Vacationing in Scotland, schoolteacher Elizabeth “Elle” Darcy anticipates picturesque landscapes, castles of old and kilt-wearing charmers, not awakening in someone else’s body. Worse, that someone just married enigmatic billionaire Callen Bruce. Though that’s not the biggest problem. To the rest of the world, her new “husband” runs an elite empire. But behind his public persona, he’s a king of berserkers locked in an ancient, supernatural war with wolf-shifters.
Determined to reclaim her normal life, Elle will do anything necessary to switch back with Callen’s real wife. First, she must ditch the disciplined warrior. An impossibility when he refuses to relinquish the bride chosen for him by fate, even though he despises her. Or does he? The growing heat in his eyes says otherwise. Not that it matters. There’s no way this temporary queen will fall for the moody, broody secretive warrior who belongs to another woman. Nope. Not Elle. Not ever. Probably.
MY REVIEW
What do you do when a vacation of a lifetime turns into an utter nightmare? An innocent life switched and thrust into an unknown world. Left with no other choice, Elle must conform and play the part if she has any chance for survival or getting her old life back…
What a wild, wild ride. The Wrong Bride was filled with so many love/hate moments as the story began to unravel. Not knowing who you could really trust or what would happen when the truth came out. At one point, it felt like the hits would never stop coming, and I had no clue how Elle would get out of this predicament.
Right off the bat, I knew Callen and Elle were going to be a force to be reckoned with. Their story utterly complex, yet entertaining, and filled with the most delicious angst. The angst was out of control and utterly consuming, leaving my emotions at war with themselves.
The stakes had never been higher, and only time would tell if truth and love would overcome the obstacles set before Elle and Callen.
One thing I say for certain is that The Wrong Bride certainly kept me on my toes. I couldn’t and didn’t want to put this book down. This book has great world-building and character development. The paranormal aspects intrigued me, while the chemistry and banter left me salivating for more.
I know it may not seem like it, but my thoughts are a jumbled mess in the best possible way. All I can say is I absolutely loved this book and can not wait to read more from this duo.
