A review by erinnaissance
The Bride Wore Scarlet by Liz Carlyle

5.0

I picked up this book because I quite liked the story of the heroine’s parents in a previous book; No True Gentleman. Although her parents are barely mentioned in this book, I was delighted with the character Anais and how she was no wilting wallflower. She was strong willed, brave and capable.I also found the theme of mystical arts intriguing. Overall, the book was a refreshing change from reading historical romance books that were beginning to feel cookie cutter-esque.

I am still giving the book five stars but I do wish the author would have spared including plot development for St. James Society members who get their own books and instead caught the reader up on Anais’s parents’ love match, her foster brother Nate and maybe her twin Armand.
