My Review

I really enjoy this sweet clean fun romance which kept me smiling and laughing all the way through. Two people must marry but are not happy about marrying the ones they must. My heart really went out to Amethyst who had everyone against her and what she wanted to be. Her father made her promises which he is unable to keep. He told her she would marry for love but now she finds she will not. He promised she would be making jewel for years to come but she finds out from her husband to be she will not. All he is after is the jewelry, money and half the business when he marries her. When one of her worse fears comes true she finds her life is changed forever.

To restore Colin castle he must marry into money love doesn’t matter it didn’t go far with his parents. He finds the lady pretty but as things come to ahead he finds he doesn’t like her much at all. There is no way out he will see this through hoping for the best and getting his home in order. Once Amy’s world falls apart he see things different but still must do has he promised. He just doesn’t see in any hope of happy ever after for any of them.

I have not read the original of this book I hear it has some steamy parts. I do like some steam but even without the steam this was a very entertaining read. Steam is not always the most important part of a book it is the writing, plot and the style that makes it a good read. This book has all of those as the authors put a lot of thought into making this a wonderful fun loving read.

I really love these characters they are warm, loving and caring. I love their humor as they pull pranks on each other and their family. I didn’t care for Amy husband to be he was really a hateful man from the start. Lord help her if this man makes her marry him I am sure it will be filled of abuse. Amy’s father was a dear blind in so many ways but still a dear. He wanted what he thought best for his daughter as he found love can hurt and cut you deep when one lives and one dies. I adore the Chase family and look forward to getting to know each one better as I read their stories. I read this until I could not keep my eyes open last night. It was so good, sweet, and loving that you just do not want to put it down. These two must deal with a lot of issues from those they must marry who do not understand the word NO. A lot is lost but more is gained as they turn the page to a new and wonderful life where you can have it all. I think most would find this highly entertaining even if you have read the more steamer version. If you are looking for a well written wonderful read that will keep you chuckling throughout I hope you will pick this up and give it a read.

Overview

"The Earl’s London Bride” is the SWEET & CLEAN ROMANCE edition of “Amethyst” by Lauren Royal.

From a New York Times bestselling author and her daughter!
London, 1666: Amethyst Goldsmith makes dazzling jewelry, but her future isn’t nearly as bright as the pieces she creates. Though custom dictates she wed her father’s apprentice, her heart rebels against the match. In mere days Amy will be condemned to a stifling, loveless marriage, and she sees no way out—until the devastating fire of 1666 sweeps through London, and tragedy lands her in the arms of a dashing young earl who knows a diamond in the rough when he sees it…

Colin Chase, the Earl of Greystone, has his future all figured out. He’s restoring his crumbling castle and estate to its former glory, and the key to its completion is his rich bride-to-be. But the Great Fire lays waste to his plans, saddling him with trouble—in the form of a penniless shopkeeper’s daughter with whom he’s most inconveniently falling in love…
