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. Inviting the ton's most eligible ladies to an elegant ball, Gabriel is certain any one of them would be all too eager to become the next duchess and provide an heir—leaving Gabriel to continue his ecstatic pursuit of pleasure.

To Catch a Rogue . . .

Her social-climbing stepmother would give anything to have Madelyn Haywood betrothed to a future duke. But Madelyn believes the brothers Devine to be nothing more than heartless rogues—especially Gabriel, whose rakish reputation precedes him. 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 . . .

At The Bride Hunt Ball is a regency romance by Olivia Parker. I was reading an article about the funniest Regency romances and came across Parker’s book. I am so glad that I checked it out from my library. This book is hilarious. It has everything a romance enthusiast demands – romance, steam, humor, and beautiful characters. I have since read all three of her books in this series and have enjoyed them all. But this one is my favorite, and I am sure I will be rereading it soon.
