About the author
Elizabeth Bailey
93 books304 followersAn avid reader from an early age, Elizabeth Bailey grew up in colonial Africa under unconventional parentage and with theatre in the blood. Back in England, she trod the boards until discovering her true métier as a writer in her thirties, when she fulfilled an early addiction to Georgette Heyer by launching into historical romance. Eight years and eight books later, Elizabeth joined the Harlequin Mills & Boon stable, fuelling her writing with a secondary career teaching and directing drama, and writing plays into the bargain.
With 18 historicals published, Elizabeth turned to other genres, producing two titles (Fly the Wild Echoes and For One More Tomorrow) in the cross-genre literary/paranormal field as well as a suspense novella (Silence of a Stranger). She has several short stories available too and a guide for writers on editing.
Continuing her foray into other genres, but returning to her favourite historical period, Elizabeth turned to mystery. She placed her female sleuth in the late Georgian world of intrigue, elegance, aristocrats and rogues, where privilege rubbed shoulders with the harsh realities of making ends meet. While Ottilia moves in the upper echelon of Society, she is thoroughly at ease in the lower, which allows Elizabeth to cross boundaries with impunity. These novels are now published with Sapere Books and the list continues to grow.
Sapere also publish her Brides by Chance Regency Adventures, a series dedicated to the countless women who could not ordinarily hope for romance and marriage: poor relations, dowerless females, those who did not "take", orphans. In a word, the classic Cinderella heroine.
Now retired from teaching, Elizabeth concentrates on writing and promotion, with a sideline in running an assessment critique service for writers.

I had read another book by the author and was impressed with the story and the author's writing style and consequently added most of them to my TBR. The Veiled Bride was not as expected, even though I would like to read a couple of more books by author Elizabeth Bailey to form an opinion.
The Veiled Bride has all the tropes that I usually go in for in historical romances, forced marriage, hidden faces, a brooding angry hero, a heroine with secrets on her own, and a gothic setting, kind of like the Beauty and Beast theme. Rosina has her reasons for answering an advertisement for a wife and Anton, Lord Raith has his reasons to get married without any courtship or showing his face to anyone. The marriage of convenience trope works in interesting ways with both characters unable to trust the other and taking their own sweet time to accept the inevitable. The story, I felt could have been 100 pages shorter, coz the entire fumbling around, and the communication gaps between the couple were repetitive. Anton keeps reacting to things in anger and Rosina keeps behaving rudely in fact, in more than half of the story they are hurting each other and then apologizing for it.
Well, it was an easy entertaining read for an afternoon though not maybe the best work by the author. The characterization of both Rosina and Anton never worked for me and I was unable to connect with Anton’s behavior at most parts of the book. Elizabeth Bailey surely knows to draw the reader in so I am looking forward to reading a few more books by the author.

Do not read this! The author was trying to hard and the writing was strange. I thought it would be sweet and romantic like a beauty and the beast but it wasn't what I expected.
Too many exclamation points where they were not needed. The characters were horrible and unlikable. I skipped so much that I didn't understand the plot with the guarfian (?) So utterly confusing.
If you like to waste you precious time read this. If not there are some better books.

The plot of this book was right up my alley: wounded brooding hero, arranged marriage, damsel in need of protection. I SHOULD have loved it.
Trigger issue and a BIG issue of why I couldn’t love this book was that the main self imposed drama was overly concern of whether or not the lady was “virtuous” or not. However, the only reason she would not have been “above reproach” or “pure” was that she had been raped! There was much debate over whether or not she was being honest about her virtue not withstanding the fact that she could have been RAPED!
Oh and the lovely little complication over a doctor seeing to her and claiming that she had possibly had a miscarriage - but wasn’t entirely certain, because he hadn’t examined the tissue, but was just basing his guess on her pother symptoms. And yet we never discovered how this doctor even arrived at his diagnosis and how it was explained given that at the time of the reported miscarriage she was still a virgin?! I’m sorry - but WHAT?!
Oh - and its all fine because eventually the MCs spend a night together after he gets foxed and they get a single paragraph saying that they “made love” the night before in an extremely brief flashback that one might even miss if they were skimming the frustrating book at this point - and even if you weren’t skimming you probably missed it and had to reread it to make certain. This occurs after there are entire chapters dedicated to flashbacks to tell the story leading up to their wedding.
Third person limited alternating every few paragraphs from one MC to the other.
Both main characters were so obsessed with reading intentions into the other’s actions, and then explaining their actions and the intentions behind them, which, of course, were the exact opposite of whatever the other had just assumed was intended by the other’s actions….. Did that sentence make you cringe because of all the run ons continued by commas? Then definitely do not read this book.
Too many times I had to reread a sentence because the way it was written was just a little to uncomfortable as far as verb-noun-adjective order.
I had to go a bit meta on why I did not like this book so much, and I realized that I prefer stories with strong protagonists that face external drama rather than internal self imposed drama and angst.
This book would have been half as long had each character just been honest with themselves, and then given the other person the benefit of the doubt instead of going all “my life will forever be this way based solely on the last six days and theres nothing I can ever do about it so I just need to cry and accept my pitiful fate!”
Also annoying was the amount of words that just seemed pretentious. I’m all for growing my vocabulary but after the first 10 pages with as many words that made me cock my head and reread the sentence for context and use the dictionary feature.

