This is the fourth book in a seven-part series: BAD LUCK BRIDES (see below). So far, this is the best of the bunch; Nick and Sarahs story is a keeper. This is an unusual tale of two people who marry and soon separate, exchanging letters but not expecting to see each other again.

At the time the story opens, it is the wedding day for Sarah Simpson and Nick Ross. He is eighteen and she is 16 years of age. Sarahs mother warns her of the dire and painful marriage bed and Sarah becomes over-wrought and refuses.

The next morning, Nick receives a telegram that his two older brothers (the heir and a spare) were both killed and he has become the Earl of Innsbruck. He must leave for England immediately; Sarah refuses to leave Texas. They part but carry on a lively correspondence over 10 years.

Finally, Nick demands that Sarah come to England. The reader and Nick know that he wants an annulment from their marriage so he can marry another. Nick has sent someone to escort her to England (see COLD FEET). When she arrives, Sarah is accosted by three lovely (but trouble-creating) sisters of Nick.

This is a lovely historical novel with lots of humor and pathos. I thoroughly enjoyed it all and missed lots of sleep until this book was completed. Beautiful.

- Western Historicals are not usually an interest for me but this is a really cute series!

- Only 1 thing I thought could have been better with Sarah in this story, given her 'fear' for the better part of a decade: a conversation with one of the McBrides or close friends to give her an alternate view point/opinion of the one and only thing she had been told about sex.

- So far though, I'd place them in this order: "Bad Luck Wedding Cake" & "BLW Dress" then this story. I still have 2 to go and am looking forward to reading them as well. =)

Every woman remembers her wedding night, even if she wishes she didn't. Sarah, Lady Weston, tries not to recall how her husband wooed, wed, and deserted her in the name of duty almost a decade ago. She is successful and content in her role of professional wedding designer, but for all her attention to detail, she neglected one important item. Sarah never had her marriage annulled. Isn't it just her bad luck that Nick now finds himself in need of a wife?

No man would ever forget a wedding night like the one Nicholas, Lord Weston, endured. But his years as a spy in the service to the Crown have taught him the value of patience, among other things. Now back in Britain, his sisters' weddings on the horizon, and haunted by a woman he never truly left behind, he is ready to tackle the most dangerous and daunting task of all - seducing his skeptical bride.
