'An Arranged Marriage' is the first of Beverley's beloved tales that began her popular 'Company of Rogues' series. Eleanor Chivenham didn't put much past her vile brother, but even she had not anticipated his greedy scheme to dupe a rich earl into mistaking her for a lightskirt! With her reputation in shreds and her future ruined, a defeated Eleanor was forced to agree to a hasty wedding. But marriage to the mysterious Nicholas Delaney was more than she'd bargained for. He doubtless thought the worst of her, but when society gossip soon told her all about his beautiful French mistress, Eleanor tried to act with the cool dignity required in a marriage of convenience. But how long could she hold out against his undeniable charm -- or the secret desires of her heart?For the sake of family honor, Nicolas Delaney agreed to wed a wronged lady.

In truth, such chivalry ran counter to his carefully wrought image of a carousing, dissolute rogue -- the guise so vital to his secret political mission. He hoped to keep his new wife in the background until a spy was trapped, but Eleanor's beauty and fighting wit were impossible to ignore. In fact, she presented quite a challenge to his prowess with women -- and a test of his formidable will! Although Forbidden is still my favorite because I loved Frances and Serena as a couple so much (plus Francis is a virgin hero), this is an incredibly effective book. There are so many reasons why this story could have gone the wrong way for me: First and foremost, the hero commits the unthinkable for me in a romance, adultery. However, he has reasons that I could not argue with.

He has been asked to cozy up to his former mistress who is actually a morally bankrupt spy, and in order to do that, p [.]. So I'm home sick with a terrible cold and thought to myself, self, you need to read something pleasant.

Perhaps a re-read of a book you love? Nope, did that yesterday with Goddess of the Hunt. Aaah, LOVE that book. Maybe I'll try one I bought last week at the used book store. Like this one, 'An Arranged Marriage'. Sounds promising.My first inclination that this book was going to be a BIT different was the rape at the beginning. Notice I said rape, not forced seduction.

This is a drugged, forced [.]. @ Ami:'I spent all night working and 'torturing myself' listening to Jo Beverley's 'An Arranged Marriage.' I think I stuck with it so long because my 50% audiobooks were turning out to be a lesson in 'you get what you pay for,' and I didn't want ALL of them to be one huge waste of money. This book was just flat out awful. If I sat down and wrote out a list of plot devices that I would despise in a romance novel.. Download ai yori aoshi sub indonesia.

This book would contain them all.1) Top of the list: Cheating! However, [.]. I cannot say how glad I am that this wasn't my first experience with Jo Beverley. What a dismal story! The interesting thing is that her general craft and characterization are okay, but the plot is a great big pile of suck that distorts every other element into the suck-pit of amazing suckitude.I mean, if you're going to have a hero that you claim is smart and a natural leader and all, then having a story where he's run ragged by a floozy for months on end, interfering with his relationship with [.]. One of the heaviest and most brutal books I have ever read. Heroine gets raped by hero's gay brother, to prove that he's a hetero, and forced to marry hero in case of 'consequences'.

And soon after their marriage, there is another scene where the hero practically rapes the heroine, because if she does get pregnant, the child could be her husband's, so they could rest easy knowing that. I don't know how I read the story after that, but I did. It was several years ago.This put put me off Beve [.].
