Not Quite a Husband by Sherry Thomas

Genre: Historical Romance; 1800’s

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Their marriage lasted only slightly longer than the honeymoon—to no one’s surprise, not even Bryony Asquith's. A man as talented, handsome, and sought after by society as Leo Marsden couldn't possibly want to spend his entire life with a woman who rebelled against propriety by becoming a doctor. Why, then, three years after their annulment and half a world away, does he track her down at her clinic in the remotest corner of India? Leo has no reason to think Bryony could ever forgive him for the way he treated her, but he won't rest until he’s delivered an urgent message from her sister—and fulfilled his duty by escorting her safely back to England. But as they risk their lives for each other on the journey home, will the biggest danger be the treacherous war around them—or their rekindling passion?

This is yet another good historical romance by Sherry Thomas. Bryony has run away from everything. Most assuredly Leo Marsden. Leo must come to deliver a message and bring her back to her sick father. Only things seem to keep getting in the way. The story is well put together. I really like that Bryony is a doctor in the late 1800’s. It makes the story quite compelling to read. The dynamic between Leo and Bryony is very entertaining. I really enjoyed reading this book.

His at Night by Sherry Thomas

Genre: Historical Romance; 1800’s

Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Love is hottest in the darkness before dawn. Elissande Edgerton is a desperate woman, a virtual prisoner in the home of her tyrannical uncle. Only through marriage can she claim the freedom she craves. But how to catch the perfect man? Lord Vere is used to baiting irresistible traps. As a secret agent for the government, he’s tracked down some of the most devious criminals in London, all the while maintaining his cover as one of Society’s most harmless—and idiotic—bachelors. But nothing can prepare him for the scandal of being ensnared by Elissande. Forced into a marriage of convenience, Elissande and Vere are each about to discover that they’re not the only one with a hidden agenda. With seduction their only weapon—and a dark secret from the past endangering both their lives—can they learn to trust each other even as they surrender to a passion that won’t be denied?

Elissande just wants to get her and herself out of her uncle’s home. Lord Vere is investigating Elissande’s uncle while holding behind his idiotic guise. But then he gets snared into marring Elissande. As the story moves forward you find that there is so much more going on then what is first seen. I loved this book for that. I liked how just when you think the story is going to go one way it turns on its ear. Vere for all his intelligence is rather dumb in matters of his own heart. I can’t wait to see what is next for Sherry Thomas as I really love her writing.

Let me know what your thoughts are.
