A ruthless tycoon
Savage ambition has brought common-born Rhys Winterborne vast wealth and success. In business and beyond, Rhys gets exactly what he wants. And from the moment he meets the shy, aristocratic Lady Helen Ravenel, he is determined to possess her. If he must take her virtue to ensure she marries him, so much the better…
A sheltered beauty
Helen has had little contact with the glittering, cynical world of London society. Yet Rhys’s determined seduction awakens an intense mutual passion. Helen’s gentle upbringing belies a stubborn conviction that only she can tame her unruly husband. As Rhys’s enemies conspire against them, Helen must trust him with her darkest secret. The risks are unthinkable…the reward, a lifetime of incomparable bliss. And it all begins with…
Marrying Mr. Winterborne
Lady
Helen Ravenel is shy and unsure of herself, being an unloved and often
forgotten daughter to her late parents and often overlooked by her late
brother, it wasn't till her father was on his death bed that Helen learned the
truth of her illegitimacy. But that is a secret she has shared with no one. Now
her betrothal to a man whom himself is an adventure, was misguidedly broken off
by her cousin Devon and his bride while she was sick in bed with a migraine!
But now she is bound and determined to get him back, under her rules this time
and Rhys Winterborne will listen!
Rhys
Winterborne is a self-made Welshman with such determination, that he now owns
one of the biggest and best department stores in the whole of England! But the
one thing that Rhys wants was snatched from his grip…Helen! But now she stands
in front of him with quiet determination, declaring that she will not release
him from their betrothal! So he offers her an ultimatum! And surprisingly she
accepts!
While
looking forward to her wedding and life with Rhys, Helen discovers just how
much her parents resented her and whom her true sire is…the one person her
fiancé hates most in the world. Add to that the knowledge that she has a
sister! Helen is determined to find her and keep her safe, even if that means
giving up the one man she will ever love!
I
LOVED Lisa Kleypas old historical romances and I was honestly unsure that her
new series would live up to her old one…but I was WRONG!! Oh my goodness I
LOVED Marrying Winterborne! I knew I loved the characters when I read Cold
Hearted Rake, but I honestly didn't realize just how superb the story would be.
As
normal with the Lisa Kleypas books are wonderfully written and the story is so
detailed and historically detailed, I felt that I was immersed in this world of
beauty, heartbreak and determination. The characters were just as I had
expected them to be! Honestly how can you not full in love with Rhys and Helen
and I honestly could wax lyrical about all of the characters forever, as they
are all wonderful, but I do have to say that with the exception of the twins,
all of the original character have softened their personalities, I even grew to
like Kathleen!
I
give Marrying Winterborne 5 stars!
