Foolish Bride

Forever Brides, Book 2

De: A.S. Fenichel

Narrado por: Marian Hussey

Sadly ever after...unless some dreams really do come true?

Elinor Burkenstock never believed in fairy tales. Sure, she’s always been a fool for love—what woman isn’t? But Elinor knows the difference between fiction and truth. Daydreams and reality. True love and false promises...

Until the unthinkable happens, and Elinor’s engagement is suddenly terminated and no one, least of all her fiancé, will tell her why.

Sir Michael Rollins’s war-hero days seem far behind him when, after one last hurrah before his wedding, he gets shot and his injuries leave him in dire shape. He wants nothing more than to marry Elinor, the woman of his wildest dreams. But Elinor’s father forbids it. Soon Michael is faced with a desperate choice: spare Elinor a life with a broken man or risk everything to win her heart—until death do they part?

Better than the first book but somewhat drawn out

I liked this story a bit better than the first as far as the emotional ups and downs of Micheal and Eleanor's relationship although I did not really understand what his ailment really was, it was described purposefully vague and was resolved with little work/effort so it felt like a cheap plot device. I liked how the other characters from the previous book interacted and helped to bring the couple together. Not much happened (Except for the two constantly being at the same places, Eleanor going off alone to go get some "air" and then Micheal following her only to get into the same argument/profess their love but still manage to solve nothing) until the very end and by then I just wanted them to get married and be done because it was starting to feel drawn out and the last minute scenario with the Roxton character seemed weird and far fetched and really added nothing to the story for me. The narrator was good although I wish she had more variety in her male voices.
