Overview

He's on the hunt for a bride . . .

Adam Faramond, Earl of Rothbury, needs to find a wife—immediately!—or his beloved grandmother will leave him penniless. But Adam, an unrepentant rake, would reform for only one woman, the woman he's lusted after—and loved—for years. It's rather unfortunate, then, that Miss Charlotte Greene would never consent to be the blushing bride of a rogue . . . or so he thinks.

Charlotte believes that the earl, the only man whose touch leaves her trembling, would never want a woman like her. Weary of her wallflower ways, Charlotte decides that a friendship with the earl just might give her the excitement she desires. Keeping their true feelings hidden, she and Adam plan a sham ceremony to placate the dowager. But when the "marriage of convenience" takes an unexpected turn, will Charlotte and her wicked earl finally reveal their irresistible, unforgettable love—and delight in a lifetime of passion?

Editorial Reviews

Fresh Fiction

Ms. Parker has written a delightful read with sparkling characters, especially Charlotte. She is a riot with her witty and clever conversations with herself. Then add the dialogue between Charlotte and Adam and a slightly nutty grandmother and you have a winning combination.

Meet the Author

At eight years old, Olivia Parker wrote her first romance with a fat red marker. It made one's eyes hurt to read it, but it did have a tortured hero. Since then, she's dedicated her efforts to improving her craft (now using pencils) and divides her time among her love of writing, reading, and relaxing with her family. She currently resides in northern Ohio with her husband, three children, a border collie, and a cockatiel, who eats a worrisome amount of popcorn.

Read an Excerpt

To Wed a Wicked Earl

Chapter One

A Gentleman never hesitates to
rescue a Lady.
The Bride Hunt Ball, Castle Wolverest
August 1813

"My word, child. You look lovely this evening."

Miss Charlotte Greene leveled a blank stare at Viscount Witherby. She should smile, to be polite of course, but her lips wouldn't budge. So instead she simply murmured, "You are much too kind, my lord."

"Kindness has little to do with it." His broad, nearly connected white eyebrows waggled as his greedy gaze swept over her bodice. "I say, you are a temptress," he hissed in a raspy whisper, most likely so her mother wouldn't overhear.

Giving a distracted nod in acknowledgment of the absurd compliment, Charlotte pressed her lips together, suppressing a smile. The balding, elderly viscount might mistakenly consider it encouragement.

"Will you do me the honor of a dance in this next set?" he asked her bosom.

Absolutely not! she wanted to shout. Her proper upbringing, of course, kept the thought from tumbling past her lips, but just barely. Taking a measured breath, she scrambled to find a suitable response.

At her hesitation, his bushy brows raised in haughty disbelief. Truly, if he had half as much hair on his head as he did on his eyebrows, he'd have quite the coiffure.

"Ah, I mean to rest for the time being, my lord," she managed, watching the viscount's spine stiffen as she spoke. "However, I do thank you."

As her mother stepped closer beside her, Charlotte heard her frustrated sigh.

Apparently, Charlotte should have been eager for hisattentions, or any attention for that matter, considering her well-known wallflower status. However, Charlotte just couldn't summon the required gratitude.

"You'll have to excuse my daughter," her mother interjected. "She's just being shy."

Charlotte inwardly cringed at her mother's muttered excuse. Shy? Why did that word always rankle her? Her mother's well-meaning conciliations never failed to make her feel like a girl of seven. Still, the fact remained that being accursedly timid around men had little to do with it. The real reason she refused to dance this evening was simply that no one had asked her.

Well... no one who wasn't foxed, looking for a victim to grope, or old enough to be her grandfather. Or all three as was the case with Viscount Witherby.

Even so, Charlotte hadn't the time to wallow in self-pity. It was nearly midnight, and if her calculations were correct, a long-awaited dream of hers was about to come to fruition.

She just might find herself engaged to none other than Lord Tristan Devine.

As luck would have it—though there were those who thought it was more of a miracle—Charlotte had been selected to participate in the Duke of Wolverest's bride hunt for his younger brother, a man she had been enamored of for so long—ever since that fateful day when he had rescued her mother and herself from their mangled carriage. Since then, she had been completely, irrevocably besotted.

She bit her lip, thinking of the other bride hopefuls and wondering again of her chances. Besides herself, there was her friend Madelyn Haywood (who Charlotte suspected would soon marry Lord Tristan's brother, the duke, instead), the Fairbourne twins, and Harriet Beauchamp. Out of all of them, Miss Beauchamp was her only real competitor, as the twins had their eyes on Madelyn's duke.

A waltz would be played next, and then the remaining women would line up at the north end of the room to await his decision.

Charlotte's heart hammered inside her chest. It was almost time.

