Review: A Willing Reader of The Unwilling Bride
Rating: 5 out of 5

Caitlin is one of the most vivid characters to appear in a book in a long time.  She has depth, faces conflict, and develops throughout the whole story.  She starts as a spoiled brat who is forced into an arranged marriage for reasons that are kept from her.  Luckily she is paired with a kind, gentle man who decides to court her after the arranged marriage.  The sexual tension builds deliciously through the first half of the book...  It is a good thing that Caitlin develops throughout the first half of the book because her husband desparetely needs her help to fight off political maneuvering, petty jealousies, and family intrigues that culminate in a very satisfying climax and resolution.  The book is set in 1798 and includes some very accurate historical details that support the political maneuvering flawlessly.  The story actually encouraged me to do some leafing through the Jefferson/Adams conflict over the Sedition Act.  This is a well written book with compelling characters and well worth your time.  I hope you enjoy the interplay between the unwilling bride and her very willing husband as much as I did.JT KalnayAuthor of Mina's Eyes and The Topsail Accord
