Summary: Real Love Story That Overcomes All Odds
Comment: This book was an excellent follow up to "The Hostage Bride" The relationship between Cato and the dowdy Phoebe was one that keeps the reader enthralled because it isn't the steriotypical love story, Phoebe isn't perfect-far from it actually- but her warm heart and determination allow her to enter Cato's heart. At first it seems as if there is no way that Cato could truly care for the "ragged robin" but this story shows how feelings can be changed when met with fate. Phoebe's refuses to be the submissive bride to the overpowering Cato, she follows her heart no matter how it may defy her husband, and nobody has challenged him before, especially not a woman. Not only is the romance captivating but the historical aspect of the civil war in the 1600's thickens the plot: war, love, lust, with the struggle to defeat or not be taken down by manipulating evil Brian Morse...all intertwined into a literary masterpiece, I can't wait to read about Olivia in the third book of Jane Feather's Brides trilogy!

Summary: Brilliant Book
Comment: This was the first book I ever read by Jane Feather and it hooked me from the word go. I loved watching the relationship between the strong-willed Cato and the always ragged Phoebe grow as the story progressed. It was great seeing Phoebe try to shake free of the stereotypical mold of a what a wife should be, and try to make her marriage to Cato an equal partnership.
I enjoyed seeing Phoebe deciding that she wanted a proper marriage to Cato, with all the intimacies that included, and so the love scenes were brilliant.
Poor Cato didn't quite know how to take the fact that Phoebe was supposedly barren, and some of the little conversations he has with himself about it are rather funny.
I would reccommend this book to any romance reader, or anyone wanting to venture into the world of romance.

Summary: Not what I expected.....
Comment: "The Accidental Bride" is a book that had fantastic potential, but I'm sorry to say it didnt quite live up to it. I absolutely loved the character of Phoebe..she was someone that I would love to have as a friend. I enjoyed Cato as well, however, I found myself wanting to shake him due to his sometimes maddening unresponsiveness. This book could have easily earned 4 stars from me, but I felt that there needed to be more emphasis on their relationship and not so much on the surrounding storyline...I also found it somewhat disturbing that Cato was Olivia's father....that would make Phoebe her stepmother... Anyways...not a bad book, but I wouldnt necessarily recommend it.
