The Wedding Trap

Rate this book
From ugly duckling to beautiful swan

Eliza Hammond has always been quiet and reserved–hardly the best qualities for finding the man of her dreams and living happily ever after. A new heiress, Eliza is financially secure, courtesy of her aunt’s fortune, but even great wealth has its drawbacks since every greedy, fortune-hunting bachelor suddenly finds Eliza irresistible.

To help her best friend, Violet takes Eliza’s romantic dilemma into her own hands, enlisting the social skills of her brother-in-law, Lord Christopher “Kit” Winter. Kit helps transform Eliza into a stunning belle, certain to attract a worthy beau. There’s just one problem: Eliza has always been head over heels in love with Kit, the very man who is trying to find her a husband! But during Eliza’s sometimes-comic extreme makeover, and with a few secret love lessons from Kit on the side, sparks–and passionate kisses–begin to fly. Kit soon finds himself completely overcome by an all-consuming desire for Eliza. But if he fails to realize his true love for her, he may lose this fair lady forever..

After being rather "meh" about The Husband Trap and definitely disliking The Wife Trap, I was pleasantly surprised by The Wedding Trap.

Kit and Eliza are a very nice couple. Friendly acquaintances since Kit's brother Adrien and Eliza's best friend Violet married, they start from a really nice place in this story. Eliza has had a huge crush on Kit since he danced with her (at Violet's urging) one night at a ball, but has decided to put that behind her and attempt to find a decent, unexceptional man to marry.

This is a Pygmalian story, which is fine with me. I love make-overs and Eliza is in desperate need of one. Raised by her penny-pinching aunt, all her clothes are made of the cheapest fabrics, in loose-fitting, unappealing styles. Her hair is long and pulled back tightly at her nape and it and her skin clash with her clothes. Add to that her incredible shyness and bookish tendencies and she's a wallflower for sure.

When the nasty old aunt passes away, Eliza inherits a very large fortune. Now she's being pursued for the first time in her life and the pursuers are blatant fortune hunters who couldn't give a hoot about her. Violet decides that Kit should help Eliza with the social graces (as he did for her) and he agrees with the stipulation that it's a total make-over.

That's the set-up. Simple. Nothing new, but really sweet. Both characters pop and their chemistry works well. The characters from the previous books are much more appealing on the sideline, as well.

I'm looking forward to reading Warren's "mistress" series now, when I was a little worried after The Wife Trap. Now I feel like my initial reaction to her Byron series was not off and that's a relief. :D

My review contains spoilers and they're mostly my thoughts as I went with the book. This one's got 3 parts.


I've read 8 chps and I'm not still not into it. The storyline is usual, not bad yet not quite grabbing me the way I thought it would. Feels too much like Romancing Mister Bridgerton, only Eliza isn't as impressive as Penelope, yet!

I'm not sure about Kit. I now know that I don't really feel like respecting heroes who think they're maybe in need of a woman too much just because they suddenly find themselves fantasizing about/attracted to the so-called 'ugly, spinsterish' relations/friends of relations. I really loved Romancing Mister Bridgerton, I still adore Colin (the last part of the book made it all up to me) but on my 3rd read I've realized if a man had such demeaning thoughts (not the fantasizing part mind you! :p) about me, I'd stay thousand miles away from that guy. I liked that Kit defended Eliza's honor, still ... He seems immature to me. I've read about more matured and strong-minded heroes who were as old as/younger than Kit. Really don't know. Let's see.
****************

Hmm, about halfway through but I'm really not that hooked. Kit is immature, Eliza is still a doormat. Kit even has this 'insatiable appetite' thing like Colin. I've read better. I'm rather interested in Lance. Loved Darragh and Jeannette's crazy chemistry so much more than this. Call me a nutcase but this one isn't proving to be that interesting. :|
****************

IDIOTS! Really, both of them. I was SO bored that I got pissed off!!! Eliza was forever jumping into bed with Kit, no matter what! At least, she spent half the book thinking about it, even when she was engaged. Sorry but I didn't find Eliza's abuse of trust very funny. How could she do that to a man who said 'I Love You' to her, even before Kit? A perfectly honest man at that, a man knowing she wasn't a virgin anymore (that's right, Kit!) was willing to marry her. For shame!

