance that’s a pleasure to read.

My one complaint about the text has to do with the conclusion. Ginesse is supposedly so motivated to make her mark on Egyptology that she’s willing to pose as another woman, yet at the end she seems willing, if not eager, to accept a different role. I would have liked more explanation for this seemingly abrupt change.

However, this is a minor criticism, as I very much enjoyed the book and will certainly reread it. My biggest complaints have to do with the cover art and size of the printed book, both of which are decisions made by the publisher. I’m really not enamored of the cover, to put it mildly. The colors aren’t particularly striking and the female on the cover looks a little young. I do think the image appears better in the print version than the ebook, but either way I’m not a fan of the cover. Also, the print book is about the size of a trade paperback. I really think that the mass market paperback size would have been easier for the reader to handle and perhaps easier to distribute. The print version felt a little bit too “print on demand” for my taste, leaving me to wonder how many printed copies of the book will sell.

That said, I like that the book is available in print and electronic versions. I’m certainly going to be checking out Ms. Brockway’s backlist, as this book was enchanting.(less)

I love Connie Brockway so very, very much. Her characters are delightfully human, and grow throughout the story.

ETA: After reading this book, I went back and re-read "As You Desire." There were parallels I had forgotten, and upon the re-read both books were even better.

However, the main reason you should read this book is for Chapter thirty-six. My god….chapter thirty-six. I didn’t realize how all the adventure, emotions, and feelings were working together to create such a scene, but my now overflowing heart is grateful. (sidenote: the um, action in Ch.36, I refuse to say more in order not to ruin it, is a tad similar and reminiscent of another book’s ending scene. Different setting but in the same idea, pulled me a little tiny bit out of the story as I thought back to that other book (I rated that book five stars, the only hint I’m giving) )

Read this book because there are sooooo many mediocre, regency ball saturated (I love this timeperiod! But I love took time, well written regency ball romances more) romance books out there that, trust me, you need to read this adventure romance where Brockway writes her characters so well they lose the title of character and become people (I hope you know what I mean) to cleanse your palate.

By the bye I didn’t rate this 5stars because there were tiny little slow moments and too many added in plot points (Brockway you had great characters you didn’t need the other hubbub of what turned out to be forgettable and pointless nemesis of Jim and the late love triangle), some instances where the actions/emotions were too similar to the prequel (I read the series back to back so it was fresh in my mind), and as much as I loved Jim and Ginny they didn’t quite have the superior spark that makes me want to read five star couples over and over. Oh and you should read “As You Desire” prequel to this one so you fully understand why Ginesse is the way she is. Her parents Harry and Dizzy are the stars of that show.

Connie, you have been one of my favorite authors ever since I found your McLairen's Isle books at my local grocery store when I was a teenager. As You Desire is quite possibly my FAVORITE romance novel, largely because of the scene where Harry takes offense at (Blake?) calling Dizzy a "damned English Rose" and completely blows him out of the water with his speech about Dizzy being his Egypt, his Nile, his hot humid desert, and his oasis.

I’d like to give kudos to the book for the cover, it isn’t by any means wonderful or anything, but there’s something in it that made me pause and sigh, the woman is amazingly beautiful there and-well, I just loved the cover!

It’s quite fascinating to find myself in a quest for a lost-city in Egypt, and more, engage in a complicating romance between Ginesse and Jim,.. These 2 characters are annoying sometimes, but totally lovable..I find myself saying to both of them to finally wake up and be themselves..:D… The heroine is feisty, outspoken, stubborn and intelligent, and the hero is handsome, mysterious, independent, yup sexy..but both of them have one weakness in common, love, they live through their brains, but when they finally met, their hearts begin to take over, so, what more can you ask for?!…

I enjoyed so much Ginesse’s character, she might not be a really wholesome woman in our society today, but she’s prank and the words that come out of her mind are both funny and real..:D

I love the ending even though other readers said it’s unreal, but for me it’s not bad to believe that fantasies happen once in a while, Jim’s declaration of love is totally romantic…

The Other guy’s bride is a well-researched tale of finding the lost city of Zerzura in Egypt with mistaken identities, adventure, hot romance, (witty and totally funny dialogues and realizations about love and life)… Read this book and be transported into a world of historical romance..:) highly recommended!(less)
