The Honorable Rogues #2
Bride of Falcon
When is love not enough?
After five Seasons, Ivonne Wimpleton has accepted she’s an haute ton undesirable. Her only suitors are men desperate to get their hands on her marriage settlement. Guarded and aloof, and always a bit ungraceful, she’s resigned herself to spinsterhood. She doesn’t mind her fate since Chancy Faulkenhurst, the man who once held her heart, left for India without an explanation. Six years later Chance returns to England physically and emotionally scarred. His love for Ivonne remains just as strong, and when he learns she must choose one of the degenerates who've offered for her, he's determined that none should have her but him. Except, not only is she infuriated he made no effort to contact her in all their years apart, in Chance’s absence, his father arranged a marriage for him and fully expects Chance to honor the agreement.
Caution: This historical Regency romance contains an intrepid, spinsterish wallflower convinced she's unworthy of love, a wounded hero determined to persuade her otherwise, and a cunning villainess you'll hope gets her comeuppance.

Loved it..
I have to say I enjoyed every single word of this novella. I loved all the secondary characters, well I did hate Lord Kirkpatrick, and the sweet sensual love story. Of Falcon’s concern of Ivonne being disgusted because of the two fingers he’d lost during the war (he’d been gone for six years) and Ivonne’s ‘sometimes’ concern that she walked with a limp because of a broken leg that didn’t heal right. Theirs was such a wonderful love, yet neither of them knew how the other felt until the end of the book. There was only 186 pages in this but it told me a perfect love story, with no angst or misunderstandings. I can't ask for more than that.
There wasn’t any sex in this book but there was some touchy-feely stuff going on, that was perfectly written. Great sexual tension on Ivonne’s part. And there was no swearing.
As to the narrator: Fantastic! I swear Stevie Zimmerman is becoming one of my favorite female narrators. She laughs, cries, whispers, mumbles, everything that’s called for. And I love her male voices.

I've enjoyed Collette Cameron's works in the past. They're easy to read, entertaining, and total brain candy. You aren't challenged, nor do you need to think hard at all. It's like the lazy river of historical romances. However, I'm glad that this was free.
This novella was not good. There wasn't enough backstory at all to engage the reader to the MCs. What is revealed during the course of the story is hardly compelling either. You have the H who claims that he's been in love with the h for five years and that physical interactions that he's had with other women were merely releases that his body wanted. I'm sorry but that's not romantic. And then there's the h who's mad at the H, then attracted to him, feels spurned by him, wants to make him jealous, and then is desperate to marry him? Uh, what?
You also have the run of the mill misunderstandings, the spurned party wishing to make the other party jealous, and the dreaded games. You know the ones...where the MC isn't willing to make himself or herself vulnerable but instead says or does things that forces the other person to react? Like the H saying he's interested in courting someone else just to see if the h is hurt by this and therefore interested in him. Or the h pointing out that another suitor has come to call just to see if lover boy would clench his fists in jealousy. Needless to say, the games never cease to annoy me, and as short as this novella is, it manages to contain some of that. The other novella I've read by Ms. Cameron also fell short of the mark and I think I'll stick with her full length stories from now on.

Another great book in the waltz with a rogue series!! Falcon has been gone for many years and comes home injured. Ivonne has been pinning for Falcon for over 7 years. She has turned down every offer because her heart has always been with Falcon. Before he left to the Indias he asked for Ivonne's hand in marriage but her father refused saying she was too young and that Falcon needed away to support a wife and family. When a scandal breaks out around Ivonne, Falcon is finally home to hopefully claim her as his bride!! A beautifully written book!!

Soon to be one of my favorite authors, I am so happy I listened to this book! Now I believe I have listened to all available! The books I have listened to are entertaining. Enough humor, and interest to keep me listening all the way through.

BRIDE OF FALCON, the second novella in Collette Cameron's A Waltz with a Rogue series features Ivonne "Ivy" Wimpleton, the younger sister of Allen Wimpleton from the first novella in the series, A Kiss for Miss Kingsley. Ivy has been in love with her brother's friend, Chancy "Falcon" Faulkenhurst since she was a young girl. He went to India to work six years ago when she was only fifteen and has finally came back to England. She's had many suitors, but none she's interested in mostly because she's never gotten over her hope that Falcon returns her feelings.
There was a lot going on in this second chance love story. One of Ivy's suitors, the most repugnant of them all is quite aggressive, and causes trouble as her rejection disrupts his plans. Chance is back, but he's not the same man and isn't sure any woman will want him. There's the usual nattering gossips who are more than happy to spread rumors whether or not they are true. The biggest hindrance to their love seems to be their own insecurities and misunderstandings. Even Prinny gets into the mix. At last, true love prevails and this young couple are free to declare themselves. Sweet story and likable characters. 4 stars
*I listened to the audiobook version and was impressed with the narrator's ability to give individual voices to each of the varying characters.

