Product Description
Unrepentant rake Rule Dewar is living the excellent life when a most surprising event occurs—he falls in like with his wife.
After their strategic “marriage of commerce” three years ago, Rule reasonably forgot about Violet Griffin, the teenage heiress to a Boston manufacturing chance. He simply spoke his vows, took over her father’s business and returned to England to resume his usual pursuits: high-priced wine, high-stakes gambling and highborn women.
Yet when Violet, now a sophisticated woman, unexpectedly appears at Regulations London town house, husbandly duties no longer seem so odious—he can’t wait to take his stunning bride to their marriage bed. Violet, but, is not so easily led: she has her own thoughts and is seeking an annulment to marry another. But as Rule attempts to win her over, a name else is determined to frame him for murder and keep him out of the way for excellent….

I thought this was the weakest of the 3 in the bride series. The tale was neither here no there it just seemed like Kat Martin ran out of steam with this one. The premise had promise but there wasn’t enough conflict to give the tale any depth.

This the 3rd book in a trilogy about the Dewar brothers. I have not read the first two of the series and did not feel as though I missed out on any of the tale in this book because of it. I also do not feel the need to go back and read the first two, although I want to get to know more about Royal and Reece.
Rule is the youngest of the Dewar brothers. His mother died when he was born, so he has never known a mother and does not know the like of a woman. He enjoys women, but he never plans to like one. He made a business arrangement to marry Violet Griffen to care for her after the death of her father. He left her in Boston while he returned to London. He had promised to returned for her when she was 18, but he did not want to be tied down with a wife, so he let it go longer than he plotted. When she arrives in London a year after he had promised to go to her, he is surprised, but finds her reasonably attractive and plans to take advantage of his husbandly rights. Violet, on the additional hand, has no plans to be his wife, but plans to make a business deal of her own.
I loved the tale of Rule and Violet and their search for what like really means. The juxtaposing of Lucas and Caroline with them was appealing, but I would have liked a bit more from them. I establish myself wanting to read more about both Lucas and Caroline while not being as interested in Rule & Violet. She was a willful character, but I also establish her a bit weak at times. He relationship with Jeffrey was odd and I was a bit frustrated with the development of his tale. Violet should have been a bit more suspicious of him in my opinion.
The plot was well developed, but the character relationships needed a bit more development. Overall, I liked this book and plot on going back and reading the first two books in the series to learn more about Regulations brothers.

I was bitterly disappointed with this book. I was expecting much more from Kat Martin, one of my favorite authors.
The book starts off with a marriage of guilt between Violet and Rule. Her father is dying and wanted to make sure his daughter is taken care of so he offered Rule an incentive to get him to marry her. It was a excellent begining. Then the book moves away from greatness towards “why am I reading this crap”ness.
After 3 years of Rule ignoring Violet, he didn’t even bother going to her when her father died, Violet ventures off to England to take an annulment. Apprently, she is in like with another man and wants to marry him. There, Rule straight away falls in lust with his wife and decides that he’s going to keep her – lacking loving her ofcourse. He fully expects to cheat on her in the future. The only reason he’s even interested in his wife is because he feels bored by the women in London.
Coming back to Violet, Rule guilts her into, by using her father, staying with him for 30 days. Now Violet, who I expected to be brighter, falls for that and agrees. She then turns from a woman who knows her mind into a TSTL heroine who can’t reflect beyond Regulations gorgeousness and goes with everything he says, because well, he’s so handsome. At this point, I place the book down, I was that disgusted!
Violent pretty much turned into an idiot within a few moments of meeting Rule. Here is this supposedly strong and independent woman who ran a company by herself for 3 years and yet when her spouse says jump she says how high.
Moving forwards, she ends up sleeping with him and falling in like with him. He does not reciporcate her feelings. He is then accused of murder and she pretty much does everything she can to catch the real killer and have her spouse come home. After she does, he factually tells her he doesn’t like her and she still doesn’t place.
OMG! Violet pissed me off. I wish her character would have been stronger and much more independent. I wish she had a brain.
I do not recommend buying this book, its not worth it. Your better off not reading it but if you have to, get it from the library.

In 1857 Boston, visiting Londoner Lord Rule Dewar agreed to marry the teenage daughter of Howard Griffin, owner of Griffin Manufacturing. The deal was pure economics as sixteen year ancient Violet gets a title and the man she has a schoolgirl crush on and Rule gets a gun manufacturing firm. He returned home to a life of much greater affluent dishonesty while she remained in New England.
Three years later Violet arrives unannounced in London to demand Rule agree to an annulment. Attracted to his feisty gorgeous American wife, he wants to consummate their marriage, which he failed to do when they exchanged I do. She insists she has a name else in mind for her marriage bed. Falling in like, Rule persuades her to give him one month to prove they belong together as a pleased married couple; if she still wants the annulment he will grant it lacking an argument. As he courts his wife, who has loved him since he came to her home in Boston, a name wants the pair kept apart and a murder is an acceptable means to achieve that end.
The final R. Dewar’s Bride past romance (see Royal’s Bride and Reese’s Bride) is an enjoyable Victorian romance starring a married couple beginning their courtship three years after they wed. Although the marriage of economic convenience is an very ancient standby of the past sub-genre, Kat Martin refreshes it with her lead couple as she wants a first chance while his wife prefers a different chance with a name else. Readers will delight in the intelligent tale as Rule has a climb privileged than Huge Ben to get out of the hole he is in when it comes to winning his wife’s respect though he has her like.
