Rules of a Ruse

Regency Christmas Brides, Book 2

De: Laura Beers

Narrado por: Hedra Knight

Mr. Alden Dandridge has received astonishing news: he is set to inherit a thriving horse farm in a quaint Scottish village. However, there's a formidable catch. He must be married by Twelfth Night. Undeterred, Alden journeys to Scotland, convinced that a marriage of convenience will solve all his problems.

Miss Elinor Sidney has been successfully running the horse farm for the past two years, and she has no intention of relinquishing it to Mr. Dandridge. Adding to the stakes, she learns that if Alden fails to secure a bride by Twelfth Night, the horse farm will legally belong to her. When Alden enlists her help in finding a suitable bride, Elinor agrees, though she has no true intention of aiding him.

As Alden spends more time with Elinor, he comes to realize that she is the perfect solution to his predicament. He just needs to persuade her to marry him. Yet, Elinor yearns for a marriage built on love, not convenience. When someone from Elinor's past reemerges, threatening her peace, Alden knows he must risk everything—including his heart—to protect her.

Love unfolds in unexpected ways in this light-hearted, clean, and wholesome holiday romance. Enjoy it as a stand-alone story or as the second book in the Regency Christmas Brides series.

It Was Fine

I’ve been so excited for this series and wanted to love this book. The first 2/3 of the story was, in fact, cute and enjoyable. However, when the situation with Elinor’s uncle comes to a head, it takes a turn toward “that doesn’t even make sense” and if felt disjointed to me from that point forward.

Enjoyed this series

Very sweet story, not too many surprises, but I enjoyed it anyways. Lovely performance. I would highly recommend the series.

Boy, girl, aunt as a ghost, uncle as villain, and hairy spiders!

This is a really fun story! Handsome man, beautiful woman, and big hairy house spiders. What could go wrong??? The banter between the two main characters, the aunt pretending to be a ghost. The uncle chimes in as the evil villain. And the spiders! You won’t be disappointed.
