Once Upon a Wedding Night

The "heroine" is a widgeon with delusions of a strong will and the "hero" is an over-bearing, judgmental coward. Why am I supposed to care about these idiots? And am I really supposed to be happy they're reproducing?

I loved the juicy set-up in Once Upon a Wedding Night and had hoped that the story would be as good as the premise. Good thing the Jordan didn’t disappoint. A widow is left with no money/property when her husband dies, so she has to figure out how not to be kicked out of the house when the new heir arrives to claim his inheritance. She becomes convinced that she can pretend she's pregnant with the dead husband's baby. That turns out to be a bad idea, and upon finding out, our hero decides to marry her off to get her out of his hair. There are growing feelings of attraction between the two, attempts to deny said attraction, a hero that gets all jealous, and a host of other amorous shenanigans, all of which makes this a fun, breezy read.