And, Kit? This is what he did throughout the book (at least the half he hadn't spent giving boring lessons to confused doormats!): When he was being denied a lollypop he ignored all his life, now thought he wants, Kit suddenly realized he 'loves' that aforementioned lollypop. He started beating people off, spent time scowling and glaring at others. Ughhh! This must make sense cause he was that immature. *gag*

Lance (even Lord Maplewood) deserved better. Would've love to read their book since both are deserving of their HEA IMO.

Sad truth is, I wasn't impressed by neither Kit nor Eliza. The whole book was a waste of time for me.

Don't know how people thought it was the best of the three! 2.5 stars.

By far the BEST of the three books (1st one comes in close second) for me. And it surprised me because after reading the second one I was underwhelmed and not sure what to expect but goodness this was really good. Loved loved loved Kit and Eliza. I adore and loved the hero Kit in this. He just made me swoon. His humor whit and charm is so infectious and lovable and Eliza is adorable. The starting off as friends and Kit starting to fall for her was really sweet. The innocent set up is what made the whole plot so delicious. I loved the little 'lessons' Kit gave Eliza to try and teach her but ended up getting carried away. The build up was really nice while a little slow and dragged out at times the second half of the book and ending more than makes up for it. I was not expecting the intense angst in this one I was expecting more light-hearted fun given the main characters but I was really surprised. I think the last few chapters is what really made me love the book more. I wasn't expecting it but jesus the love between them and how it grows is amazing and addictive to read. I don't think there was anything I disliked about this book which is rare for me. lol Really fun playful delightful read while at the same time very passionate. And it's not even just in the physical sense but through words and dialogue which is what's really nice and surprising. I really like this author's style of writing and use of dialogue. Beautifully done. Awesome book!

This book GOT ME SWEATING like HELL!

I fell in love with the first book, husband trap and i thought i might try the others.

So let me get this out: this book sent me blazing with heat from head to toe. And that is NOT an exaggeration!

There were utterly sweet and totally passionate scenes that made my chest clenched it hurts. A book has never made my heart ache like this one did and i enjoyed every minute of it.

I have totally read more detailed and steamy book before but this was really special. I don't know why...

Maybe it's because, in tons of book where there's instant physical attraction; the romance in her progressed in a believable manner, the lust and desires where completely reasonable after the two got to know each other.


The heroine was one of the few reasonable and smart heroines i have come to encounter this days. In tons of books where the heroine gives in to easily, becomes really really stupid, and really annoyingly feisty (uggh...i had a taste of this one a little to many) or to freaking unreasonbly stubborn or prideful, it's great to read about a shy girl coming out of her shell and changing into a confident, beautiful, and charming, yet still a humble, kind, smart, and charmingly shy young woman.

The plot is interesting and is enought to catch my attention. It was totally gripping and i finished it in a day.

Our heroine finds herself the successor of a great wealth. She's quite boring-looking and always the wallflower but because of her inherited wealth, finds herself some suitors.

So she is in need of a husband, in order to find and attract a suitable one she needs to get her head out of books and activate her social life.

Her best friend, our heroine from the first book, ask our hero, her brother-in-law, to help.


The hero reluctantly agrees and help her with a major make-over. She stuns everyone, even our hero with her hidden beauty no one really did see before.

The hero becomes her mentor. Teaching her ways of the society; how to talk, what to talk about, how to be charming, how to greet, how to be that and how to do this..

In the process, our hero begins seeing her as more than a friend and that wasn't denied by the intnest lust he suddenly feels towards her.


“Eliza.”

“Yes?”

“One last thing,” Kit said. “If your curiosity persists and you find yourself tempted to experiment further in the realm of the physical, don’t go to any of your other suitors. I am still your mentor.” Reaching out, he stroked the edge of a knuckle over the delicate curve of her cheek. “If you wish to have more lessons in love, you need only say. I shall teach you whatever it is you care to learn.”

One of my fave scenes was when the heroine asked the hero to teach her how to kiss. AHHHH....that was HOT HOT HOT!

He was consumed to lust and it took a while to realize how he feels.

I love seeing the hero get really jealous; which he does a lot in this book.

