Fun facts about KL: Perpetual romantic. Coffee addict. Sarcasm lover. Give her an action flick over a romance. But a romance book over action. She’s weird like that. Did she mention coffee addict? Closet shopaholic. Beach lover. Coffee addict, it bears repeating. Again. Husband obsessed. Hers that is, you can keep yours. Mom of 6, well 7 if you count the husband. Oh and 2 of those are a cat & dog, that are confused about their species.
A very enjoyable read. It's not the kind of book I usually read (a couple getting married with h carrying another man's baby) and I didn't expect to love it as much as I did.
It's about Jordan and Megan.
She's pregnant with another man's baby. The father didn't want anything to do with the baby and left her. Now, her parents were forcing her to marry a man she didn't know. Not even his name.
He's supposed to take over his father's company as CEO but his father told him to find a wife and work on giving him an heir or he'll sell the company. Now, he had to marry a woman he didn't know. Not even her name.
Will their arrange marriage going to work or will it end before it even started?
I loved the story! It was so cute and so sweet. I loved how he accepted and loved the baby, how he treated and claimed the baby as his own. And I loved that she's scared to trust others but she trusted him. She also listened.
Omg omg omg I loved this arrange married turned love story. Megan and Jordan show that true love does exist and that when you have love so strong you can do anything you set your mind too. I love how Megan comes out of her shyness and Jordan shows that even though he’s possessive about his wife he loves her with his whole heart. I also love how Megan kept Jordan on his toes throughout the story. Awesome Job KL Donn.
Megan is pregnant, the father of her baby left her to backpack through Europe. Now her horrible parents are forcing her to marry a man she’s never met and knows nothing about. She doubts the poor man even knows she’s pregnant. Jordan Maxwell is 30 years old, he’s supposed to take over as CEO for his father’s company. The company has been in his family for generations, manufacturing and selling defense equipment to the US military. His father dropped the bombshell that he needs to get married ASAP. So here he is standing in a church waiting to marry a complete stranger he knows nothing about. Megan walks down the aisle to her future husband and when she gets to him she drops the bomb about her pregnancy thinking he’ll run away. She certainly wasn’t expecting him to be okay with her being pregnant and going through with the wedding.
I read this story previously known as 'Anonymous Bride' and it's still good as I rememebr. The first time, I was caught by blurb and I'm happy that this wasn't one of those time, when blurb was better then story itself. I couldn't stop reading this book until the end. It has a great balance of sweetness in the mix with insta and obsessive. And I adore Jordan. He's a perfect H. Smart, possessive, protective, loyal and over the top crazy about his girl. It was really a great story. I'm looking for next one.
What do you do when your new bride, whose name you don’t know, touches your hand and you feel electric pulse though you. But then she says the words “I’m pregnant” then runs away?? You chase her down and make her marry you of course. Megan’s parent are selling her into a marriage where she doesn’t know her groom because of their debt. She is currently pregnant and a disgrace to her parents. Jordan is in a predicament. At thirty and working for his dads company, he has to find a wife and have a heir or his dad will sale the company. The moment that he see Megan, he knows she’s the one he’s been waiting for. Now he just has to convince her that he is here to stay and gain her trust. Jordan is so loving and constantly insuring her that he wants to be there for her and her baby (their baby in his words). It’s takes Megan a little while to trust that he is sincere because she’s never had love before. Always being left behind by her parents and the baby daddy. Once she finally gives in and trust Jordan’s words and actions, she finds out what love is really all about.
-safe read -no talk about sexual history on either side besides her pregnancy -no ow/om drama aside from an assistant that sends a threatening email but she is never seen in the book because he takes care of it. -good epilogues (8 months and 18 months)
Arranged marriage with an possessive alpha male and I’m sold. Hmmm great read by the amazing KL Donn. Loved it. Fast paced and hot. Jordan Maxwell was delicious and so possessive. Meghan was shy at first but I loved how she came out of her shell. And loved that we got not one, but two epilogues.
Yes, I know, I five star the hell out of most books I read but damn, they're just so good. I just can't help it. I really floved the H in this one. So sweet, possessive and patient. The way he accepted the h's unborn baby as his own. Yeah, that's hotness right there. -no cheating -dual POV -no abuse -h is 3 months pregnant. The babys father wants nothing to do with either of them. -no talk about H's past other than he's not a partier or a playboy. This was originally out as Anonymous Bride but was great to revisit the characters. Great read, I definitely recommend.