Thankfully, Witherby decided to leave Charlotte to her musings. He offered his arm to her mother, who clutched at it as she often did when her rheumatism ailed her. "Good luck to you, my dearest," Hyacinth Greene said quietly for Charlotte's ears only. "If he has any sense in that handsome head of his, he'll make the right decision."

Charlotte gave her mother a small smile as the pair tottered off to a settee set against the wall, her mother throwing Charlotte an encouraging grin from over her shoulder.

A shaky sigh escaped her. Surely, Lord Tristan would pick her.

Just the night before, he had pulled her aside after dinner and told her that she was a cut above the others. He told her she was the only genuine one of the lot and that if he truly had to spend the rest of his life with any of them, it would be her.

Certainly, he must have been sincere? But if she was so certain, why did she feel overcome with doubt?

Perhaps because his words, however pleasing for her to hear, sounded a bit rehearsed.

She blinked out of her musings when she noticed a man walking purposefully toward her. She squinted, willing her eyes to focus. Tall, raven-haired, and just a bit of a swagger. Lord Tristan.

She needed to pinch herself. Was she really here, in his ancestral home, waiting for his proposal? It was all so terribly romantic... even if it was a scandalous way to find a bride.

"Good evening, Miss Greene," he said with a smile, holding out his hand.

She took it without caring where he was going to take her. He led her to the middle of the ballroom, her feet having no need for the glossy parquet floor, for she was surely floating.

A charming tale

This was a worthy follow-up to the "At the Bride Hunt Ball". Again the focus is on emotional development of the characters. They arrive at their happy ending through love, trust, and some hard work.

witty romance

I loved this book. Ver lighthearted and witty. It was nice to see the hero longing for a woman he couldn't have and what he does to get her. The whole book was a lot of fun. A really good Saturday afternoon read. I will have to find the first in the series(at least I hope it is a series) Bride Hunt Ball. Can''t wait for Rosiland's story.

The latest AT THE BRIDE HUNT BALL Regency romance is a fun tale

In 1813 Adam Faraday has been a rake forever. Now he needs a bride or he must face the wrath of his dowager grandmother, who will cut off his funds and part of his anatomy. Surprisingly to everyone who assumes him to be a womanizer, he wants one woman, shy Lady Charlotte Greene. He has loved for years though he has hidden his feelings from everyone especially her because she would never settle for a rogue like him.

Charlotte decides she wants Lord Tristan as her husband, but "men never make passes at girls who wear glasses" (Dorothy Parker - the perfect surname). Instead, the wallflower climbs into Adam's bedroom to enlist her best friend's help in her husband campaign though he is the one she truly desires. He agrees to pretend to desire her to make Tristan jealous. Adam asks her to help him survive his grandma by pretending to be his intended wife though he intends to make it happen for real; she also wants him to make it happen for real.

The latest AT THE BRIDE HUNT BALL Regency romance is a fun tale as Charlotte comes out of her web seeking a husband in a comedy of errors as she and Adam hide their feelings behind a not so subtle pretence. The story line is fast-paced from the onset as the lead couple sham a relationship that everyone buys into as they have the look of love is in their eyes. Fans will enjoy returning to the Bride Hunt Ball for the entertaining second card.

I thought is was a good read. I like the characters, It was an enjoyable read. I thought the author did a good job making the time period realistic. The romance was hot and senual and steamy, everything a girl could want in a romance novel.

Quick lighthearted read

This was a first time author for me. I enjoyed it as a witty quick read compared to the heavier, intense books I usually read. The H/H had constant miscommunications of their feelings, but it was humorous to follow their relationaship. I prefer stronger sense of sexual tention than was found in this story. Sex is late in the book and I felt is was a rushed attempt to get it in before the story ended. If you are in the mood for a quick read that will make for smile, this is a good effort.

A most satisfying next book that picks up on Charlotte Greene's dashed hopes at the infamous bride hunt ball and the notorious rake Adam Faramond, the Earl of Rothbury coming to her rescue with a waltz.

For years Rothbury has kept his eye on Charlotte, seeing her beauty, goodness, and offbeat charm. They're each trying to shake off the ton's view of them: she the clumsy wallflower and he the seductive rake. And unbelievably they become friends; both able to speak to each other easily, which puts great strains on Rothbury's control and Charlotte's growing fascination with him. The catalyst is Rothbury's aunt whose loony behavior - and confidential conversations in French (which Charlotte understands) - contrives a false/real secret marriage between them. His wish come true - Charlotte as his wife - enables Rothbury to shed his rake's image once and for all and Charlotte to shed her wallflower cocoon and emerge as a gorgeous butterfly.
