The Scarlet Bride School for Brides Book 3 Cheryl Ann Smith 9780425250815 Books Reviews

Loved the book, characters and the story! Simon rescues a woman who he finds out was running from her captive of more than a year. He brings her the Ms. Eva’s school to give her a place to stay. Laura is grateful of everything Simon has done for her. Laura’s alter ego Sabine is wanted in her captures murder even though she is innocent. When she has a feeling of being watched and stalked Simon asks his friend the Duke and Investigator Crawford to help weed out the killer. A thrilling read with a wonderful ending!
Simon Harrington hears a woman cry and sees two footmen accost a female. He rescues Laura and takes her to a home where sisters Eva and Noelle sponsor a school to rescue courtesans. Laura fears her patron Earl of Westwick who held her prisoner for fourteen months in a locked room while torturing her; she expects him to kill her. He was selling Sabine as he called her at an auction when she escaped.

Two weeks later, Laura feels good as her enemy has not found her. Simon asks her to come help him decorate an estate he just bought. She agrees but is shocked as the estate was owned by her cousin and she and her late dad lived there. She even married here but her husband said they never wed as the parson was a fake. He used her as his sex prisoner. Simon admires Laura's spirit that was not broken. A storm forces them to spend the night there. Laura and Simon make love. Later Laura learns Westwick was murdered allegedly by his missing courtesan Sabine. Simon plans to find the real killer.

The third School for Brides Regency romance (see An Accidental Courtesan) nicely sets the time and place mostly through how much power a male exerts over a female. The heroine is a courageous person who suffered terrible abuse, but never lost her spirit; while the lead male is a strong person. Although the killer gets in and out of secure places too easily and two early major coincidences involving random encounters seem improbable, fans will appreciate this investigative historical thriller.

Harriet Klausner
This book did one thing I have trouble forgiving, especially in romance.

This heroine was Too Stupid To Live. Certainly she experienced hardships. The man who made her his "courtesan" by exploiting her and tricking her father into putting her into his care was an awful person who did deserve to be punished (although by murder in this case, which may have been a trifle abrupt, and possibly harsh). But she just... wasn't very bright. She put herself and others in danger, waffling back and forth over what was best to do ("I'm being targeted at the school! Your house is safer. Anyway, back to the school!" --Not exactly, but close enough.)

The hero was okay. He wasn't extraordinary, but he wasn't really a jerk either.

The villain? The villain was a bit demented, and their reasoning was a bit flawed in my opinion. But, whatever. The threat of the villain moved the plot along a bit.

I'd give this book one star if it wasn't for the fact that I had to keep reading to find out just why the villain did what the villain did. I didn't care about Laura, or very much about Simon. I liked Simon's sister. She amused me, although I'm not sure I want to read her story when it will likely have Simon and Laura in it to muddle things up.

So, two stars. I didn't really like it, but I did finish it, and I didn't hate it. I just wish Laura had had half a brain.
Loved it. This author doesn't bore the reader with flowery descriptions. She gets right to the meat of the characters.
The Scarlet Bride was written very well and was most enjoyable to read. The idea was slightly different from many other books of this genre. It was, however, fun to read.
