Married in Haste

Critic reviews

"Maxwell...makes good use of her trademark clean, crisp prose style, weaving a reverse gift-of-the-magi tale set in the Black Mountains of Wales and starring two engaging and lusty protagonists." (Publishers Weekly)

Lovely story great narration

Excellent writing with wonderful characters and interesting story. The narrator is also very good and enhances the experience

Nice reliable historical romance.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

An enjoyable evening spent listening to the book, nice narrator. I won't say it is the most memorable, but light and breezy.

Happy ending

I hated Tess’s attitude but towards the end she came around. I love happy endings and some future details. Well done!

Fun love story!

This is a very fun love story starter out of dark secrets & deceit. Then blossoms into a true love story after facing the truth to one another & working hard to make their dreams come true.

One of the better romances & has a storyline

This is one of the more intelligent romances that I've listened to lately - a novel with a story that can stand on its own if the sexy bits are removed, Very pleasant story and nicely read. The intro worried me as it was read with an American accent, but the actual story was read with an English accent, so I was relieved. I also enjoyed the setting and Welsh characters.