This book was beautifully written, it will be really memorable and i wont deny this is simply going strait to my 'favorite book shelfs'.

I strongly suggest this book to anyone dying for a some hot steamy romance :)

It took him waaaay too long to realize he was in love with her, and I didn't really believe him when he did. But the library scene? THAT'S HOT.

Dördü hak ediyor mu emin değilim ama üçü de hak etmediği kesin😌

Serinin ikinci kitabını Jeannette karakteri yüzünden atladım... Ha sinir olmayı bırakır da boşluğuma denk gelirse belki bir gün okurum😒

Karakterler harikaydı, ne eksik ne fazla🤓
Eliza'ya bayıldım. Kadın karakterin sessiz ve asosyal (kitabın ortalarına kadar en azından) olmasından kaynaklı sevmeyen, uyuz olan birçok kişi çıkabilir ancak yazarın anksiyete sahibi bir karakter yaratmaya çalıştığı o kadar belliydi ki... o yüzden elimde olmadan empati yaptım. Teyzesinden kaynaklanan o bastırılmışlığı, ailesi olmadığı için kendini yalnız ve yetersiz görmesi o kadar iyi yansıtılmış ki bence Eliza'ya sinir olmayın sarıp sarmalayın🥹

Kit karakterini birçok historical romancede olduğu gibi çapkın, umursamaz, şımarık sonradan ehlileştirilen erkek karakterlerden biri olacağını beklerken öyle çıkmadı. Kendi hobileri olan ancak eğitim hayatından sonra ne yapacağını bilmeyen bir karakterdi. Düzeni olmadığı için de yer yer evlilik korkusu olan, sorumluluk için genç olduğunu düşünen kısacası günümüz gençlerine benziyordu açıkçası.

Aslında Eliza ve Kit çiftinin kimyasını çok sevdim. Ama başta uyarmakta fayda var serinin birinci kitabındaki o hızlı yaşanmış aşktan sonra bu sonuncu kitapta slow burn bi aşk hikayesi okuyacaksınız. Yani 'ne zaman öpüşcekkk bunlar' diye çıldırabilirsiniz ama pes etmeyin sonrasında smut sahneleri hızla gelişiyor❤️‍🔥🤭

Sadece ilk kitaptaki gibi mutluluklarını daha uzun vadeli okumak isterdim. Çoğu historicalda olduğu gibi sonlara cilveli bi çift tıkıştırmış yazar neyse...😔 Ama olsundu sevdimdi.

Dipnot: Ahhh Lancelot... hiçbir evrende yüzün gülmeyecek mi Lancelot..🥲 yazarın sırf şu karakterin hatırına bi kitap daha yazması lazımdı ya neyssse.

Eliza, shy wallflower who recently became an heiress, gets her happily ever after with her unrequited love, Kit.

When Violet suggests that Kit helps Eliza overcome her shyness so that she can finally have a successful season, Kit is less than enthusiastic. The transformation he instigates leaves everyone, himself included, amazed, and it's not long before he finds himself more than a little interested in the formerly reserved Eliza.

Eliza is doing her best to not let her feelings about Kit that she thought she'd buried, come back to life, but despite her numerous suitors, she is unsuccessful.

Unfortunately, she is still determined to marry and have a family and Kit is far from ready to settle down, and it takes .

Engaging story about two people who help each other realize their potential and find their way to a happily ever after together.

Out of the entire series this is MY FAVOURITE book. I love the characters so much. The playfulness of Kit and Eliza's innocence. It was just a perfect match.

The story is about Kit and Eliza. Eliza has always been in love with Kit since he danced with her back in Violet's book. Now Violet has asked Kit to help Eliza with the upcoming season in London. Her grandmother passed away and left her a fortune. She wants to find a husband and have a family of her own. Kit has to teach her the ways of ton and thats where the story gets interesting.



He treated her with such passion and never realized his true feeling. I've given this book a 5 star rating. It's a wonderful story; quite witty at times. It's very well written by the author; it's a very enjoyable read.

