Blog Tour: Never a Bride by Megan Frampton
She’s a deliciously scandalous woman who is no man’s bride…
He’s a black sheep, forced to return home.
Together, they enter a make-believe betrothal that shocks London society…
After twelve years in Her Majesty’s Navy, Griffith Davies must leave his sea-going life of outrageous freedom behind, forced to rejoin London society as the heir to the Duke of Northam. But though he is now shackled to the land, he has no desire to wed some innocently dull young thing. Who best to shield him from the matchmakers than a woman as notorious as he?
Lady Della Howlett’s reputation was tattered years ago, so entering into a false engagement with Griffith is hardly going to make matters worse. What’s one more shock to the ton to set their tongues wagging? And this pact certainly has its pleasures; the passion Griffith commands in her goes well beyond their agreement. Could her feelings might be more honorable than she’d first imagined?
Soon, Griffith and Della are arousing more than scandal, they’re courting heartbreak. And more than their reputations could still be at risk.
RATING/REVIEW: ☕☕☕☕☕ (5 cups for this delightful historical romance between sea loving captain turned royal and a duke's daughter with a scandalous past!)
The eldest daughter finally meets her match.
IF you have been following Megan Frampton's Duke's Daughters series, then you would have been familiar with Never a Bride's Della Howlett, the disgraced eldest daughter who's been the silently talked about in all the previous books. Never a Bride, however, can be read as a standalone like the previous books and what a charming, sexy and wonderfully humorous story does it tell.
The male protagonist here is Griffith Davies, recent captain of a naval ship, who unfortunately was about to be arrested when he finds out he is now the sole living heir of his cousin, the Duke of Northram. Which means most of his family have died and his favorite cousin about to follow them soon. Still, this was also the moment he meets Della, which of course makes him quite curious and slightly in lust to find out who she is. When they do meet again, it seems as if fate has dealt them a great hand. She needs his help to locate a dear friend's husband and he needs her to keep the society wolves at bay. It could have been a win-win situation, until the lust and then the emotions got in the way!
I do love the way Della and Griffin interacted, the almost, dominant submissive role play was way sexy it burned the pages. But most of all, it was the way they kind of fumbled around trying to navigate a relationship. Their bantering was sexy, funny and charming. Never a Bride will definitely make you laugh and giggle and say aww to one fantastic romance.
