The Convict's Bounty Bride (Convict)

by Lena Dowling

Life as a convict in an Australian penal colony was brutal, but James Hunter had the advantages of raw physical strength and courage on his side. He survived, and now he is back; a self–made man of means, determined to take the bride he was promised.

Lady Thea Willers knows nothing of the bargain her father made to save her brother, nor does she have any interest in marriage. It might be a radical idea, but what Thea wants is a career.

The revelation that her brother's liberty depends on her marrying James Hunter is devastating. But nothing, it seems, has the power to shake Thea's world upside down like James himself, or the way he makes her feel.

Reviews

[EBookObsessed]

Warning - This is only a short story. The biggest downfall of an eReader is unless you specifically check first, you I don't how many pages are in a book.

Why am I so cranky? I was truly enjoying this story. I really liked these main characters and I couldn't wait to see what adventure awaited them in Australia. She was spirited and intelligent and although he just wanted to claim the bride promised to him for her social standing, he liked the woman he met and believed she would be a great asset to him as a wife in his farm in Australia. I could see the affections growing between them. I was trying to imagine what scenario's awaited when they returned to Australia. So imagine my disappointment when I go refill my coffee before we start to get into some good storytelling, then I sit back down and try and turn the page, and there's no more!!

What I have to say to Lena Dowling is please go back and finish. Please. I want more!

This was a enjoyable story but beware as soon as you start getting into it, it will be over.