Eliza has always been in love with Kit. Now Eliza's best friend Violet has asked Kit to help Eliza find a husband. Kit has to teach her how to flirt, how to socialize and the ways of ton. Eliza manages to charm the ton and she has many admirers. Kit doesn't how to deal with jealousy or why the thought of Eliza married to someone else breaks his heart. Wonderful book with a very charming sexy hero and a shy bookish heroine! It was also so nice to see again my favorite heroine Violet with her husband and 3 kids. I am a fan of this author for sure!

Whats to like in a book where the hero does not think the heroine good enough almost till its end. All he seems to want is a good romp with her for no explainable reason.
To be honest, "Makeover Romances" are not my favorites and this book tells me why!
A Doormat heroine who totally dumps the nice guy in favor of our lousy hero who is indeed a very lousy hero in a not that great a plot... what has this book to recommend?
Umm, some random jealousy and angst are the only redeeming qualities, but otherwise the book reeks of mediocrity.
Passable. Totally!

After very slow and dull start, I was pleasantly surprised with this regency romance. Dealing with a mild reading block, this book was just what I needed.

For an accurate historical romance without obscene language, it was pretty spicy. The sex scene were hot and I didn't get bored after the first sexual encounter, as it usually happens for me.

I would only appreciate if H fell for her earlier than after her make-over, this way it's kind of cheesy. The ending melodramatic, but at least I had a good cry 😋 😄

After having read "The Husband Trap" and choosing to skip "The Wife Trap" (after reading the first in the trilogy, I truly disliked the character and wanted to avoid any books that would involve going into depth of her shallow mind) - I came directly to the last in the trilogy. I admit, I was wary to read this after being a little disappointed by the first, but I was glad that I chose to read it regardless.

This book is a lovely read. Scholarly and frumpy Eliza Hammond undergoes a makeover at the hand of her best friend (heroine of the first in the trilogy) and her best friend's brother-in-law, who she has secretly held a torch for for years. Of course he begins to recognize her true beauty, seeing her for more. She realizes there is more to her than she originally thought.

Both characters developed very well in this book and the storyline wasn't incredibly trite or hokey. There are surprising twists that contribute to the plot, helping the HEA along. The love-scenes weren't overwritten and showed up appropriately. (Sometimes, when reading a romance, an author will just throw in a scene for no other reason than to add pages.) I loved this book and will keep it in my collection to read as a pick-me-up. I was pleasantly pleased with this book and TAW. She did a great job with this book.

I felt lukewarm about this book, and I can't quite work out why. The writing is competent, the characters clearly delineated, the plot straightforward - there's nothing obvious to dislike.

There is, though, a faint sense of writing-by-numbers, by which I mean there's little here that I haven't come across before. The characterisation is two-dimensional - She is Shy, He is Young and Thoughtless - and they don't really interact with sufficient brio to engage me. After a couple of scenes where She keeps saying, "I'm shy, I'm shy", and He encourages her bluffly with, "Oh, I'm sure you're not really", the process of her emerging from her shell (which had possibilities) is more-or-less covered off-stage in a quick paragraph, and lots of new dresses.

The plot is Cinderella topped off with - yet again - a kidnapping and rescue: absolutely my least favourite HR trope, as it always casts the heroine as helpless and often stupid, and rewards the hero mainly for having a faster [Insert Here the mode of transport of your choice] than the villain.

I'm being a bit unfair to a book with no glaring faults except its failure to grab me.

Really sad that I gave this book this low rating mainly because I Really loved Kit, and he was an absolute jerk in his own book *GAAHH*
In This book we will have our final love story between Eliza and Kit, Eliza is a typical wallflower, shy, plain and nobody is looking at her in any way, and she's been in love with Kit since book 1, but now it's two years later and kit is finally back from his travels and Eliza just inherited her great aunt money, so it's up to kit to make Eliza a respectable young lady worthy of her new statue .. but what happens when feelings get in the way ? .. it messes everything up, including their sweet, pure friendship
Eliza was such a bore .. better than Violet for sure, but she really had nothing going for her, I don't blame Kit for never noticing her before, and I still don't know what he saw to love her, their friendship was amazing, but their feelings? not so much .. poor Lord Lance, I really wish if he gets his book because he deserves it after what he's been through

At best, this was blah.

At worst, this should have been rewritten.

