نبذة الناشر:
-لا...
خرجت هذه الكلمة بقسوة وحشية فقطعت سؤال الكاهن وحلّ محله الصمت الذي أطبق على الحاضرين.
عاد الكاهن يقول: "إيدان؟ هل تقبل بإينديا زوجة لك؟.."
-لا...
وقعت هذه الكلمة كالصاعقة على رأس إينديا... لا يعقل أنه قال "لا"!...
-لا يمكن أن تعني...
انقضت يده عليها بسرعة يجذبها بعنف وقسوة:
-لا... لن أتزوج بك في السراء وفي الضراء، في الصحة وفي المرض، في الغنى وفي الفقر...
وخرج إيدان وولف من حياة العروس المحطة بدون اكتراث كمن يدوس زهرة مرمية... وكما رحل، عاد... بعد سنة. فخبأت إينديا دموع الذل في عينيها خلف ستار اللامبالاة، لن تكون لعبة سهلة هذه المرة. لكن إيدان ما زال يسعى للانتقام، والثمن الذي ستدفعه الآن سيكون أكبر...

About the author
Kate Walker
496 books148 followersI was born in Nottinghamshire, England, but I didn't live there for very long. The family moved to West Yorkshire when I was just eighteen months old and so I have always regarded Yorkshire as my home. I grew up there as the middle child in a family of five—all girls—in a home where books were vitally important and I read anything I could get my hands on.
Even before I could write I was making up stories. My mother tells the story of me recounting the tale of the Three Little Raindrops — Drippy, Droppy and Droopy to my two younger sisters when I was four. I can't remember a time when I wasn't scribbling away at something, and I wrote my first 'book' when I was eleven, an adventure story, most of it in secret in lessons at school—particularly maths lessons, which I hated.
But everyone, particularly teachers and my parents, told me that I would never make a living as a writer, and I should work towards a more secure career. So I decided instead that if I couldn't write books, I could at least work with them and so I settled for becoming a librarian. On leaving school, I went to the University College of Wales Aberystwyth where I studied English and Librarianship for my degree.
More importantly, university was also where I met my husband who was also studying English there. We married and moved back north, eventually settling in Lincolnshire. Here I worked as a children's librarian until I left work when my son was born.
After three years of being a full-time housewife and mother, I was ready for a new challenge, but needed something I could do at home, and so I turned to my old love of writing. My first attempts at novels were written on the kitchen table, often late into the night when my son was asleep or during a few snatched hours when he was out at nursery school.
The first two novels sent off to Harlequin Mills & Boon were rejected, but the third attempt was successful. I can still remember the moment that a letter arrived instead of the rejection slip I had been dreading. I think I must have read it over and over at least a hundred times before the reality of what it said sank in, and for days I kept checking it just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. In 1984, THE CHALK LINE was published just in time to be one of my best Christmas presents ever.
Fitting in hobbies around working and being a wife and mother can be difficult, but I always find time to read. I love all sorts of fiction, especially Romance, obviously. I also enjoy historical novels, detective fiction and long, absorbing biographies about fascinating people and I can spend hours in bookshops just browsing. I enjoy knitting and embroidery, but I rarely get time to do either now that I'm a full-time writer. I also love looking round antique fairs or junk shops, hoping to add to my collection of Victorian embroidery. During my working hours my four cats, all adopted from the RSPCA, usually keep me company in my study, though they have to be dissuaded from sitting on the piles of papers that they are convinced are there just for them.
I love to travel and visit new places, especially places with an interesting history, and I always enjoy visiting old castles or stately homes and imagining how the people who used to live there spent their days.
I'm often asked if I'm a romantic sort of person because I specialise in writing Romances. Well, if being romantic means caring about other people enough to make that extra special effort, then yes, I am. Romance is about making the important people in your life feel valued and letting them know that you care. But I also write about relationships and the difficulties people sometimes have in understanding each other, or expressing affection, or overcoming problems.
Sometimes—when the right words won't come, or an idea hasn't worked out as I'd thought, I wonder why I don't have some regular nine to five job, but when the story's flowing and the characters come alive, I really can't imagine a

