The Butterfly Bride

By Vanessa Riley
The Butterfly Bride by Vanessa Riley digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Frederica Burghley wants to be married by Yuletide. Or else her father will set her up with one of his friends. The bonbon-loving illegitimate daughter of the duke wants to choose her own husband. Advertising in the newspaper seems like the way to go. But a sinister response, with threats against her life, leads her to enlist the help of her very handsome, dear friend Jasper Fitzwilliam, Lord Hartwell.

A father and widower, Jasper is not only tasked with keeping Frederica safe but also with helping his vibrant friend choose a suitable husband. The more he tries to keep the ever-surprising woman alive and find her a good match, the more Jasper realizes he cares for her. The two friends risk their lives for each other, so they should be able to risk their feelings for a chance at a deep and true love together. But he's not looking for marriage and she's not looking for convenience.

“This book was good. But I hate to say that during most of it I was struggling to finish it.”
“<strong>2.75*</strong> Wow, this book was very uneven. It vacillated between 2 and 3 stars, I admit I went into it with my arms folded, a bit, as I really disliked the heroine of the previous book. I ended up liking this heroine, and understanding her motives for her decisions, and then she suddenly (and randomly, though explained after the fact) reversed the huge decision that she had been clinging to for the first 3/4 of the book. I like a good a-ha moment/scene wen momentous decisions happen and that did not happen here. So at about the 75% mark the rating plummeted. I was, sort of, intrigued by the mystery of the rest of the book, and I ultimately liked this heroine, and there were more and better scenes of the friendships that link these books and the hero and his brother (who is the hero of the first book) which brought my rating back up, somewhat.”