I did not recognise the hero (he was as boring as a brick - nothing like the guy we read about and loved in The Husband Trap). The heroine was equally boring. I finished the book and remember nearly nothing about her.

Disappointed because this could have been a nice romance with lots of pining on the heroine's end.

FINAL RATING 3.5 STARS

I liked this book well enough. In fact I started out liking it more than I did the previous installment The Husband Trap. However, near 70% in I kinda lost interest. I think it was mainly because unlike in The Husband Trap I did not feel the longing and love between Kit and Eliza develop with the same natural pace than it did between Violet and Adrian in The Husband Trap.

What I mean is that the Kit/Eliza relationship develops at a pace that is slow, but not as romantic.

I think that was the reason why Kit and Eliza's romance didn't manage to hold my interest near the end. Adrian fell in love with Violet in a much more believable manner in my humble opinion.



Don't get me wrong, this book is lovely. It just lacks that je ne sais quoi that makes a book truly remarkable.

In fact, near the end I was wondering if Tracy Anne Warren would write Lord Brevard's story. So, you see when I'm more interested in a secondary character than I am on the main one, you know something bad happened.

I would recommend this book if you're looking for something sexy and historical. Just don't read it looking for an epic romance.

Və artıq bu 3cü seriya oldu, hansı ki 1ci kitabı oxuduqdan dərhal sonra 2ni oxumamış 3ü oxuyuram, inşAllah bir gün 2ci kitablara da növbə çatacaq.
Seriyanın 3cü kitabında ilk kitabın yorumunda qeyd etdiyim kimi sevdiyim obrazlardan biri olan Kitin hekayəsini oxuyuruq. Digər baş obrazımız isə ilk kitabın qəhrəmanı olan Violetin ən yaxın dostu Eliza idi. Eliza Violet kimi sakit bir qız olaraq əlbəttə ki neçə sezon boyunca bəylərin diqqətini cəlb edə bilmir, və ancaq xalasının ölümündən sonra miras əldə etdiyinə görə subay dul bəylərin də diqqətini cəlb etmiş olur, ancaq Eliza üçün əlbəttə ki əsas Kitin diqqəti idi. Kit isə öz növbəsində durmadan yemək yeyən (onunla bağlı ən sevdiyim faktlardan biri o idi) , və qəti şəkildə Elizaya diqqət yetirməyən biri idi. Əlbəttə ki klassikləşmiş bir mövzu olmasına baxmayaraq mən bu kitabı sevdim, çünki baş obrazlar arasında olan münasibəti sevdim. Kit Violetin israrı üzrə Elizaya kömək etməyə başlayır, və onu özünü rahat hiss etdiyi çərçivədən çıxarmağa başlayır, bu zaman da artıq Elizanın fərqinə varmağa başlayır. Aralarında müəllim şagird münasibəti kimi başlayanşey yavaş yavaş sevgiyə dönüşür, və ilk kitabdan fərqli olaraq Kit öz hisslərini baya gec anlayır və anladığı anlara görə və bir birlərinə olan sevgilərini etiraf etdiyi səhnələrdə mənim baya sinir olduğumu nəzərə alaraq kitaba 4 verdim.
Cümlələr baya qəribə olsa da , əsas fikrimi izah etdim deyə düşünürəm. Əla olmasa da baya zövq alaraq oxudum mən.

As so many others have noted, the third installment of the series is much better than the second. The reasons why are simple: the h/h are likeable people you'd want to have as friends, and the plot doesn't have them angry with each other for over-long.

Kit and Eliza are my favorite characters from the earlier books, and I loved watching them fall in love. There were a few unexpected twists and turns to add to the excitement, and the audiobook narrator (Bianca Amato) was excellent.

It left me wishing there might be more coming in the series, but I think all the main characters are paired up!

I hesitated when buying this book, but I'm very glad I did. The Wedding Trap was a wonderful read. I loved the characters and the passion they shared, and the plot was fun and engaging and very nicely written. I have to say I enjoyed reading it from beginning to end and will definitely be reading more from Tracy Anne.
Just finished rereading it, and guess what? Loved it all over again!
Definitely my favourite one from the Trilogy.

