A Most Unsuitable Groom (The Beckets of Romney Marsh, #4)

by Kasey Michaels

BEWARE THE BRIDEGROOM...

Hot-blooded Spencer Becket went off to war in America, full of passion and young ideals, only to return older, wiser and with part of his memory missing.

BEWARE THE BRIDE...

Fiery Mariah Rutledge arrived at Becket Hall one stormy night, heavy with child and more than willing to refresh Spencer's lost memory.

BEWARE THE BATTLE...

Forced to the altar, Spencer and Mariah have little time to explore their attraction before they uncover a plot to restore the recently vanquished Napoleon to power in a most unusual -and deadly -way.

Bound by the secrets that keep the Beckets safe from harm, Spencer and Mariah must battle the world and their own devils in order to prevent a tragedy...but what will be the price of their victory?

Spencer Becket went to war in America, getting caught in the American War of Independence and he came back battered and bruised and with a section of time missing due to injuries. He wonders what happened during that time but is reassured that this isn't all bad as he brought with him two men who are quite fond of him.

They aren't too surprised when they see Mariah Rutledge again, Spencer remembers some details about her, but they are all surprised when they realise that she's heavily pregnant.

Marriage follows but so does the intrigue and mystery of a plot to bring down England. A plot they feel they have to do something about. The past is coming to haunt them and to involve another person.

Mariah is a great character, full of vim and vigour and more used to a life on an outpost rather than the staid life in England. She made the book for me. Spencer wasn't as strong a hold.
