    About this ebook

    Intriguing...engaging...an illicit delight.”
    —Stephanie Laurens

    New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Liz Carlyle ushers readers once again inside the mysterious St James Club, where passion and secrets simmer behind the elegant façade of Victorian London. In her deliciously intriguing The Bride Wore Scarlet, Carlyle does historical romance absolutely right—as a determined young beauty’s desire to gain entrance into the secret all-male society places her under the powerfully sensuous spell of the group’s ruthless and enigmatic leader. Fans of Amanda Quick and Gaelen Foley are going to love this Bride!

    Liz Carlyle

    During her frequent travels through England, Liz Carlyle always packs her pearls, her dancing slippers, and her whalebone corset, confident in the belief that eventually she will receive an invitation to a ball or a rout. Alas, none has been forthcoming. While waiting, however, she has managed to learn where all the damp, dark alleys and low public houses can be found. Liz hopes she has brought just a little of the nineteenth century alive for the reader in her popular novels, which include the trilogy of One Little Sin, Two Little Lies, and Three Little Secrets, as well as The Devil You Know, A Deal With the Devil, and The Devil to Pay. Please visit her at LizCarlyle.com, especially if you're giving a ball.

      Anais de Rohan has been trained to become a member of a secret paranormal society. After some to-do (the members don't permit females to enter), she is teamed up with Geoff, Lord Bessett, to go to Brussels to rescue a child who has paranormal abilities. Of course, the two have a sexual attraction, but Anais is sure that she is going to marry a Tuscan prince based on a Tarot reading done by her grandmother. So Geoff is Mr. Right-for-now and the two fall into bed while trying to complete their mission.Liz Carlyle is kind of hit or miss with me and unfortunately, this book was a miss. Anais was kind of bratty and Geoff was a bit of a stiff. I could have gotten past that if they had grown together more, but this was another romance that seemed based strictly on the sex and not much else.
    • 2/5
      The premise intrigued me, and I wanted to like the characters, but I just couldn't get into it. The dialog often felt wooden, with too many bits of as-you-know-Bob worked in.
    • 2/5
      I couldn't finish this book - I ended up skimming the second half because I wasn't that interested but knew I would need to know the plot to move onto the next book.
    • 5/5
      Liz Carlyle's second entry in her "Fraternitas Trilogy" hits the ground running and offers great romantic adventure all the way to the last page. "The Bride Wore Scarlet" is an enthralling love story with strong paranormal elements and a well-matched romantic duo. Anais de Rohan and Geoff Archard (Lord Bessett) are both gifted with special mental abilities and great physical prowess, making them the perfect pair to carry out a rescue mission for the mysterious St. James Society. This "sparks flying fast and furious" twosome act out a personal duel of wits and wills, leading to a challenge of swords and a surrender to sizzling passion! A well-paced, compelling romance!
    • 4/5
      Liz Carlyle has long been a sure buy in the romance industry, and her latest offering, 'The Bride Wore Scarlet' should please those seeking a summer romance. Carlyle's current series (which is not in this reader's opinion her best effort) involves the members of the mysterious St. James Society. Its members, who have a number of varying psychic gifts, act as guardians for other psychics who require protection. 'The Bride Wore Scarlet' introduces the beautiful and psychically gifted Anais de Rohan who wants to play with the boys and join the St. James as a full-fledged guardian. And when Lord Bessett questions her membership, the astute romance reader knows where the plot is headed. Anais and Geoff are off to Belgium to prove whether or not Anais is worthy to be a guardian as they plot to rescue a young psychic. Carlyle's readers may rest assured that both the rescue and hot sex will result. Liz Carlyle has written some of the most complex, intriguing, multi-layered romance novels currently on the market. And while 'the bride wore....' series is not in their league, it's still far better done that much that's being published at the moment. So while not a keeper, 'The Bride Wore Scarlet' is worth a look.
