Great hero

The Pregant Bride is another great book by Catherine Spencer. The marriage of convenience plot is familiar to many readers of romance. What lifts this far above the average is the intensely realistic portrayal of the hero. He is totally human, multi-dimensional, and so real he jumps off the pages and into our hearts. The reader lives his dilemma and, while he makes mistakes, he learns from them and is changed by his relationship with the heroine and by his love for her. A superb, deeply emotional read.
