The Bride Said No

The Bride Said No is a romance that has an absolute English feel to it. The story line is very good. The prospective bride flees on her wedding day because she comes to suspect that the man she's about to marry has rather mercenary intentions in mind and doesn't really love her. However, she is soon found from her hide out and is forced to go through the wedding and then off to her honeymoon. The bride says No to the consummation of marriage. As a result, the honeymoon is fraught with sexual tension. This central part where open antagonism battles with sexual frustration is truly enjoyable. And the ending is a little toned down but very charming. I gave it five stars.
