About this ebook

 Can a lady tempt a Free Fellow to surrender his heart? 

As a founding member of the Free Fellows League—a group of four gentlemen who signed a pledge to never wed when they were lads—Griffin, Viscount Abernathy, swears that he will put off marrying as long as possible. But when he is suddenly called off to war, he has no choice but to obey his father’s wishes and find a wife…

Just days later, he marries the lovely Lady Alyssa. For a man committed only to his freedom, she seems a perfect—and perfectly undemanding—bride. Intelligent and self-sufficient, Alyssa craves her independence just as much as Griffin loves his. But as the irresistible attraction between them flourishes with every look and touch, they discover there is something they desire even more than a loveless marriage of convenience—the passion they find in each other’s arms… 

Book 1 of the “Free Fellows League” Series, which includes BARELY A BRIDE, MERELY THE GROOM, HARDLY A HUSBAND, TRULY A WIFE, A BACHELOR STILL and CLEARLY A COUPLE (a novella from TALK OF THE TON)

Ratings and reviews

FL is your stunningly beautiful, quirky girl who's "not like other (rich) girls." ML is one of the town's handsome rake who doesn't care for women until the "special" FL appears. They fall for each other's looks & quickly marry due to the demands of ML's father. So boring. Even the steamy scenes were boring

What an epic story. Griff and Allysa were very strong characters and perfectly suited for each other. The author has a way with words that kept you feeling all kinds of emotions. Her descriptions of the battlefields made me feel like I was there and Allysa's devotion to Griff upon his return gave me a lump in my throat. A book well recommended.

I can in all honesty say that this was one of the most enjoyable regency books I have ever read. It is a totally relateable book and I found the humour outstandingly refreshing.