Oh boy. I think the is the first time two male characters managed to outshine the hero and incur more interest from me. To be honest I’m a little upset the FMC couldn’t find more interest in either of them over the MMC. The MMC isn’t awful, but he isn’t the greatest either. We get the classic MMC not noticing the FMC after years of her crushing on him until after she is made over and he has spent more time with her. Instead of coming to terms with his feelings early on we get a MMC who feels he needs to get the FMC out of his system and creeps around with her under the gauze on “mentorship” while being jealous of her attention towards some of her other suitors.

The FMC is fine with this as she think his lust for her could evolve until love until, her face gets cracked after they have sex and the MMC pulls the old duty bound marriage proposal. She refuses and throws herself fully into the season. Prior to this she rejected the proposal of a sweet older widower with a daughter (whom with even limited page time) felt like a better pick than the MMC. By the end of the season the catch of the season (and an all around good guy) declares his love for her and proposes. She accepts and is honest with him that she doesn’t love him, but hopes it will grow.

The MMC isn’t a complete ass hat as he protects her from anyone who attempts to bad mouth her early on and repeatedly sets down her evil cousin and he rescues her towards the end of the book from said evil cousin. He even declares his love for her. The problem is after everything it was a little underwhelming. Also TBH I felt bad for the fiancé when they returned. It’s obvious he loved her. He also went searching for her and was overjoyed she was safe and sound. I was devastated reading her give him back the ring and him wishing her to be happy 😢. I need justice for these other guys. They had big MMC energy and I’m a little sad the FMC didn’t pick one of them.

Not a bad read. But it’s not good when you’re actively routing for the FMC and a different suitor. I kinda would have preferred a book where she marries her former fiancé and grows to love him instead.

Entertaining and engaging romance
4 stars

This is the third book in Warren's Trap Trilogy after The Husband Trap and The Wife Trap. The book features the couples from both previous stories but apart from this, stands nicely on its own.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. The writing was entertaining and engaging and the characters likeable. My main problem with the story was that there was a distinct lack of passion. It was a good read but lacked any great emotional depth so it was hard to develop a great feeling for Kit, Eliza or their emerging love story.

Another great annoyance was the huge number of Americanisms that popped up quite frequently in the book. This really pulled me out of the story and seriously grated after a while.

Despite all its faults, this is still a story that I would recommend. It may not be the deepest or most involved story but it's still an entertaining and readable story. 4 stars.

Sigh. I was sO into the first half; the writing was beautiful, the setup interesting, the humour hitting. For once, I found the mmc to be a sweet golden retriever, and the friendship between him and Eliza actually so precious.
But by the second half, the book took a turn with a trope I'm almost never a fan of. And as it went, I felt that Eliza was being continiously stupid (imprudent), and that Kit wasn't actually looking out for her as much as he thought he was (or being honorouable). It stressed me tf out.
However, the angst did hit well, at times

Kitap Adı : Geceyarısı Tutkusu
Yazar : Tracy Anne Warren
Orjinal Adı : The Wedding Trap
Goodreads Puanı : 5.3,85
Puanım :5.3,90





Bir serinin daha sonuna geldik..Tracy Anne Warren'in Trap Üçlemisinin üçüncü romanı olan Düğün orjinal isimli Gece Yarısı Tutkusu konu olarak beni hayal kırıklığına uğrattı..

Yanlış anlamayın çok kötü değildi.güzeldi ama beni kurgu olarak hayal kırıklığına uğrattı..Serinin İlk Kitabı Kollarımdaki Yabancı favorim...Onun tadı hiç birinde yoktu maalesef.Özellikle yazarın bu kitabı yazarken Barbara Cartland'ın Ateşli Geceler romanından etkilendiğini düşünüyorum.Çünkü o konu ,kurguadaki güzelliği ve aşk yoğunluğunu diğer iki kitap da bulamadım..Serinin ikinci kitabı Gül ve Diken'in konusu da güzeldi özellikle kötü ikizin hakettiğini bulması çok hoşuma gitmişti.



Bu iki kitapda da dikkat çekmeyen çekingen bir karakter vardı Violet'in samimi arkadaşı..Onun gibi kitap kurdu. Fakat kendine güven duymayan kimse ile yüz yüze konuşamayan bir genç kız. Üstünde hep bol kıyafetler olan paspal Lady Eliza Hammond..Violet'in sırdaşı dostu..Yıllardır birine çok aşıktır...Lord Christopher Winter...




