The Tyrell sisters seem to be good at running into and causing trouble. In Rebel Bride we meet Susannah Tyrell who is determined not to marry the man her father has said she will marry. When she somewhat unsuccessfully tries to seduce Hugh Beaufort, a favored courtier of Henry VIII, she decides to take matters into her own hands.
When Hugh is sent to track her down and bring her back to be married as her father wishes, he finds himself falling hard for the stubborn woman. But they will have much to overcome.
This was more of a traditional historical romance without as much of the Tudor legacy running through the plot. There is still danger all around, but we just don't see quite as much of the court intrigue as we did before.
I found this to be a better read than the first, and I really enjoyed the way the characters grew toward each other.

I listened to this for the Audible Romance Category challenge and I enjoyed it.
I love a strong female lead but she protested too much for my taste. It felt like it took her too long to get it. And he was the same way, he knew he wanted her but it took him until the end to admit he loved her. This book has a lot of drama but it didn't take over the entire story. This book was like 80% sex, not what I expected from this genre.
The narration was good. I didn't notice anything specific about her so that means a good narrator too me!

The heroine is silly and impractical. Made for a tedious and repetitive read. I don't understand why the hero likes her. The magic between her legs, I guess?

*****I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through Net galley in exchange for an honest review. ****
This the second book in Moss’s Lust in the Tudor Court series. I had read the first book and I did enjoy it. That being said you DO NOT need to read the first book to enjoy this one. Other than the heroine form the first book be the sister of Susannah (our heroine this time) the previous store has no bearing on this one. I enjoyed that heroine seemed strong willed, but much was because she is terrible naïve about the workings of Court life. She does not wish to marry, but to become a mistress. She has set her eyes on Hugh Beaufort, a courtier to King Henry VIII. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the story develop and this couple slowly falling in love. For me this book was much better than the first and I am now more eager to read the next book in the series. I would consider Rebel Bride a Historical Erotic Romance. .
