A big disappointment, April 11 2001
This review is from: Fairy Tale Bride Once Upon A Wedding (Paperback)
Based on the other reviews, my expectations were high. I'm sorry to say I was very disappointed. The first part where Miranda is "ruined" is truly unbelievable. When Miranda and the Duke meet again five years later, there seems to be a lot of missing information. I thought there was a chapter missing. Then, the rest of the action is either predictable or far-fetched. I've read Romance for 30+ years, and I could barely finish this book. I'm sorry to say this, since I always am on the lookout for a new author and a new plot twist.

A scandalous secret comes between a duke and his new duchess, Nov 1 2000
This review is from: Fairy Tale Bride Once Upon A Wedding (Paperback)
The Duke of Kerstone had planned on offering for Miranda Fenster five years ago...until his mother revealed a scandalous secret that made him determined to remain childless.
Then their paths crossed again, and he found himself offering to marry her after all in an effort to protect her reputation. He was looking forward to the joys of married life...until his mother reminded him of the family secret and the importance of not continuing the family line. Now he found himself living a tortured existence...denying his own desire to consummate his marriage and trying to explain his decision to his loving and eager new wife.
Miranda is determined to get past her husband's defenses, although she doesn't know exactly what the problem is. She does know, however, that her mother-in-law is the key to the solution. Miranda, alway a strong believer in the happy-ever-after ending, must somehow convince the Dowager Duchess to tell the truth and free her son from the bitterness that controls him. But what if--in this case--the truth only makes the situation more hopeless?
One of the most thrilling romances I have read recently, The Fairy Tale Bride will keep you turning the pages in eager anticipation. I am also eagerly anticipating the sequels that must surely be planned to relate the marriages of Miranda's many deserving siblings.

Miranda Fenster's ability to envision a happy ending in every situation is inspiring. The glimpses of Miranda's siblings leave the reader waiting for the next book in the series.