Oh, I do love some good star-crossed lovers! Cameron brings her world to life in this intriguing tale of love against the odds. She draws her readers into the ton, not necessarily via pomp & circumstance, but rather via feelings. Cameron`s eloquent yet formal writing allows readers to get a real sense of the people and situations surrounding the main characters without having them spelled out. And the rumour mill of the ton is out in full force here. I couldn`t help but laugh out loud at some of the things that these ladies came up with. This novella also embodies the essence of a sweet romance. Feelings and desires work their way into your heart as the characters come together in the end.
Ivy`s spirit in the face of the life before her was quite endearing. Falcon`s self-doubt where Ivy is concerned combined with his hero persona creates the most intriguing of characters. The genuineness of these characters, along with the whit and poise through which Cameron presents them creates an utterly captivating whole.
Overall, this was a great novella that tugged at my heart. It was another fantastic, albeit quick, read from Cameron.
Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book by Collette Cameron. It is full of fun, fashion, heartache, suspense, love and romance.
In Bride of Falcon, Ivonne has been in love with Falcon since she was 15 years old. Little did she know that Falcon loved her also, but being protective of her, her father turned down Falcon's request for Ivonne's hand in marriage. He told him that if he still loved her and could provide for her in a few years then he could ask for her hand again.
The six years that they went without any communication at all felt like a lifetime to them both during which they had both gone through a lot of living and growing up.
All of that time, lack of communication and hurt feelings did little to stifle their feelings. If anything they were more drawn to one another.
Finally after all of those years apart Ivonne and Falcon are hoping for their happily ever after.
I'm looking forward to reading more by Collette in the future.
I was given an ARC for an honest review. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.

A delightful novella from A Waltz with a Rogue
Bride of Falcon is a real treat for Regency romance readers. Nothing more romantic than a returning soldier hero with scars. Collette Cameron weaves a charming story of love reclamation with all the tears and fears of what could be lost.
It's a wonderful part of the series: A Waltz with a Rogue. It is a very entertaining mixture of characters entertwining the novellas. Although it can be read as a standalone it is an enjoyable collection of colorful, chivalrous heros and their forgiving, charming heroines. I recommend catching the series, you'll enjoy them all!

I really enjoyed this short, traditional Regency novella. It had all the necessary ingredients for a sweet romance, including a villain, interfering royalty, a wounded hero, a vulnerable heroine, the gossipy ton, and a surprising investment turned into wealth. Chaz (Falcon) and Ivy waited six long years to get their happy-ever-after ending, but get it they did! I recommend this novella highly. An ARC was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.

Gah, starting to get bored with silly plots and situations. This one was so bad I have to admit I skimmed in places. I couldn't tell you what it was about, more misunderstandings and girls in fear of forced marriages.

Wonderful
Ivy has been in love with Falcon since she was 15, Falcon was in love also. He was a second son, he decided to serve in India. He comes back 6 years later with a few disfigurements, but he still loves Ivy and Ivy still loves him. They just have to see the light.

Great story !!!
I truly enjoyed this story. Collette writes with all the vocabulary of the Era. It is so fun to read. Some of the things they would say in 1818 are hilarious. I found myself laughing out loud. I highly recommend this book !!!!

Fun to read, good characterisations (despite the overdone names hinting otherwise), but the solution of the hero and heroine's problems was too rushed, and too much of a sudden happy turn of events to not overstretch my suspension of disbelief.

une jolie petite histoire d'amour toute simple avec des personnages agréables même le "méchant " est plus lourd, bête et sale que vraiment méchant.

Six years = five seasons. Five long seasons for Ivonne Wimpleton to accept that she is an undesirable. Six long years to realize & accept that the one man she has loved since she was 15 does not love her.
Six long years - that's how long Chancy Faulkenhurst, Falcon, has been away from England. Six years since he's seen the one girl he wants for a wife, one that whose father refused him six years ago. Now he's home, poor & disfigured, with little prospects to woe the girl he wants & to gain her father's approval.
During a house party given by Ivonne's parents she is pursued by a man she has no intention of ever marrying. In running from this man she literally bumps into none other than Falcon. The man she's loved for years, the man she wrote to but never received a letter in return. Why, oh why, has she run into him now when she's finally ready to get on with her life knowing there's no hope with him? And why is her stomach dong flips at the sight & smell of him?
Ivy, his Ivy, still so beautiful. But why is she running, why is she afraid? When her would be suitor follows her into the arbor & demands to know why she's in the arms of another man, Chancy realizes what she fears. As the conversation continues it becomes clear this man is not going to give up so Chancy says the first thing that enters his head - Ivy is promised to another. Such a simple statement leads to headaches for all involved when the Prince Regent demands to meet Ivy's intended. As Ivy considers her options Chancy is considering a move to America - he cannot stand to be in England if Ivy is married to another. As the days continue circumstances change. Will Chancy stay in England? Will he propose to Ivy? Will Ivy be able to marry for love or will she have to settle just to make the Prince Regent happy?
I'm a huge fan of Collette Cameron's & she never fails to entertain - complete with laughter & tears and Bride of Falcon is no exception. An EXCELLENT read.

