He saved her life... When Annalise Hadley is tossed over the side of her honeymoon barge, the newly minted duchess knows she's been left for dead--for her husband's only interest is in her vast dowry, not her muddied lineage. However, she didn't count on a savior. Especially not an honorable, sinfully intriguing earl who will tempt her to risk everything--again. Now he will seduce her heart and soul. A man with his own demons, Owen Crawford, the reclusive Earl of McDowell, is enchanted by the mysterious, courageous woman he rescued. He will help her heal, teach her to protect herself, and then send her away--so that she'll never see he's far from the hero she believes him to be. But days and nights alone prove that some secrets are meant to be discovered...some desires are too powerful to resist...and some wounds can be healed only by love.nbsp;… (meer)

Mostly enjoyable read with a great beginning. I began to be distracted when Annalise had been recuperating for weeks and never had one thought about her villainous husband getting away with murder (so he thinks)and spending the huge dowry she had and what about letting her father know that the husband tried to kill her. That little voice in my head just kept getting louder and louder. Later, we know that somehow the villain is going to come to an end but how the author did it seemed unbelievable to me. 3.5/5 stars.

How to Lose a Bride in One Night
4.5 Stars

Left for dead by her murderous new husband, Annalise Hadley is saved by a complete stranger. Owen Crawford, the tormented Earl of McDowell feels honor bound to care for the young women until she is recovered. But Anna's courage and passion slowly work their magic, and Owen realizes that she is the only one who can ease his tortured soul.

After the disappointment of the 2nd book in the series (the first is fantastic), my expectations for this final installment were lower. Not only does it lives up to these expectations, but it exceeds them on all accounts - the characters, the romance and the storyline.

Annalise is a wonderful heroine. Her strength and resilience in the aftermath of her despicable husband's vicious attack are inspiring and her ability to see beyond Owen's reticence to the damaged yet honorable man beneath is admirable.

As anyone who reads my reviews knows, I have a huge thing for tortured heroes and Owen is no exception. A former sharpshooter during the Sepoy uprising, Owen is suffering from PTSD and views himself as unworthy of life and love. Nevertheless, Owen's nobility is evident from beginning to end as he not only saves Annalise's life, but provides her with the environment necessary for her spirit to thrive.

Annalise and Owen's chemistry is tangible. Their verbal sparring and the slow burn of their romance is captivating.

Although the dreaded secret keeping trope is key to the plot, it never results in the annoying angst that often accompanies it as Owen suspects that Annalise has a past that she is afraid to speak of, and is willing to wait for her to trust him enough to reveal it.

One or two issues do mar an otherwise perfect romance. The resolution to the homicidal husband plot thread is rather contrived and not as satisfying as it could have been. Moreover, the book is in dire need of an epilogue. Nevertheless, How to Lose A Bride in One Night is an wonderful story of two lost and lonely people who find each other, and I am looking forward to reading more of Sophie Jordan's works. ( )

Enjoyable fluff. Not any different from every other Regency romance. That is sort of what makes these enjoyable. A guaranteed HEA. ( )

“How To Lose a Bride In One Night” by Sophie Jordan was a fairly good book. It is a Regency novel set in England of course. The “bride” Annalise Hadley has married a man that her estranged father picked for his title and fortune. However, on their wedding night, her new groom tries to kill her by smothering her and then throws her over the side of the wedding barge.

Owen, the Earl of McDowell, a soldier returned from war, finds her in the river. She is very ill. He finds a Gypsy band that takes her in and nurses her back to health. Owen stays with her and when she is well takes her to his home. She pretends amnesia so that she doesn’t have to tell him about her “marriage”. The rest of the story tells how Annalise and Owen fight their attraction for one another. He, because of his past tries not to care for her; and she, because of her past and her marriage tries not to care for him. I think you will enjoy this book.

I was sent this Kindle book from the publisher, Avon, and from Night Owl Reviews for my honest review.
