Cheryl Holt historical romances are always a sure bet -- this one was great. Cheryl Holt novels tend to have very EVIL character and this novel had the element but less than her previous books. The concept of the “Reluctant Brides” trilogy are that 3 women who have lived and worked at the Miss Peabody’s School for Girls are left with a weird inheritance when Miss Peabody dies. They are each told she left them a fiancé and because they are someone alone in the world they take this leap.Rose arrives at the home of her fiance Stanley Oswald who is older man with no physical and is written as slimebag. He can't father any children and suggests that James ( a man who raised from orphanage) and Rose attempt to have a child and then he will marry Rose and claim the child/heir.  The secondary characters are just as creepy.  This book was very interesting as always I read Cheryl holt books with look of disqust on the edge of my chair.  Another great series from this author -  Reluctant Brides Trilogy , WICKED , WANTON  and WONDERFUL due out Summer 2014.
