Description from the publisher:

Waiting for one’s fiancé to set a date is never fun.  Especially when it has now officially been years.  Particularly when one is a veritable wallflower with little chance of anything better coming along.  More so when said fiancé’s brother is paying particular attention to one’s life and causing all sorts of confusing emotions.

All Miss Augusta Snow wants is for Henry to return home and set the date.  If that means trying as hard as she can to break out of her quiet temperament to gain his attention, then she’ll do her best.

But it seems she’s attracted the wrong brother’s attention…

The brooding Miles Stanton, Viscount Ashwick has always been quietly fascinating to her.  She knows he was a little less than a gentleman in his past but she cannot help be intrigued now that he is showing interest in her wellbeing.

He only intended to protect his brother’s interests…

Miles always had a soft spot for Gus.  However, everyone knew she was meant for his brother and all he wants is for her to be happy—especially with the specters of his past hanging over him and guaranteeing to bring trouble.  He has to protect Augusta from doing something silly and somehow persuade Evan to cease being a fool and return home.

All the while ignoring his feelings for her…

Augusta’s plans to show Henry that she is not just some dull wallflower seemed doomed to fail and now Miles is back in her life and behaving…well…strangely.  She cannot help but wonder if she has been hanging her hopes on the wrong brother this whole time.

MARRIED TO THE LORD is the second book in the Wallflower Brides series.  Each will stand on its own, but I highly recommend reading them all and in the order of release.



I loved reading this story.  I would say it was a slow down and relax type of story, but I still read it in a day.



I loved the way that Miles was always on hand to rescue Augusta “Gus.”  It was sweet, heroic, and perfect.  He saw himself as flawed and his past as an irrevocable barrier, but she found her Prince Charming.  As I’ve always said, “Who wants a knight in shining armor?  They haven’t worked hard enough to earn your trust or your hand.  Give me a knight who has dings and dents!”



Two down and one to go – Chloe and Augusta have found their perfect men, but next will be Joanna.  I’m looking forward to reading about the man who will claim her heart.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
