Back-Blurb:

The wedding of the season!

Event’s manager Sylvie Smith is organising a glittering fundraising event: a wedding show in a stately home. She has even been roped into pretending to be a bride – a bride who’s five months pregnant...

The bride everyone is talking about!

It should be every girl’s dream, designing a wedding with no expense spared, but not for Sylvie. Longbourne Court was her ancestral home, and she’s just discovered that the new owner is Tom MacFarlane: her baby’s secret father. Now Tom’s standing in front of her, looking at her bump...

A Bride for All Seasons

A spring wedding is in the air!

Review:

The Bride’s Baby is the first in a new Harlequin Mills & Boon Romance miniseries, and Liz Fielding kicks it off with her usual tug-at-the-heart emotional pull that is her signature of a fulfilling Romance read.

Sylvie Smith attempts to negotiate payment with a jilted groom – billionaire Tom MacFarlane and finds herself with more than she bargained for!

This is another dazzling story from the pen of Liz Fielding. Sylvie is a tough, no-nonsense heroine, and Tom is a gorgeous hero to fall in love with – and fall I did!

As well as enjoying the heartfelt emotion, I loved the humour in Sylvie’s “Oh, confetti” moments! As always, Liz Fielding has woven pure magic and by the end of the book she has her readers breathing a sigh or relief and contentment. Another for the keeper shelf!

Falling in love isn't part of the plan...neither is discovering she's pregnant once she's home and the affair is over.Now Xavier knows she's carrying his child, and he wants an heir. Jane has been chosen as his bride!

Review:
CHOSEN AS THE FRENCHMAN’S BRIDE is a fabulous debut novel by author Abby Green. It’s a prime example of passion like no other……and from the moment Jane and Xavier literally bump into each other the air around them sizzles. Abby’s strong alpha Xavier is everything a Presents novel should portray…… power, wealth, strength, good looks, passion, tenderness all of it.

Jane Vaughan is alone on holiday and by mistake boards a boat heading towards an exclusive island. Once she arrives she is forced to stay and make arrangements for a room. Then he appears and she’s captivated, in fact they are both captivated. With just a simple dance and then a picnic the next day, it’s evident to both of them their journey is just beginning.

When Xavier realizes he must pursue Jane and see where this sensual pull will lead, he asks her to stay at his estate for the three week duration of her holiday and she agrees and falls in love. When it’s time to leave he asks her to stay as his mistress. Of course Abby knows he has the power to destroy her and so with dignity in tack she leaves and returns home. In later weeks, she realizes she is carrying his child and must tell him the news. Upon learning he is about to become a father he insists they marry in order to give him his heir and satisfy his need for her.

Abby Green’s characters simply reach out and grab you. If your reading experience is anything like mine you won’t be able to put this book down. Throughout this entire story, I felt Jane’s pain. She was so overcome with lust, joy and completely swept away…. I wept! Theirs is such a stormy journey in finding love and trust; at times it will break your heart. And so to Abby Green, congratulations for such a beautiful debut, CHOSEN AS THE FRENCHMAN’S BRIDE is one I will long remember!
