The Reluctant Bride by Monica Murphy is book one in the Wedded Bliss Trilogy. This book is part of the Midnight Dynasty world. It's not necessary to read any other books before starting this book though. The Reluctant Bride is an arranged marriage trope. Charlotte Lancaster and Perry Constantine are being forced to get married by their families. At first they are both against the marriage and do not want to do it but after meeting each other the idea of marrying each other doesn't seem so bad. I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read the next book to see what happens next with Charlotte and Perry. The Wedded Bliss Trilogy is complete and currently The Reluctant Bride is free on the kindle app. I purchased this book when it first came out because I love Monica's writing but I waited to start reading until all books were out. I would rate this with 4 stars!
Favorite Excerpt:
“He will never speak to you like that again once you become my wife,” I say, my voice firm. She stares at me, her lips parted. “What? I won’t let him, Charlotte. If he so much as lays one finger on you, I’ll break it. I’ll break all of them if I have to.”
“But I’m his daughter,” she reminds me.
“And you’ll be my wife. You’ll belong to me.” I pull her to me, slipping my other arm around her waist, my mouth at her temple as I whisper, “I don’t care if he’s your father. No one hurts what’s mine. Do you understand?”
