At the Bride Hunt Ball

By Olivia Parker

Book Overview

To Snare a Bride . . . To Gabriel Devine, Duke of Wolverest, the bonds of marriage are nothing more than shackles. But if he's to remain a lifelong bachelor, that leaves only his younger brother to carry on the family name. Inviting the ton 's most eligible ladies to an elegant ball, Gabriel is certain any one of them would be all too eager to become the next duchess and provide an heir--leaving Gabriel to continue his ecstatic pursuit of pleasure. To Catch a Rogue . . . Her social-climbing stepmother would give anything to have Madelyn Haywood betrothed to a future duke. But Madelyn believes the brothers Devine to be nothing more than heartless rogues--especially Gabriel, whose rakish reputation precedes him. He is nothing more than a slave to passion, and she will not be conquered by his caresses---and yet his wicked ways tempt her so . . .

Customer Reviews

Omg I Loved It

SOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!! Loved the heroine and the hero! Couldn't put it down.

Couldn't put it down

I bought this book largely based on customer reviews (despite silly cover) and was not disappointed at all. The book was fun, entertaining, and I stayed up all night reading it. The author did a great job with character devleopment and building the romance. I can't wait until she writes her next novel. Highly recommended.

A goodie!!!

If you are looking for a book without annoying dangling plot lines, if you like books that are stand alone and not part of a 10 book series, if you like lots of laughs and plenty of romance, then At the Bride Hunt Ball is the book for you. I picked it up by chance at the bookstore and was pleasantly surprised. I really liked it. The premise was that eligible young ladies would be invited to a ball in order for the younger brother of the duke to pick himself a bride. One young lady wants an invitation so badly and another, our heroine Madelyn, doesn't. Naturally, they both end up at the ball and it is a lovely story. This book was a great book to read on a sunny afternoon. It was filled with pleasant people I wanted to read about and didn't have a lot of minuses. It had humor, a plausible plot, and was very readable. I was pleasantly surprised by this book as I had never heard of the author. I was a little disappointed to find out this was a debut book. I am looking forward to reading more from Olivia Parker and had hoped she had a backlist. But, I can wait--hopefully, Charlotte's story is next. I know who I would like her to end up with. We'll see if that's where the author is headed.