I loved this read :) It shows that true love even if it was super fast and unconventional, yet it doesn't evaporate under pressure.
I truly felt sorry for Megan, for how her life has been so far, but her luck changes the moment she meets Jordan, who would end up claiming her and her unborn baby.
The way they get together can be considered highly unusual for a love story but at the end, these two find their soul-mate in one other and forming a beautiful family and strong bond as well ♡
At first, Megan was hesitant to accept the connection she felt towards Jordan, majority due to the way her awful, controlling parents, who basically sold her then forced her to go through an arranged marriage to Jordan (they hadn't met yet) but everything in life happens for a specific reason, sometimes fate has different plans and at the end, it all worked out for these two ;)
Jordan is a man who would do anything for his family business and needs to marry in order to have an heir. He doesn't know that Megan is pregnant, until she blurts it out nervously, in front of the alter. That doesn't stop him from continuing to marry her and wanting her. He was gentle, patient, and loving, as well as protective and possessive towards Megan. He didn't care that her unborn baby wasn't his blood because she was his and that meant that the baby was his as well ♡ Sometimes, blood doesn't define what it means the significant of FAMILY. Love defines everything and in this case, Jordan not only loved his woman but her unborn child as well, considering them both his, meaning they're both his family and no one could tell him otherwise but WATCH OUT, because that sexy hot alpha will tear you apart ;)
The epilogues was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! I loved seeing Jordan and his Megan-pie still immensely in love, with their little boy and another surprise on the way ;) Now, that last scene was absolutely PERFECT! I laughed my butt off with that scene and I know you guys will too :) But, overall, this story was still a fantastic and beautiful read ♡♡
KL Donn’s Mr. & Mrs. was a delightful feel-good romance.
Megan Dolan didn’t expect to find herself pregnant with the father leaving her so he could backpack through Europe. She also never expected to find herself marrying a man she never met and didn’t even know the name of to pay off her parent’s debts.
Jordan Maxwell has worked hard to get to be where he is. But his parents give him an ultimatum he never expected . . . find a bride or lose the company he has spent his entire life working for. He has no idea who his bride is or why she would allow herself to be placed into this situation, but the moment he lays eyes on her, all bets are off. He wants her . . . and her unborn baby. Now, he just needs to get her to believe it too!
This was truly a sweet tale. Megan has never been treated well by her family. Her sense of self confidence and self worth is in the crapper. But, she knows the baby she carries will give her a chance to be a better parent than she ever had, and she vows to do everything she can for the new life growing inside her. Jordan’s care and concern seem to good to be true. Can she let go of her past to believe that he can love her for who she is and exactly as she is?
Jordan is immediately captivated by Megan from the first time they touch hands and he gets a jolt. He knows immediately she is his and he is willing to do everything he can to prove it to her. And her baby? That little peanut is going to be his as well. His alpha tendencies to care for and protect Megan and her baby are thrown into overdrive.

This is an updated version of a book which was originally called "Anonymous Bride". Ms.Donn has updated this story and has freshed the content and written a beautiful story which again, hooked me immediately! Mr & Mrs is about Megan and Jordan and their beautiful yet unique love story. Megan was being forced into an arranged marriage after she ended up pregnant and her creepy, controlling parents demanded she immediately marry. The reasons why they sold her were so sad and terrible yet Megan tried to make a run for it but before she could, she encounters handsome Jordan. Jordan is not the dad but needs an heir for his family business and was just going to marry to make that happen but didn’t expect sweet Megan…there was an immediate spark, that connection and chemistry …well immediate for Jordan, not so for Megan. She will need more time to believe. The sexual heat, chemistry and connection is what lit this story on fire; what made this really swoon-worthy is the length Jordan went to, to prove to Megan she and her bump were it for him. This story has the heat factor, is sugary sweet , is just so good and so awesome. The humor, the wit, the chemistry and the passion make this one of my favorite novellas that I have read/and re-read in a while.
What starts out as an arranged marriage turns out to be full of so much chemistry it quickly turns into love. Megan is pregnant and forced into marriage by her parents and the man she is marrying turns out to be her father's boss who needs to marry in exchange to keep his company. She tried to stop the wedding by telling him she was pregnant and running out but Jordan was having none of that and stopped her before she could get away. After a kiss to seal their fate and prove the chemistry, the wedding is back on. Oh, this was such a delightful surprise. It may have been a short book but it carried a punch and proved if there is not love at first sight there is at least lust and chemistry to start out with and that provides something to grow love. I definitely recommend this one.
