Say Yes to the Marquess

Castles Ever After

By: Tessa Dare

Narrated by: Carmen Rose

USA Today Bestseller

Your presence is requested at romantic Twill Castle for the wedding of Miss Clio Whitmore and . . . and . . . ?

After eight years of waiting for Piers Brandon, the wandering Marquess of Granville, to set a wedding date, Clio Whitmore has had enough. She's inherited a castle, scraped together some pride, and made plans to break her engagement.

Not if Rafe Brandon can help it. A ruthless prizefighter and notorious rake, Rafe is determined that Clio will marry his brother—even if he has to plan the dratted wedding himself.

So how does a hardened fighter cure a reluctant bride's cold feet?

• He starts with flowers. Ladies can't have too many flowers. Or harps. Or cakes.

• He lets her know she'll make a beautiful, desirable bride— and tries not to picture her as his.

• He doesn't kiss her.

• If he kisses her, he definitely doesn't kiss her again.

• When all else fails, he puts her in a stunning gown and vows not to be nearby when the gown comes off.

• And no matter what—he doesn't fall in disastrous, hopeless love with the one woman he can never call his own.

Sweet, fun story

I really like this series -- don't worry it can be read/listened to individually. The reader is fine, if a bit breathy and not always consistent with the voice chosen for the characters.

So don't be turned off by the narrator.

As I am sure the author intended, some of the supporting characters are just not likeable. The heroine grows on one, as does the hero.

Truly, it's well worth the credit, especially if you're a Tessa Dare fan..

Say Yes!

I'm in love with my fiancé brother 😉.
This was another Tessa Dare hit.
Narration was great...

Good story!

I liked three changes Cleo and Rafe individually went through in this story. Actually, Cleo and Rafe both had very low self -esteem because of s similar ways their family's had treated them. She was constantly told by her mother and other family members that she was too fat, and he was told by his father that he was no good, and constantly unfavorably compared to his brother, too! I was amazed with the patience Cleo displayed with Rafe! And when his older brother finally comes home after 8 years with no word to anyone, I can't see how he would expect his fiancé (Cleo) would be waiting for him ( which she wasn't). But both Cleo and Rafe had each gained enough courage to be able to face the brother and tell him that he was to late. I liked the surprise ending to of Cleo getting E as fe a bulldog puppy, rather than being pregnant - which is the predictable ending!

amazing book!

i love this book and the reader brings it to life it is a love story with so many twists

Read WAY too slowly

The slow pace completely ruined the book. i kept falling asleep. seriously, like a funeral dirge minus the melody.
