Release Day Review:
A Lord to Love by Sara Dobie Bauer
Title: A Lord to Love
Publisher: Carnation Books
Word count: 11K
Genre: alternate universe gay historical romance
During negotiations for a truce between the feuding Price and Morgan families, Lord John Morgan makes a shocking offer: he will give the Price family their land, in exchange for Harrison Price's hand in marriage.
John has long been enamored with Harrison, the beautiful son of his late rival. Harrison is nineteen, inexperienced, and known for being cold and bitingly brilliant. The union seems impossible, and is met with disapproval from all sides, but John is determined to win the affections of the young man he has admired from afar.
Will the frigid Harrison accept the other Lord's proposal, or will the object of John's adoration leave him alone at the altar?
Find out in this deliciously sexy, romantic tale readers are calling "deliciously carnal" and full of "swoon-worthy moments"!
4 Stars!
I found the story intriguing and while short, it provided enough background information to get to know John and Harrison, who were very well suited for one another despite their age difference. While John was quite... ahem, persistent at first, I think he needed to be or he probably wouldn't have gotten anywhere with Harrison and that would've been a pity.
A Lord to Love was an enticing blend of historical and fantasy, set in an alternate world where men can actually marry men, so if you are looking for a purely historical romance, this is definitely not it, but if you're willing to suspend disbelief, I believe you'll be pleasantly surprised if you pick this steamy and enjoyable book!
