Claiming His Bride

by Marie Medina

Victoria cannot even muster a smile on her wedding day. Her groom is handsome, titled, and wealthy, and her marriage will save her family from financial ruin, but she is still saddened when she contemplates the long, loveless years ahead of her.

Bastian never intended to marry, but he gives in to his father’s scheme because the more he thinks about the bride, the more he wants to capture her heart. He sweeps her into his arms at the reception, determined to make her smile and laugh, though he only manages to make her blush and stare at him incredulously.

Was he wrong to believe he could turn a marriage of convenience into a love match? Or does another man already hold the heart of his reluctant bride?

More cuteness! This author is definitely one-click for me now.

I still think Bastian was in love with Victoria all along.

To rushed, to short for ''everything'' that was happening, to predictable, just big no,no for me.

Boring. And the entire plot was based on a "misunderstanding".