Namı diğer Kit... Yakışıklı ve karizmatik Dükümüz Adrian Winter'in kardeşi..Sorumsuz kendini beğenmiş ne yaptığına karar veremeyen yakışıklı karizmatik Kit Winter..


Hikayenin başladığı zamanlar da Violet dört çocuk sahibi güzel bir düşes. Adrian ile çok mutlu huzurlu bir hayatı var. Diğer cadı ikiz Jeannette'nin Darragh ile mutlu bir evliliği vardı..Ve Eliza artık Kit'e aşık olmaktan vazgeçmişti veya o öyle sanıyordu...


Eliza'nın hasis ve aksi teyzesi ölüp de mirasını oğlu yerine Eliza'ya bırakması ile bir anda gündemde öne çıkmıştı genç kız..tabii ki para avcısı erkeklerin de gündemine girmişti. O tarihte yurt dışından yeni dönen Kit'ten Violet yardım ister. Tek dostunun para avcıları tarafından suistimal edilmememesi ve sosyeteye uyum sağlayabilmesi için Kit'den ona bir takım ders?? vermesini rica eder..

Sevgili yengesini kırmak istemeyen Kitt bunu kabul eder ve dersler başlar tabii ki...

Önce Eliza'nın dış görünüşü değiştirilecektir..Bu kısmı okurken aklıma My Fair Lady geldi hemen. En sevdiğim temalardan olduğu için bur kısımlar çok hoşuma gitti...
Şimdiye kadar o pısırık silik genç kız adeta çiçek gibi açarak güzelleşir ve bir anda sosyetinin en gözde erkeklerinin ilgi odağı haline gelir.Muhteşem bir silkiniştir bu genç kız için..Ve Kitt'de farkına varır Eliza'yı ama o şişmiş egosu başına iş açacaktır.


Derken Eliza daha başka şeylerde öğrenmek ister...Mesela şimdiye kadar hiç öpülmemiştir?!!..Gibi şeyler tam anlamı ile ateş ile barut misali...


Kötü bir hikaye değildi ama bence yazar Barbara Cartland gibi bir yazardan esinlenmemiş bu hikayede veye yazarken biraz sıkılmış sanki. Daha değişik bir kurgu ve duygusal bir roman beklerekn bu son biraz yavan sıradan oldu gibi geldi..Yine de okurken oldukça zevk alabilirsiniz..Okurken eğlenebilirsiniz...
Özellikle historical severlerin beğeneceği bir hikaye...

I finished the wedding trap and LOVED IT! I skipped the second book finding ther heroine (which was introduce in the first book) a selfish and self-centered female and thought she DOES NOT DESERVE A HAPPY ENDING! UGHH!! I DESPISE HER!

Anyway...this is my favorite of the series. I have read a lot of historical romance and knew the cliche's and feeling and lust all to well. This book, however was magic! I LOVED IT! THis is one of my fave Historical Romance among ALL the others i have read.

Compared to my top-fave-list mostly composed of magic, poignancy, heart-aching, tear-jerker romance, it's hard to believed this (= made it's way into my top 5.

This is a light, sensual and steamy read. Yes steamy. It was hot and made me ache inside. The sexual tension between the characters was so strong you can cut it with a knife but also with reasonable and believable amount of time; just enough time for their feelings to stir. The progression of their romance was a delightful read. I LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

I don't know what made this special. I guess it was the teacher-student romance that got me. I LOVE FORBIDDEN!

Or maybe, it was because the writer was simply amazing and knows what readers want. Transforming something simple into something great.

OUr heroine is shy, clever, and passionate young woman with an adorable innocence. Our hero was ask to be her mentor as she hunts for husband.

He reluctantly agrees and they did a lot of lessons together. As their desire begins pulling them together, our hero gives our heroine more....passionate and intimate lessons that drove me CRAZY! It was simply to much! Our hero tries to act differently but he knows she wants our heroine. Wants her for himself and he becomes overly and insanely jealous when suitors starts paying a visit. guilty pleasure!

Over all: totally recomended
