SYNOPSIS:
His name is William.
The moment William returns from university, he has promised to marry his childhood sweetheart, Elisabeth. Unfortunately, as he prepares to propose, they learn that her father has done the unthinkable. In an effort to save their farm, he has incurred an exuberant amount of gambling debts that he cannot ever repay and become involved with a man of incredible wealth and power.
His name is Lord Thomas.
When the debtor decides to pardon the debt in exchange for one simple favor, Elisabeth’s father wholeheartedly agrees. Lord Thomas, upon seeing the portrait of the three beautiful daughters, negotiates to marry the daughter of his choosing.
He chooses Elisabeth.
What happens when Elisabeth’s entire life plan is overturned by one simple deal with the devil and she’s whisked away to London as his prize?
Will her traitorous heart fall for Lord Thomas, or will it stay true to William?
MY 5 STAR REVIEW * * * * *
Elisabeth Merriweather has been waiting for the day that her love, William, gets home from university so they can take off from where they left off. They are in love and plan on moving forward with their life, even ready to tell Elisabeth's father, that they were going to get married.
They were getting their Happily Ever After.
Or so they thought.
Lord Thomas, a man you do NOT want to be in debt, a powerful, wealthy, sexy as sin man. Unfortunately for William, just as he's getting ready to take Elisabeth's hand in marriage, the news is told to them, that Elisabeth's father is indeed in debt with the Lord and he is taking payment in form of having one of his daughters.
And Elisabeth is the daughter who has to be that payment.
WELL HOLY BLOODY SHIT.
Elisabeth has been waiting this whole time for William back so they can finally get married. Then the horrible jerk Lord Thomas comes and chooses her for his slave wife she is not happy but does it to save her family home from this man and really she doesn't have a choice. Both are attracted to each other, but Elisabeth's heart belongs to William... doesn't it? So much so that she makes a deal with the devil himself. Elisabeth is a feisty, strong character and is certainly not afraid to push Jasper. They have an interesting dynamic. They are so hot!
BUT
Will Elisabeth willingly become Lady Thomas??
Lord Jasper Thomas *FANNING THYSELF* Holy hell and sweet sin. THAT MAN. If one of the reasons you steer clear of historical romance is because you don't think it will be sexy, the way New Adult/erotica books are. Well then you have obviously underestimated K Webster. Jasper is on hot alpha. He is a cocky SOB, but hell he can be. He takes what he wants, when he wants, so unapolagetically. So basically he comes along, taking what he wants, which is Elisabeth, taking her from the man she loves, taking her to London to be his wife and that's that. Nothing she can do about. I should hate him right?, which I normally would, I'd be all like " who does that fucker think he is". Did I hate him? Not. Even. Once. I couldn't put the book down he is so damn hot. I'm pretty sure Jasper will make women's knickers evaporate. Damn. He is without a doubt up there in my top three favourite book boyfriends. And honeysuckle is my new favourite word.
I signed up to review this, shocking myself really, but I was attracted to this from one of the teasers, and well I'm so glad I did!!So If your thinking historical romance? not my thing NO WAY? seriously reconsider. It's my first historical romance book.If like me when you think of historical romance you think of Macbeth, Hamlet etc. Don't! It's amazing. If you read any historical romance read this one. K Webster is just so freaking talented. I'm ashamed to say this is my first K.Webster book too. Don't worry though ALL her books are getting added to my TBR. If your looking for a hot alpha this is the book to read. Jasper is hot as hell, Elisabeth is feisty and fights him all the way. It is sexy, sweet and funny, you won't be able to put it down and will be smiling and squirming from start to finish. The greedy side of me wanted more as it was a bit shorter than what I usually read But it was perfectly done. Well done Mrs. Webster.
So If you haven't already go get Becoming Lady Thomas. While I do a re-read and wait for Jasper to show up and take me. *SIGH*