Mr & Mrs by K.L. Donn a five-star read that will leave you with stars in your eyes. This was a great story, it’s one of those that will have you reaching for the tissues for all the right reasons. Megan Dolan (who gets such a sweet nickname) has always been pushed around, not feeling like she can stand up for herself she tells her arranged husband something she thinks will shock, but in true swoon worthy style, Jordan Maxwell proves he is more than just an arranged groom. He proves that he is a true swoon worthy man. I finished this in one short and sweet sitting, I just felt compelled to read until I knew what happened. Well worth picking up for a pick me up.
I so loved this updated version of this story. I enjoyed it the first time, but more so now. Jordan is awesome! He is fiercely protective and loving of Megan. I wish Trainer and Dodge would get a story.
You can always count on KL Donn to give you a story packed with emotion, love, alpha, and smutty perfect romance. The character development to plot, this was a major hit. It’s so hard to leave a review without giving away a spoiler so I’ll just say this is a MUST by KL!
Gorgeous new cover and LOVE the additional content!
Received as an ARC for an honest review. I loved these two together. Jordan and Megan's love was fast and so much fun to read. Jordan shows that he loves her in everything that he does. He is possessive of her but not overly done. Megan kept Jordan on his toes often that kept the story going. I wish there was a little bit more about her parents in the story but still a great story.
The hero was really made the story for me, that's not to say that I didn't like the heroine but the hero was simply so sweet I melted.
I would've given this a higher rating if not for some of the cheesy (if you're lactose intolerant you should probably stay away from this book (ba dum tss, yes ik that wasn't funny I'll go now). One example (I forget the others and will maybe include them if I ever come back to edit this review, but this is the one that stoodo out to me the most) includes when the H's "chocolate orbs" are described as such.
Now see, this conjures up very painful memories of when I read copious amounts of 1 direction fanfiction when 1 direction was still going full-throttle so I all I saw was this
but obviously with the H's dark brown eye coloring (and' don't get me wrong I love Harry but the recurring orbs in fic thing was a bit cringe).
I buy their HEA and am sure that the H will forever be besotted with his wife for a long time and so will the h with her husband :) these two made me tear up over how mushy and heartwarming it was. Epitome of a feel-good book imo
5 FANTASTIC stars! A beautiful story that will melt your heart. 100% romance
Holy goodness! K.L. Donn always exceeds my expectations. Her writing is sweet and addictive. Mr. & Mrs previously Anonymous Bribe is a fast read. The plot is wonderful and the characters are pretty complex in a sweet way.
This time K. L. Donn develops a cute book that left me my heart warmed. This story centers in a arranged wedding where the groom and bride doesn't know each other, where the bribe is pregnant with the baby of another man, where love is found in between weird circumstances.
People tend to think that finding love is difficult and more difficult for those women who are pregnant or have children of other man. In my opinion love can't be found. It finds us in the right moment. It doesn't matter your condition because love is a pure feeling. If you love someone, you will love him/her unconditionally.
There is nothing sexier than a man who loves a woman with her child. They are like unicorns. So if I could, I would hug and kiss Jordan. He is perfect. Who will not fall for a man who also love your child? He is the kind of man who know exactly what he wants. He wants Megan and peanut.
Megan is a young woman who trust the wrong man and the only good thing he left her was her baby. Her family ordered her to marry a stranger to save her “integrity” but they only wanted to save themselves. (I really hate when parents are so selfish).
To marry Jordan will be one of the best decisions. But he has to win her trust because her heart and her baby are precious jewels she shall protect. Falling for him could be easy however she will take her precautions.
The attraction between them is overwhelming, intense and cute. Jordan wants to possess her completely but only when she is ready to take a shot about what they are feeling for each other.
From the beginning their souls recognise each other like they have been waiting patiently until they finally met. Jordan and Megan will discover the pleasure of being married.
This book is beautifully written. I need more of Jordan, Megan and peanut. This one is perfect for those who are romantic. Books like this left you with a sweet taste. It will make you believe again in second chances, love and marriage.