Cruel but stupid hero. Doormat heroine. Feckless father.
The melodrama is great - don’t get me wrong. The hero jilts the heroine at the altar in the most humiliating way possible. Heroine guiltily thinks it’s because he heard her moaning to a friend about being tired of being poor and wanting to marry a rich man. She sees the jilting as pure revenge – that the hero never loved her - and her heart is broken.
Fast forward a year. Hero shows up again. Seems heroine’s father owes him all kinds of debts from his gambling habit. But Daddy’s in the hospital with a debilitating stroke and the heroine will have to make up for it by having sex with hero. Oh, and he owns the house and he’ll let them live there as long as heroine keeps him sweet.
Heroine still loves this guy – but she can’t show him that he broke her heart – so she lies – a lot. Hero looks bleak when heroine says something bitter. Hero is affronted when heroine feels like she’s prostituting herself. We never have his POV, but KW is showing the hero’s true feelings with these throwaway lines. Heroine starts to feel some hope that it wasn’t all for revenge, but she is confused, poor thing.
So what’s the hero’s reason for jilting the heroine?
Mommy and Daddy’s bad marriage. Yup. That’s right. KW is going to insult your intelligence with that old chestnut.
In the middle of the story he tells the heroine he jilted her at the altar to set her free. He “knew” she was in it for the money, and since she didn’t love him, she would have been miserable like his mother.
Later he tells her he jilted her because he loved her so much and he didn’t want their love to turn to hate.
It’s all so stupid. And I just couldn’t buy what Kate Walker was selling as I was reading it. This is important distinction. I felt like I was yelling at the TV as I was reading along. A really good trainwreck will leave you enthralled until the bitter end and then you can have the fun of thinking of all the “nope” that just occurred. The story telling wasn’t strong enough for me to believe that the hero had noble reasons for jilting the heroine.
Look – let’s face it. There is no plausible way to write a jilting at the altar *with love* scenario unless the hero was being threatened by the mob and afraid for the heroine’s life, so he has to have a very public split.
Now a jilting for revenge I can understand.
Revenge and then regret I can respect. Since the regret shows his dawning understanding of what he truly felt for the heroine. But come on, I jilted you publicly because I didn’t want you to have a bad marriage?
I feel like Judge Judy. Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.
Heroine bought this hook, line and sinker. LOL – And it’s editorial malpractice that there wasn’t an epilogue where the H/h are actually married. The story ends after the heroine chases him with the hero proposing again in the church where he jilted her – but who is to say he won’t get right back on that jilting horse? He really did seem to think he did the right thing.
That’s right – he never said he was sorry for humiliating her in front of the entire village.
So the title is off. No revenge. But look at that cover. They are smiling! Is this their second wedding where the heroine doesn't know if that scamp of hero will jilt her again? Lordy.

Re The Groom's Revenge - Kate Walker doesn't even bother to phone this one in, she uses half a semaphore or a signal mirror - maybe.
The premise on this one is that the h was a young, unicorn grooming, virtuous follower of All the Rules: Time-Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right when she kinda cozened the very unenthusiastic H into agreeing to marry her a year earlier.
The h also made the statement, within the H's hearing, that she was really tired of being poor and glad she was marrying a really rich guy. The h's father, who was NOT in favor of the marriage initially, does a complete 180 when it turns out the H has a lot of money. He promptly asks for a huge loan.
The h's wedding day arrives and the H pretty massively and unceremoniously dumps the h at the altar. The h is humiliated and betrayed and over the course of the next year, utterly unable to keep her idiot father from going even more financially astray or from winding up in hospital from a stroke.
Cue up the H's return and since the h is so desperate to get out of poverty, the H makes the deal that he will pay off her father's considerable debts and let the h's family stay in their home, as long as the h will prostitute herself to him.
So she does. Then the h proceeds to mope about and whine for the H's love like my cat Chester asks for his Temptation kitty treats - every ten minutes, incessantly
There is the usual mopey moments over the h's unrequited love and the H doesn't like the h mentioning that she isn't comfortable with her new job as a tart, or at least he doesn't like her mentioning it every other paragraph.
The h also feels bad for lying to her mum about her real status as harlot on bed duty to the H, tho the H strangely also feels kinda embarrassed about that - mainly cause the h's mother is a delicate and helpless lady.
Eventually KW tries to soften the H's behavior by claiming he did not totally dump the h for being a gold digging pay to play tart. Rather he dumped the h because his parents had a horrible marriage and his own mum was sad cause she married for money too and he loved the h too much to make her miserable like that.
After the H got through all his list of lurve club positions using the h, he signs off on paying off the h's dad's loans and gifts the h's family back their home. Then he prepares to take off for pastures new.
In an EXTREMELY bizarre ending, the H and h meet at altar where he dumped her the first time and the h shamelessly badgers him, AGAIN, until the H agrees to marry her for the dubious HEA. We get no wedding and no real proposal scene, KW just tells us the two of them were ready for a lifetime of happiness and wedded bliss.
(I can't help but wonder if that was because the H took off with a supermodel for a lovely vacation the next day, while the h won the lottery and could make her own escape to search out a better HEA over in HRtopia.)
Either way, the story unfortunately lacked any type of conviction - even the revenge was pretty tepid and the h doesn't come across so much as a naive, misunderstood unicorn groomer, as more like a calculating, but not very smart wanna be high class tart.
I wasn't feeling the lurve at all on this one and I am still not sure KW wasn't going for some kind of romance farce - sometimes that can highly entertaining in a different HP way, but this was just not worth the time it took to read this mostly lackluster HP outing.

