Desire's Bride
SHE VOWED TO RESIST HIS CHARM
When Kathlyn McKinney saw Brad Hampton, her heart immediately began to race. Eleven years after that fateful summer, he was as dashingly handsome as ever -- but this time she wouldn't be taken in by him. Desire had made her reckless once long ago, but she was no longer an innocent girl who could be fooled by a Southern gentleman's easy charm. Still, not even the bitterness of his betrayal could extinguish Kathlyn's memory of the sweet rapture she'd known with Brad. And she couldn't ignore her own treacherous yearning for the warmth of his strong embrace and the tender magic of his kiss...
HE VOWED TO CLAIM HER LOVE
When Brad saw Kathlyn again, he found that the years had erased neither his pain at her faithlessness nor his need to make her his own. Honor required that he now help the violet-eyed beauty who had been left alone and defenseless by the war. Yet how could he protect her if she refused to trust him? With the urgency of long simmering passion, Brad swore no one would harm his lovely Southern belle. He had to keep her safe, at least until he could tempt her into offering him the fiery kisses and caresses he well remembered and surrendering with him to the ecstasy of desires too long denied!

I love this book by Teresa Howard! I give it 4 1/2 stars! I loved the tension with the characters and cheered for Brad and Kathlyn, especially after what was done to them as young kids! I love this period and I cannot imagine how hard it was to survive the Civil War and the Reconstruction period where times were tough and people were taken advantage of. If you like this genre then you will love this story! It was a great one! Enjoy

3.4* overall, I enjoyed this story. At times I felt like I was wading through treacle to get to the heart of it. The motivation for the male baddy wasn't really addressed, I felt, apart from a general sort of jealousy. The female villain's motivation was clearer. I was never tempted to give up reading it altogether, though!
