Hello Bookworms, it's been a while!! Today I feel like giving spoilers so no secrecy today........ Sorry.Okay, lets start with the basics this is a historical romance with a hint of paranormal activity. Our two main characters Anatole St. Leger and his newly wed bride Madeline. Anatole is the lord of a castle by the sea away from any civilization (besides a nearby village). The lord (Anatole) has mystical powers like all the member of his family for many generations. In the St. Leger family allThe Bride Finder is about the St. Leger family, specifically Anatole St. Leger the current head of the family. The St. Leger family however is not your typical family. It traces it's lineage to a particular man who's as mysterious and enigmatic as his successors. Almost everyone in the family is gifted with a strange power or ability including Anatole. His particular gifts include dark visions of things in the future and the ability to move people and objects with his mind. He's managed to live
I gave up on this book the first time I tried to read it, but I'm glad I persevered the second time because I found it compelling. It would be a rather typical 'nice heroine heals scarred, brooding hero,' except for the danger, the magic, and the emotional impact. Occasionally, I got a little annoyed that the H&H didn't try to communicate things better, but then, really, how short do we actually want our novels to be? The relationship developed rather well, the villain actually managed to
I'm about 120 pages in & I don't think I'll finish, which to me means automatic one star. Just cannot get into it. I need to make a new rule that if a main character has a name completely anachronistic to the period & location, I'm not going to read it. The author is just not on my wavelength. This is just way too slow, cliché ridden, & predictable. I really couldn't care about the constant hints about A BIG SECRET that come on every page. Also couldn't take the obvious lack of
I loved this book! I first discovered Susan Carroll's Dark Queen series and was impressed, so I decided to go back and read her earlier works. The Bride Finder is the first and best of the St. Leger trilogy. It's a beautiful, original love story between two wonderfully drawn characters: the dark and wounded Anatole St. Leger, and the smart and spritely Madeline Breton. Bound by a magical legacy, Anatole dispatches the Bride Finder, who comes from a long line of Bride Finders charged with helping

This is my first book by this author and a little different from my usual cup of coffee, as it brings a supernatural aspect to the historical romance.I have to say I love the way Mrs. Carroll writes. It flows so smoothly and you feel taken into the story effortlessly.Anatole St. Leger is the master of Castle Leger and the current head of the Leger family, a family plagued with supernatural powers and visions.Amidst other powers, Anatole can sense any person approaching him, can move objects with