Oh why, oh why, do I do this to myself and continue to read this author?
Forget about the fact that the heroine is beyond TSTL and confuses sexual overworking pheromones for love. Forget about the fact that the hero treats her like trash and isn't worth a dime. But how could the author ever expect us (as readers) to believe that a woman could ever forgive a man who says "no" at the altar, walks out of the church, and humiliates her in front of an entire village.
"IF I had really wanted to hurt you, it would have been far crueler to have gone ahead and married you. So I had to set you free"
"Set you free. She had never looked at his actions in that light before, but now that she did, they seemed so honest, so wonderful, so generous --so loving. " .
Really? Did it never dawn on him (and her) to just call off the wedding BEFORE the actual ceremony....Most decent people do. She thinks this is honest? She thinks this is wonderful?? She thinks this is generous??? I thought it was deliberate, vicious, and unforgivable.
OH wait, it gets even better. This was part of a bigger plan for him to come back after a year and get to know her better and see if she really could love him. He couldn't do that married to her? He honestly believed that after what he did she could turn around and love him again? Can anyone say "Doormat"
I don't mind a bad book. I don't mind not agreeing with an author. However, I do mind when an author assumes my IQ is zero.

I did not buy the hero's reasons for jilting her. It was too weak and frankly at the end the heroine came across a little too desperate for my liking. Hard one to rate for me I didn't love it and it was sort of a disappointing read at the end.

Towards the end author has a good explanation that is a sensible justification for what hero did.

I loved the book 4.5. I normally am not all that found of some revenge stories because the Hero is often too hateful to the heroine to be forgiven. I liked the Hero in this book. Although he did do a terrible thing and belittled the Heroine at the altar and left her. He came back and really was not hurtful to her again. I just wanted him to grovel a little more for what he did. I felt the Heroine was great only just a little too loving. She should have confronted her Dad. I also would have liked to seen her Mom demand the Dad do something to help himself. Maybe that would have taken the focus of the true story the Love the Hero and Heroine still had for each other. I just like all the loose ends tied up.

I really.don't know.how to rate this book because it made me cry, I finished it and I hated the hero and heroine. Such a lousy thing to do to the person you supposedly love? And I don't think he was celibate either. It never said but it hinted he had kept up his reputation. And she annoyed me too. Lying to him and not admitting she loved him. It was just so depressing. I am sorry he had a bad childhood. But the things he said at the not-wedding were awful. Just talked myself into lowering it to 2. I didn't buy the ending either. Just not a good book u fortunately and so very depressing and sad.

Is this suppose to be comedy? Cause it sure wasn’t. Hero humiliated the heroine, came back a year later, moved in when her father is in a coma, what happened to the brother and mom? Just what is happening?! There were too many wand waving moments, heroine saying a ludicrous out of character thing that the hero overhears, hero humiliated heroine to make sure she didn’t come after him....and happy ever after? Just what the heck?! Dumb ending and too much wand magical “that problem is solved or never really was a problem in the first place” going on. Skip it.

I didn't like that he left her at the alter (and that is putting it mildly )
throughout the story I just couldn't put that fact from my mind
and I didn't buy the reason at the end...and she even thinks he did it in a loving way ? no
at one point he says ...you never asked me why I did that ....I was thinking it's all about you ay tough guy?
I was thinking she never once truly told him off for what he did to her ....how it made her feel ...the pity and embarrassment ...she made her own dress for crying out loud.
...their communication frustrated me .....but I felt his pain and was happy they worked it out in front of the alter where he had done the must horrible thing you could possibly do to someone you love ....make them believe they mean nothing to you and then leave...... forgive me? NO !

What kind of joke was that? Hard to feel sorry for the heroine after a declaration like that. As for the H-who makes such a spectacle just to humiliate another human being? What a jerk!
I supposed it was his hurt pride. The heroine was a damsel in distress stringing OM along.

Everything had been perfect. India Marchant had planned her fairy-tale wedding and all that had remained was for the groom, Aidan Wolfe, to say "I do." But he hadn't! Instead, he accused India of being a gold digger and had walked away from the altar and out of her life. A year later Aidan was back and India was determined not to be such easy game this time around. But it seemed Aidan was still out for revenge. He'd only help her family with their difficulties for a price—India as his mistress….