What is it about arranged marriages that is so dang hot? No seriously. If I read a blurb and that's part of the plot, I'm done for. Cancel my plans. Clear the calendar. Call in sick. You see where I'm going here. KL has delivered an exceptional spin on the arranged marriage trope. It's super sweet, super steamy and totally binge read worthy.
Story Line: Megan's parents have declared she must marry the suitor of their choosing. Why? Well, I don't want to be a spoiler, but her parents suck to put things mildly. Megan has never met this guy. She's never seen him. Heck, she doesn't even know his name. But when their eyes lock as she's walking down the aisle? It's no longer an arranged marriage. It's Meghan Markle walking down the aisle to marry Prince Harry. Sparks are flying. Fireworks are igniting. And suddenly something that supposed to be unpleasant, taboo even, is so hot my hands are sweating as I'm devouring these pages.
Interaction: Megan and her betrothed Jordan Maxwell have a chemistry so hot, I would bet money it's the best KL has ever written. It's perfect insta-love goodness. Their attraction is instant, they affection is within minutes and their love is so pure and honest, it would make even the most sinical believe in love at first sight.
Laundry: Oh my goodness, where do I even begin. At one point, Megan makes a comment saying she didn't plan on giving it up so quickly and I had to laugh. Because as the reader, with this type of angsty and powerful lust going on, I felt like I had to read forever before she gave it up. But these two do not disappoint. In true KL fashion, there's plenty of heat, a crazy intense amount of desire and so much toe curling action, my feet literally hurt.
Depth: With an arranged marriage it's pretty much assumed that one of the families done messed up. Since we know that Megan's family sucks majorly, y'all can assume it's her family that brings the depth to this story line. Their involvement, their screw ups, all of it. Megan is collateral damage essentially. Except, instead of being the one to carry the burden, she's the true winner her. Well, if you ask Jordan, I'm sure he says he's the winner since he gets everything he never knew he was ready for.
First things first; I love the cover to this story! This story was previously released as ‘’the anonymous bride’’ this story has been revamped and given a new cover. I have read this book before when it was named the anonymous bride. I have to admit, I didn’t realise it was a revamped release. Because of that, as soon as I started this story I knew thought that I had somehow read the story before. That being said, it disappoint me. I love this story. This story is short, fast paced and sweet. It is a story that I could read many times and never grow bored. The writing style easy to follow, the characters loveable and the storyline sweet. In order to take over the family business, Jordan needs to get married and have an heir. He doesn’t expect to be lucky enough to meet his ‘’one’’ at the alter. Megan is young and pregnant. She doesn’t want or plan to get married yet her parents force her. Coming up with a plan to get out of it doesn’t work. Instead, she finds herself to a handsome man that she has an instant connection to. The chemistry between Jordan and Megan was clear to see and I really liked them as a couple. They were cute together. I loved how accepting Jordan was of Megan’s pregnancy. I loved how excited he was as Megan’s pregnancy progressed. Overall, I really liked this short story. I loved the ending and the epilogue for this story. I loved how sweet Jordan and Megan was. The storyline for this book is easy to follow and a sweet read.
Hmm…*stares at blinking cursor*… *Thinking about those recipes*…It’s not that I don’t know what to say, I’m still in processing mode. *** I know that this book used to be titled, Anonymous Bride. I’ve never actually read it under that title. So, I went at it with virgin eyes. The thing about me is I’m OBSESSED with books who have damsel in distress heroines, super possessive alpha males, and instalove/attraction themes. That is pretty much the base for most of KL Donn’s books (I still love all her badass heroines) This book was FANTASTIC! It’s one of those books you can enjoy while relaxing in a nice hot bubble bath. The angst is very low. You could “almost” say it’s non-existent, but there is a little something going on that prevents it from having that full title. I don’t normally discuss the actual story and I still won’t, but I do want to tell you my favorite part of this whole book. THE COMMUNICATION. Oh, my! I loved it. He didn’t hold anything back. And, even when she wasn’t too sure, she still would answer his questions. It was amazing and prevented future misunderstandings. My other favorite part…those recipes at the end. I plan to attempt a couple.
