The Bride Thief is no different. It is 12:26 am and I could not put it down. The story is about an on the shelf young woman named Samantha, Sammie, who is a little eccentric by the standards of others. She likes science (not so weird) and critters like snakes (ew!) And she is not as beautiful as her other three sisters. Her parents want her to marry this yahoo, whose name I cannot recall Captain...we'll call him Captain Jerk-off. Anyways, Sammie wants nothing to do with guy and convinces him that he wants nothing to do with her but before she can get home to tell her family! Sigh...she is abducted (doncha just love when there is an abduction?) by the Bride Thief.
Enter Eric "Sexy Pants" Landsdowne, Earl of Wessley, a.k.a. the bride thief. But no one knows this so keep it on the D.L. So he is captivated by her and lets her go, only to find he can't stop thinking about her. She they meet up again and they start to like each other more and more. But there is the issue of the Bride Thief and the ever increasing public cry to see him hanged...and the ever-growing reward for his capture! Exciting, huh?
I really liked the book a lot. Definitely worth reading. I had one issue, which was the letter thing they did. He kept saying things like, and I am making up these words-but you get the idea, beautiful-brilliant-blushing--so many "b" words to describe you. Each time it would be a different letter. After a while I kept thinking about Sesame Street. "The letter of the day is...B!" Granted this version of Sesame Street would be R...if not X, (if you know what I'm sayin') but nonetheless. A few too many times to be just cute...walking the line to cheesy.
But I still loved it. You should definitely check it out if you haven't already. It's sweet and endearing. You'll like it! I promise ;)
(I gave this book 4 out of 5 hearts)