Based on the description, the story had some of my favorite ingredients -marriage of convenience, brooding hero. But it felt like the cook used good ingredients to create an awful dish. Anton, Lord Raith , came to his inheritance on a death of his older half-brother. Anton had to get married in order to obtain his trust fund and recover his run down estate. The only way he wanted to find a wife is through advertisement in newspaper. Why chose such an unconventional way? Well, it is because of his facial scar. This former military man is so insecure about it that he thinks no woman in a right mind would have him otherwise. Considering that the story takes place during a time when England was in perpetual war and great number of its male population suffered from different war wounds, the whole premise of the story is ridicules. I could overlook this if the rest was good. But OMG, I felt as I am reading some gothic Minerva press literature. Our hero is so unbalanced , his emotions are so swinging that our poor trembling heroine doesn't know what to expect from him on a minute by minute account. Add to this chuck full of misunderstandings between them and you get the whole picture.

You've heard of clean, sweet romances, I'm sure. This one was not one of those. It's clean, but far from sweet. There is so much angst, turmoil, and deception that it didn't need any steam. We got a few kisses and some feels, but what kept this book moving were the secrets both Rosina and Anton were hiding from each other and the extremes they went to in order to keep them hidden. It nearly destroyed them. I wanted them to get their happily ever after, but I wasn't sure how they were going to pull it off.
Anton has a nasty scar going down the length of his face, marring his good looks and having people stare and shun him. He thinks he's unacceptable for any self-respecting woman, but needs to marry in order to get his inheritance. His deceased brother has left everything in shambles and everything needs repaired. He places an ad in the newspaper, looking for a wife then has his lawyer/best friend interview the prospects while he hides in another room where he can see them and listen to what's said.
Rosina needs protection and when her nurse suggests she answers the ad, she doesn't want to do it, but realizes it may be her only option. Should she be chosen, it would solve her problems. She was chosen, but that didn't solve the problem. In fact, it exacerbated it and created even more problems.
This story is a perfect example of what happens when you don't know the person you married, when you both harbor dark secrets that you don't want anybody to know--especially your spouse-and how you can love someone despite it all.
This was a wonderful book. I'm sure I'll read more by this author.

Rosina needs to escape an intolerable situation with her guardian, who's trying to sell her off to the worst man she knows. When she sees Lord Raith's advertisement looking for a wife, it seems the answer to her problems - except for her worry of why a lord would need to advertise for a wife in the first place, exacerbated by the fact that she is not to meet him until the wedding. The discovery of a terrible scar on one side of his face catches her off-guard, but far harder to face is his bitterness and sensitivity regarding it and people's attitudes to it. And she hasn't admitted to the events that made it so imperative for her to escape... Though there is an attraction between the two, can it overcome his bitterness and the secrets between them?
As I've come to expect from this author, this was a clean and written story, with characters that I really felt for. I really enjoyed it, with a bit of a caveat: Raith's reactions to things sometimes seemed a bit over the top, and the story did start to feel a bit repetitive in how often he got upset in the middle. However, the unfolding of Rosina's history introduced a new element and got the story out of a bit of a rut, which was good. The ending was particularly satisfying and all in all, I recommend the story.
Note that I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author. I was not required to write a positive review and this is my considered opinion of the book.

Too many secrets…
Anton, Lord Raith, must marry to claim his inheritance but a disfigurement has made him unacceptable to the ladies of the peer. An advertisement has brought many applicants for a “wife of convenience” but the only one he is interested in is the beautiful dark-haired waif that he observed from his hiding place.
Rosina Charlton was looking for employment when she saw the advertisement and applied at the insistence of her old nurse. A quiet, country life as a wife would meet her needs perfectly. She was not looking for love and it would give her the protection she was seeking.
Elizabeth Bailey has created another beautiful historical romance. I enjoy her descriptive style and attention to detail. She really brings the characters to life. There were times when I felt Anton’s behavior was exhausting and there was a little too much drama but overall, I enjoyed the book. I received an advance copy but my review is honest and voluntary.