I absolutely love this book and this Author. KL gave just gave me my new book boyfriend. Jordan is perfect, not only is he hot, rich, and the sweetest man ever. He is a real man! He is a man that knows what he wants when he sees it and won’t let anything get in his way. He is a man that at first glance knows that Megan is the woman for him, and even finding out that she is expecting on their wedding day doesn’t deter him from getting what he wants, and doing whatever it takes to make this woman love him as much as he knows he will love her. The chemistry between Jordan and Megan is off the charts. All of the sweet things that Jordan says and does only makes it easier to love Jordan for being the man that he is. Having a man that says and does all the right things makes loving him that much easier, and Megan knows that that is exactly what is happening with her the more time her and Jordan spend together. I don’t want to spoil all of the good things in this book, so one click this baby now and see for yourself why Mr. Maxwell is my new book boyfriend!
Jordan can't believe that he is about to marry a woman he has never met. He doesn't even know her name. Megan has been forced into this arranged marriage by parents after being abandoned by her baby's father. She doesn't want to be tied to a man she has never seen and doesn't know. When they meet at the altar all the troubles weighing them down cease to exist. Now it is just Mr. & Mrs.
Talk about turning a troupe like arranged marriage and turning it into gold! KL Donn takes the sweet Megan who trusted the wrong man and was born to the wrong parents and gives her the give of Jordan. Jordan hadn't really thought about a family and marriage before, figuring it will happen eventually. When he sets his sights on Megan, settling down is all he can thing about. I was so freaking happy reading this book, it deserves all 5 stars plus a couple more. I'm urging you, if you need a time out from real life, Mr. & Mrs. is a perfect escape!
I felt so bad for Megan thinking you found the one guy and he ends up just sleeping with you and tossing you aside when your prego.. on top of that your parents are huge dicks ordering you to pay a debt they made by forcing you to marry.. i enjoyed Meg she even told Jordan (hero and guy she has a arrange marriage with) shes prego at the alter giving him a way out and to stick it to her parents..
Jordan was honest a fking saint.. its rare when guys would marry a prego chick and tske care of a child that's not his.. this made me go awww he talked to her belly, made sure she was safe and protective of them both.. it did take megan alil to understand he wasn't going to leave them.
Low angst, mentions of her ex and his assistant who wants him but nothing detailed, drama, no cheating, secondary chara jordan bodyguards i do wonder if they'll get a story, sexy times..short and sweet.. wish it was longer..
This is my favorite short story from KL Donn. This story is one an arranged marriage for a young girl who has no idea of who she is marrying. When they first meet (at the altar) Maggie has a secret to tell him, when he fails to respond she runs away. Jordan is dumbfounded by his reaction to her touch and by the time his head is clear she’s gone. He chases after her apologizes for his poor behavior and asks her to continue the ceremony. Jordan quickly whisks her away for their honeymoon and prays that by the time they head home that they are both falling in love with each other. A week in the safety of Bora Bora can change everything, but going home proves to be another story. Is their new love strong enough to survive the real world, mainly is it strong enough to survive in Jordan’s world?
What an amazing quick story. Insta chemistery, off an running down the isle!!! This story is so written in a way that you don't feel like you miss anything. The story moves a rapid pace, but you don't miss any of the feels that are jumping off the page. Including the ones you want to fan you face!!!
Arrange Marriage. Pregnant. Ultimatum. What could happen? A whole lot!!!!
Jordan and Megan's story may start off by being thrown together by their parents for the good or bad. But the outcome has can set you on fire for love or burn you down to the ground.
This story is not just a romance, it's fun, flirty, some drama and more.
***ARC received in exchange for an honest review***
Another amazing release from KL Donn! When Meagan shows up for her wedding the last thing she expected was to find happiness. Single, pregnant and forced to marry to save face for her family the last thing Meagan wants is to go through with the wedding, until she sees the groom that is. Jordan, the groom, agreed to the wedding to get his family off his back and take over the family company. Never did he expect to want to make the marriage real and the instant protectiveness he would feel for his new wife and her unborn child. I loved Meagan and Jordan's story and was hooked from the first page. I loved the added epilogue and the glimpse into their life after the baby is born. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
Love. Love. Love!!!!! This book is sooooo good. Jordan is such a sweet guy but still protective and alpha at the same time. This book was just the right amount of sweet and sexy! The steam could melt your face off!!! KL Donn is always consistent with the quality of her characters. I never felt like the book was rushed even though it was on the shorter side. I had to keep stopping myself because I saw that I was reading so fast. Didn’t want it to end! Great story and I found it new and refreshing. I have read a lot of quick reads like this and it is definitely at the top. Will definitely be a re-read!
