Description Toward Books Scandal's Bride (Cynster #3)
"He will father your children..."When Catriona Hennessy, honorable Scottish Lady of the Vale, received this prediction, she was exceedingly aghast. How could she unite with a rake like Richard Cynster--a masterful man with a scandalous reputation? More shocking still was her guardian's will that decreed she and Richard be wed within a week! Though charmed by his commanding presence, and wooed by his heated kisses, she would not--could not--give up her independence.
So she formed a plan to get the heir she needed without taking wedding vows.Richard was just as stunned by the will's command. Marriage had not previously been on his agenda, but lately he'd been feeling rather...restless. Perhaps taming the lady was just the challenge he needed. But can he have the rights of the marriage bed without making any revealing promises of love?

Re-read 2017While I love Catriona and her spunkiness, this is probably my least favorite book in the Cynster series. I usually skip this one when I do re-reads. I decided to read it this time around since it had been so many years since I had read it. I have no clue if I'll ever read it again.OMG...This book was such a waste of time....OH WHY..did I even bother picking it up ?!?
this book bored me to tears! Got a headache trying to force myself to read it.... Hated the heroine, she was so arrogant and full of herself. Also I am just not into all the witchy stuff.. I find it silly.
****DNF 27% - No rating as I did not finish this story.****Look, I went in knowing that there was going to be a contentious issue so I shouldn't be surprised that I didn't like it. I decided to take a risk and not judge by other peoples opinions. Honestly, the "issue" wasn't even the reason I stopped. By the time I got there, I was done and it had just given me a good enough reason to say enough is enough. I ABSOLUTELY HATED THE HEROINE!!Such a self-absorbed, arrogant and manipulative character
There is some good writing here, but also some problems.The author is talented. There were interesting characters and good dialogue. The author shows not tells. I enjoyed the warm family emotions and interactions at the end. My problems with the story follow.CAUTION SPOILERS:One of my pet peeves is creating conflict through vague communication and inaccurate assumptions. The author should have deleted pages 226 to 276, which created the following conflicts. Catriona overheard a conversation
This was different and fun. Interspersed with supernatural elements, the love story of Richard and Catriona emerges.Catriona is a disciple of the "Lady", who is given a premonition that Richard shall father her kids. She decides to take the matters in her own hands to make it possible.There was so much going on in this book. Once I got used to the PNR, i really wanted to shove the couple in each other's direction to stop hiding and COMMUNICATE. (view spoiler)[ I was ok with the sperm stealing-
This used to be one of my favorite books. But, rereading it...Catriona drugs Richard, sneaks into his room and has sex with him.This is called rape. It's completely inappropriate and immoral. Why was I so ok with that when I was younger. Does Stephanie Lauren's not believe men can be raped? If Richard drugged her and then slept with the world would be in uproar and call him a rapist. Just disturbing.
