Publisher's Summary:
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?
Members Reviews:
This was fun!
I liked this book a lot. Clio is a strong, independent woman and Rafe is a strong, very strong, opponent for her. I love their banter and the unfolding relationship.
This has been a great series so far. The characters aren't connected from book to book (at least so far) but I'd love to read Phoebe's story at some point. It would be good to see how she ties up - get it? - her life. Narration was great.
This book gets 4.5 stars from me. Brava, Tessa Dare!
One of my Favorite Authors Does it Again
What made the experience of listening to Say Yes to the Marquess the most enjoyable?
The most enjoyable part of Say Yes to the Marquess is the superb story. As always, Tessa Dare presents the reader with exceedingly relatable characters that you would want to hang out with, swoon over, or kick in the shins. The unique story of a prize-fighting second son who has always been in love with his older brother's betrothed is captivating. The H and h are perfectly imperfect and I love their story so much!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Say Yes to the Marquess?
Well, I don't think I can type it here ;-) It did involve a too tight wedding gown, but not a wedding night...I think my earbuds were steaming!
Which character as performed by Carmen Rose was your favorite?
Probably Chloe was my favorite character Carmen Rose performed.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Don't keep a good girl waiting.
Any additional comments?
Carmen Rose isn't my favorite performer, but she did the book justice. There is nothing wrong with it, it just isn't amazing. Worth a credit, for sure.
My first Tessa Dare miss. I'm so sad.
Vastly, hugely disappointing.
I probably should have given less than 2 stars because I paid a lot of money for the ebook + audiobook and I could barely finish it. I'm utterly devastated because I loved the first in the series, but this was such a let down.
First of all, the plot really made no sense. The whole conflict with Rafe trying to convince Clio to marry his brother though NO ONE wanted that scenario was very weak. I usually think that Tessa Dare does a brilliant job with plotting, but this one dragged with a plot that felt half-hearted. And the whole thing with Rafe prize fighting and being ejected from society, though he was a son of a marquess, also didn't make much sense. It was all such a mess, honestly, and I struggled my way through it.
Clio belonged in a contemporary romance, not a historical romance. The whole book had no bearing on anything historical. Ugh.
The narration was fair at best. I was annoyed at the narrator, and she didn't grow on me like she did in the first book in the series.
I'm telling you, skip right over this one.