I read this story as part of the box-set Captivated by His Kiss.
Falcon is the kind of hero you feel and fall for right away. He’s too flawed both emotionally and physically because of what he thinks were his failings during his time as a soldier and now he thinks he’s not worthy of Ivonne’s love. Ivonne, our heroine's story, is in a dire situation because she must choose a man to marry or The Prince Regent will choose for her and the candidate is a man she detests. Her heart belongs to Falcon, as it always has but she now has to convince him that she will have him regardless of his looks and financial situation. Ivonne’s naïveté and innocence had me laughing most of the time, especially when she was with Falcon. She tries to be a “woman” and seeks for help but it seems no one around her wants to help or is actually there to help her! And then that same innocence makes Falcon believe she was just trying to satisfy her curiosity. For shame! Men of all eras can be so stupid LOL Flaws and all, Falcon quickly became one of my favorite heroes.

Collette does it again! She has the ability hook me from the first paragraph. The interactions between the characters are very entertaining and it never gets boring. This is a short story and I read it from the Captivated By His Kiss (A Limited Edition Boxed Set of Seven Regency Romances).
The story takes place in London during the 1800s. It is about a woman who is considered a spinster and a man returned from India scarred and disfigured.
Ivy, the spinster, captivates the story from the first page. I was already rooting for her and feeling sorry for her situation. It gets better for her after she runs into Falcon (the man she has feelings for and who has been gone for six years)and the story progresses from there. Our two characters have the classic feelings of "I'm not good enough for him/her" and a lot of mixed signals. It wouldn't be a story without that! She will eventually live up to the title and becomes the bride of Falcon.
I can always count on the author to make me smile. Her books are the perfect way to cheer me up, because I know they always end happily. It's like chocolate, after a stressful day, her books are the perfect pick me up.

Ivonne Wimpleton has been in love with Chance Faulkenhurst, aka Falcon, as long as she can remember and he loves her too. As so often happens in Regency romances, they never bothered to tell each other of their love. This leads to amusing chaos and confusion as Ivonne tries to evade the amorous attentions of an odoriferous and revolting suitor whose only interest in her is her inheritance and property. Chance returns from war and learns that in his absence, his father has promised his hand in marriage to another. As if that isn't enough, the Prince Regent becomes involved and demands that Ivonne announce the identity of her intended husband by his arbitrary deadline or her family will face the consequences. The Bride of Falcon is an engaging romance told with Ms. Cameron's unique wit and humor. This is another excellent Regency romance from Collette Cameron and a must-read for anyone who enjoys the genre.

A quick,wonderful read! First published in the Anthology, "Captived by His Kiss".
I so enjoy this author's stories, and "Bride of Falcon", was not a disappointment. Fast paced tale of second chances, romance and love. Two tortured souls, face scandal to find their HEA. Well developed characters that will capture the reader's heart. The storyline is interesting, and a bit unique. An enjoyable and satisfying read! Another hit by Ms. Cameron!!

It's a very cute short story. The heroine is the sister of the hero in "A Kiss for Miss Kingsley". Even though it's a short story the author gave you enough background info to know what was going on and why. I enjoyed it.

I recently purchased this book without realizing I had read it previously in the Captivated By His Kiss book collection. I read it again and enjoyed it just as much as the first time. This short novella is sweet and romantic. Another great Regency romance from Collette!

Good read of enduring love.
Young lovers confront time and insecurities of self doubt and financial worth to find their tomorrow! They almost missed the boat because of their reluctance to express their true feelings!

An absolute, romantic story. I'm always amazed at how complete and full an author can make a novella. Well done Collette Cameron! This was a beautiful love story, and just what I needed.

See my review of the Bride of Falcon edition (I don’t know why it doesn’t show up here).
Also the idea of a 21-year-old having the hots for a 15-year-old is creepy to me tbh.
