Abigail Nash leads a lonely existence. Her mother died giving birth to her, her father’s business dealings took him away more often than not, and her ailing great-aunt, unable to provide much in the way of companionship, was a lack-luster guardian at best. So when her dear friends offered to launch her into London society, it appeared Abby’s life was taking a turn for the better, with suitors and social engagements aplenty. When she marries a proclaimed darling of the ton, it seems she will at last settle into the life of her dreams.
But appearances aren’t always what they seem, and dreams often become disappointments.
Just months into her marriage, Abby finds herself widowed, penniless, increasing, and determined to never hope again. But when her late husband’s brother, the Earl of Brigston, attempts to thaw the numbness surrounding her heart, Abby must decide if she has it in her to risk another chance at happiness, knowing the odds are not in her favor.
Book Review: My Brother’s Bride by Rachael Anderson
I absolutely fell in love with My Sister’s Intended, the first book in Serendipity series and eagerly awaited the time when I could get my hands on My Brother’s Bride. With an eye-catching cover, intriguing blurb and the promise of a great story, I went with high expectations when I started reading My Brother’s Bride by Rachael Anderson. This book had so much potential but with its hurried ending that still left me feeling like I didn’t get the needed closure that I seeked and the lack of depth in the character portrayal, has me feeling a bit let down. I enjoyed meeting Prudence and her sister, Sophia again and rejoiced watching Lord Knave and Prudence so much in love. They are my favourite couple from the previous book. Brigston and Abigail suit each other so much but I just wish more page space had been given to develop their characters. I wanted to see how they fared after their marriage, a closure to Abby’s relationship with her father and more insight into Lord Jasper’s character. Rachael Anderson is an author I have come to love. Her narration is crisp and frank. She stays true to her writing style here too and took me places through her settings and emotional play among characters. This book has many memorable moments and will keep you engaged throughout and for this, I give My Brother’s Bride by Rachael Anderson 3.5 stars out of 5. I eagerly await the next book in this series and recommend this book to lovers of clean historical romance.
I received the book for review from the author and the tour organizers and I am very thankful to them. The above is my honest and unbiased opinion and in no way influenced.
Praise for My Brother’s Bride
I haven’t read a book by Rachael Anderson that I didn’t absolutely love and this awesome book didn’t fail to meet that grade. ~Vicki
Enjoyed reading this book. The characters, dialogue, and plotline kept me entertained. Highly recommend this book to those who enjoy clean romances. ~Michele
This is the first full-length novel I’ve read by Rachael Anderson, but it definitely won’t be the last. I really enjoyed the story–the writing was really good with no annoying parts or awkwardness, the plot was interesting, the characters were endearing (I loved the banter between Brigtson and Abby!), and this book was just really good. Highly enjoyable. Great choice for those who like clean, well-written Regency romances. ~AE2
This forbidden Regency romance was excellent! Once I started, it was hard—almost impossible—to put down. The characters—Abigail and Brigston—were super well done. I became invested in their lives, their troubles, their hearts really fast, and the author did a superb job of not letting me go. The plot twist was unique. ~Charissa
A lovely, well-written story. Highly recommended. ~Linda
I always enjoy Ms. Anderson’s books! This one is wonderful, filled with great story and characters. Beautiful story of love, family and forgiveness. ~Nichee
I can not praise this author’s books enough. I have loved every single one. I love the characters! I love the development of the romance! I love the story line. I love the fun dialogue. I know when I start one of her books I will have a hard time putting it down until I am done and then I am sad the book is over. I love that each story is unique. ~Nari
A USA Today bestselling author, Rachael Anderson is the mother of four and is pretty good at breaking up fights, or at least sending guilty parties to their rooms. She can’t sing, doesn’t dance, and despises tragedies. But she recently figured out how yeast works and can now make homemade bread, which she is really good at eating.
