Sweet romance with a beta H who was incredibly appealing even with his low key Alpha traits. Had any of the other brothers wed her, this book may have been found in the 'war' section.not the 'romance' section.

It is gradual enough that it is made believable, and Geoffrey was Elene's ideal match. I had many 'ahahh' moments and wanted to shake Elene for not waking up to what was right before her own eyes.a husband like no other! However, while you are 'disliking' Elene, you are 'falling' for Geoffrey. Her temper is horrible, and she pouts, screams, tantrums, and acts like an unruly child for a great portion of the book. I have to be honest, Simmons almost waits to long to bring this 'lady' around. She murdered her last husband on their wedding night, and men 'fear for their lives' around her. Elene Fitzhugh is known for her violence, temper, and unkept appearance.

Geoffrey draws the 'short straw'.literally and is ordered by the king to wed 'the Fitzhugh'. The de Burgh Bride is Geoffery and Elene's story, and after reading hundreds of romance novels, I can say that I've never read one like this before! Taming the Wolf was Dunstan and Marion's story and is firmly planted on my 'keeper shelf'. I love this family of men! The de Burgh brothers are all unique, and each of their stories are turning out that way as well!
