Publisher's Synopsis:

Blake Harrison: Rich, titled, and charming… And in need of a wife by Wednesday so he turns to Sam Elliot who isn’t the business man he expected. Instead, Blake is faced with Samantha Elliot, engaging and spunky with a voice men call 900 numbers to hear. Samantha Elliot: Owner of Alliance, her matchmaking firm, and not on the marital menu... That is until Blake offers her ten million dollars for a one-year contract.

All she needs to do is keep her attraction to her husband to herself and avoid his bed. But Blake’s toe-curling kisses and charm prove too difficult to combat. Now she needs to protect her heart so she can walk away when their mercenary life together is over.



My review:

Bride by Wednesday is a wonderful romantic story which I very much enjoyed. Contemporary romance is my favourite genre and this book was the perfect blend of love, humour, entertaining plot and likeable characters.

Ms. Bybee has created a story which quickly drew me in and kept me interested from start to finish. The plot was like a modern day fairytale, where a woman who was a little down on her luck is rescued by her handsome duke.

They had to overcome some unexpected obstacles, but true love prevailed and there was a very happy ending. I liked the building of the relationship between the main characters and I also appreciated the fact that Samantha, the main female lead, was just as strong as her male counterpart.

This is the first book that I've read by Catherine Bybee and I will certainly be reading more of her work.
