To Snare a Bride . . . To Gabriel Devine, Duke of Wolverest, the bonds of marriage are nothing more than shackles. But if he's to remain a lifelong bachelor, that leaves only his younger brother to carry on the family name.

He is nothing more than a slave to passion, and she will not be conquered by his caresses­--and yet his wicked ways tempt her so . . .… (more)

Awkward, insecure heroine who believes herself to be unattractive charms the rakish hero without knowing it. Mean stepmother, angst, the usual formula. But I do so like that formula! ( )

Maybe 3.5 stars. This is my first from this author and I think she has potential, I found this one kind of simplistic though, and I wanted the heroine to be a bit smarter. There were several humorous descriptions that made me chuckle though and I liked the hero's flirtations. It was worth reading. ( )
