Child Bride
Annie Wells travels to dusty Wyoming in search of bounty hunter Chase Beaudine, the man who saved her life—and whom she hasn’t seen since the night they were married five years ago
The first in Suzanne Forster’s Stealth Commandos trilogy, Child Bride recounts bounty hunter Chase Beaudine’s reunion with Annie Wells, a red-haired and cream-complexioned beauty from his past. When the two cross paths on the dusty steppes of Wyoming, “I’m your wife,” is not what Chase expects her to say by way of greeting.
Though Chase has no recollection of Annie and their alleged marriage, her story contains undeniable truths. When she collapses from heatstroke, he has no choice but to bring her back to his cabin. As Annie lies unconscious, Chase can’t deny his swiftly mounting desire, watching her pillowy breasts undulate in rhythm with her shortened breaths. Despite her innocence and inexperience, Annie is determined to jog his memory no matter what it takes.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Suzanne Forster including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

About the author
Suzanne Forster
62 books51 followersNew York Times and USA Today best-selling author Suzanne Forster is living proof of William Shakespeare’s maxim that the uses of adversity are sweet. Suzanne’s writing career began by accident. Literally. A car accident ended her dreams for a career in clinical psychology. During her recovery, she began writing to fill the hours, and before she was well enough to return to graduate school, she’d sold her first book and launched a new career.
Since then Suzanne has written more than thirty novels and been the recipient of countless awards, including The National Readers’ Choice Award for Shameless, her mainstream debut. She’s received recognition for outstanding sales from Waldenbooks and Bookrak, and her recent novel, Unfinished Business, was made into a movie for the Oxygen Network.
Suzanne has a Master’s Degree in Writing Popular Fiction, and she teaches and lectures frequently. Her seminars on Women's Contemporary Fiction at UCLA and UC Riverside were rated outstanding, and her most requested workshop, "The High-Concept Synopsis," is based on personal experience. Her breakout novel, Shameless, sold on a synopsis that triggered a bidding war and garnered her a six-figure contract.
Suzanne has received considerable media attention, including a feature segment on Extra, NBC's news and entertainment magazine, and an Emmy Award–winning "Special Report" on CBS Channel 23 News. Her many print appearances include the L.A. Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Redbook and Orange Coast Magazine

"Child Bride" is the story of Annie and Chase.
Basically our adult hero marries a 16 year old heroine years ago to save her from a fate worse than death and to give her citizenship. But he does it under the delirious influence of fever and somehow erases it from his brain.
Now he's a gunslinger and the heroine re-enters his life, claiming to be his wife and he's like "are you sure" and she's like "yup" and he's like "nah".
This was 300 pages of the hero pushing away, acting like a douche, being insensitive and having a big dick while the heroine acts like a doormat and takes everything because of lurrrveee.
A fatal case of hero worship was this mess.

- All good things come to those who wait.
- Machinery can't compete with the human spirit.The Unconquerable Soul. If it weren't for perseverance, the snail wouldn't have made it to the ark.
- Living is like licking honey off a thorn.
- She knew there a time when you had to let go of things beyond your control. Holding on to what was hopeless only compounded the pain for everyone concerned.
- There were people who couldn't love you back, no matter how much you loved them. They were incapable. Some dislocation, some fundamental betrayal of trust, had forced them forever off the path of normal relationships.
- Anything can work if you're willing to fight for it. If you want it badly enough.

This was really different and I enjoyed it. Lady goes looking for her husband that she married when she was a very young girl. He was undercover and married her to save her life. Now we go through all that happens to her after they were separated and he loses his memory.
Same story with a different twist. The first in a series of three. Wonder if I can find the other books.

It was a typical love story....kind of frustrating at times because she didn't speak up...enjoyed it, glad they ended up together.

I'm actually embarrassed I read this, lol, but it was a daily deal I'd bought a year or so ago. Nice following Defending Jacob.
