Winnifred Humphries refuses to marry for anything but love. She certainly won’t marry the man her parents have chosen for her. Asher Holt just wants to be free of his father’s debts. When their worlds collide, they embark on a journey that just might lead to true love.

This was one of my most anticipated novels of 2020, and it did not disappoint! Despite his faults, Asher was such a good guy and it was easy to love him. He spent much of his time with Winnie trying to show her what a beautiful woman she is. He also tried to prove that he’s not just his father’s actions. I loved Winnie, too, and her absolute refusal to settle just to make her parents happy. She had some body image issues, but they didn’t override the fun of the story and she was able to come to love her body. As a plus-size woman, I related to this so much.

Speaking of Winnie’s parents, I really enjoyed the subplot involving them. So often in historical romances the parents can be nasty pieces of work and we never really find out why. Julian and Imogene weren’t nasty by any means but it was still nice to see what motivated them, especially after Winnie disappears in LORD HOLT TAKES A BRIDE.

The absolute best part of this title was all the action that happened. From the moment Winnie jumps into Asher’s carriage by mistake until the end, something was always happening. My only problem with this was that it made it so hard to put this title down. I absolutely love historical romances but sometimes it’s a pleasure to get out of ballrooms and drawing rooms and read about the hero and heroine going on an adventure.

LORD HOLT TAKES A BRIDEwas such a joy to read and I can’t wait for the next title in the series!!
