    About this ebook



    After Olivia Dobson is jilted at the altar, she endures another humiliation: a substitute groom! The elder brother of her runaway betrothed has taken matters into his own hands. Shy Olivia has long held a secret attraction for Andrew Richardson, the handsome Earl of Ashcombe. But when she's wedded, bedded and dispatched alone to his country estate, the timid beauty discovers one night of passion has ignited a bold inner fire.

    While his lovely green-eyed bride is out of sight, she is not far from Andrew's mind--and when Olivia is abducted by French spies, the earl fears he may lose what he's only just found. Yet the wife he races to rescue is a far cry from the gentle bride he abandoned. She's a woman who dares to demand forever after from her husband .

    Rosemary Rogers

    Bestselling author Rosemary Rogers, dubbed "The Queen of Historical Romance" by the New York Times Book Review, was born into a wealthy family in the colonial splendor of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. Prone to daydreams and fantasies since childhood, she wrote her first novel at the age of eight, and throughout her teens penned passionately romantic epics in the style of her favourite writers. Rosemary began her writing career while working full-time as a secretary for the California Parks Department. A divorced mother of four, Rosemary was struggling to raise her children on a meager secretary's salary. During lunch hours and late at night after the children had fallen asleep, Rosemary put pen to paper, capturing the steamy romantic fantasy that played itself out so vividly in her imagination. A stickler for detail, Rosemary rewrote her first manuscript 23 times, toiling over the historical accuracies. Until the day her teenage daughter found the manuscript in a drawer, and encouraged her mother to send her novel off to a publishing house. The hours of revision paid off when the unsolicited, unagented manuscript was accepted immediately for publication. That novel, Sweet Savage Love, skyrocketed to the top of bestseller lists, and became one of the most popular historical romances of all time. Throughout her career, Rosemary has written over 16 novels, sold millions upon millions of copies worldwide, and her novels have been translated into 11 languages. Rosemary makes her home in Connecticut.

      I began with moderately high hopes as I read this book... then the author had to go and make her an idiot.
      ....and I continue to be amused by her lack of sense.

      So basically, this book is one of those classics; a woman without sense or much of a brain (although we are encouraged to believe she possess one since we are told she 'reads'), who is kidnapped by a 'dear friend' in the midst of a war, and is incapable of using what little sense she has to escape. Instead, she manages to get the person that came to free her imprisoned (while bemoaning and crying out that they are kept well and unhurt while imprisoned) and she is taken back to her confinement in her gorgeous rooms with her gorgeous clothes given as a gift. Shallow-minded, useless twit that she is.

      ........ I am hoping to be proven wrong. That in reality she is at least passingly clever.