Train wreck marriage
It's rather like watching a train wreck in slow motion. It's horrible and abusive, yet you have to keep reading in vauge, morbid fascination. The boy flips between a controling, manipulative jerk and a gentle cinnamon roll with no warning, while the girl, despite her inner fire, behaves more like a spineless sock puppet. The writing style trys to be archaic with odd sentence construction and big words most readers would not know or use regularly thrown in at odd intervals confusing the plot. They keep blowing up over the same issues. It's always the boy's fault, never the girl's, yet he apologizes and proceeds to do the exact same thing in the next chapter. I will say for him, it's not malice and cruelty that drives him but fear and temper. However, if the way you're approaching a problem makes your wife mad at you, don't keep doing the same thing! Overall, this book felt awkward and the marriage felt toxic, but it was diverting.

Imagine marrying a total stranger you have not even met! Rosina's near panic at the alter is palpable as she has second thoughts. But she is in a desperate situation and marrying - a baron no less - will hopefully provide the protection she needs. What exactly she is running from is hinted at and only fully revealed considerable later in the story.
With a badly scarred face Anton certainly has a chip on his shoulder. Again, closer to the end than the beginning are details of how he got the scar revealed.
What would this pair have done without the solicitor Otterley, who helps both individually with sound advice on how to adjust to their married state.
Yes, miscommunication and non-communication frustrate the reader, however, as Rosina and Anton hardly know each other, I consider it realistic.

This story was so enjoyable!
I have just finished reading the 'rewrite' of this book in an Advance Reader Copy (ARC) and here is my voluntary and unbiased review.
This story and the way it 'read' felt different to the others by Elizabeth Bailey and in my opinion, it is definitely one of her better ones and so, I am very happy to recommend it.
I loved the two main characters who both felt they had something to hide from one another.
The gradient build up of this romance was just peachy and oh, so right! It has all the angst one can expect in a historical romance too.

Generally I love Elizabeth Bailey’s books, but this one missed the mark by a mile.
Our two lead characters are immature idiots. He’s capricious & taciturn, she’s silent & secretive, & they’re both uncommunicative. Between the pair of them sulking like teenagers, keeping ridiculous secrets, flouncing about in temper, behaving with all the maturity of a 13 year old, I’m surprised I made it to the end. The best character in this book is Ottery!
Ignoring the silly nonsensical behaviours, it was worth giving it a go, if only to pass the time.

Repetitive and annoying
Couldn’t get into this story and found the characters annoying. The hero kept apologising for being rude and unkind and wondered why the heroine wouldn’t trust him. Despite this, heroine wanted to trust him but couldn’t reveal her secret. Ridiculous and repetitive.

Misunderstood
I liked the first chapters of this romance but quickly grew impatient with the characters. The groom was quick to take offense. The bride withheld pertinent information and jumped to false conclusions of her own. I skimmed the last two thirds of the book because only because I wanted to know if it improved as it went along. The ending was abrupt.

Not Her Best
The premise was good but it didn't follow through to the end. Plus there were pages and pages of remorse, confusion, and self recrimination. I'm surprised the editor didn't cut all that repetition. Not worth the time to read. She has other work a thousand times better.

Típico romance de banca com uma boa quantidade de clichés e tropos. Contudo, os personagens têm basicamente a mesma reação no livro inteiro - o heroi, Raith, está sempre bravo e Rosina é extremamente rude o que faz com que o relacionamento deles esteja sempre conturbado.
Foi difícil engolir que recém-casados sempre às turras acabassem juntos no final.

I enjoyed the book and especially the writing that was really flawless. Unfortunately, the story was a bit unbelievable and the characters were too much victims of their own misconceptions, at some points, it was hard to empathize.

Alright
I liked this book and found that the characters within were more of a pain in the neck and I could cheerfully knock their heads together but the story line flowed well until the sudden ending which was a bit of a surprise.😕

Good Story, but lacking
There was no flow and development of the characters through the story. I loved the restraint and courage shown by Rosina but the suspicions shown by Anton were so bad. Not enough apologies.

Constant frustration
This story was very good, but at times, it made me want to scream. I was so relieved when everything finally worked out.

All issues in this book could have been solved if both of these characters just sat down and had an honest god damn conversation OH MY GOD
September 24, 2021
I usually enjoy this author’s books but this one failed to live up to expectations. Rosina and Anton, Lord Raith, both had secrets from their past and had difficulty explaining things to each other. There was a definite lack of communication, added to this was Anton’s quick temper and Rosina’s stubbornness. Neither of which helped matters. All I can say is thank goodness for the solicitor, Ottery, who was a good friend to both of them. There was happy ending but it took some getting there. I received a copy and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
