Tempting Bella by Diana Quincy

As teenagers, Mirabella and Sebastian were forced to marry.  While Sebastian is the third son, Mirabella is a Duchess in her own right.  Sebastian spends the next six years growing her estate so her father can't bankrupt it. While Bella runs wild on the continent with a group of friends.  She is finally forced to come home and be the wife to a man she has grown to despise.  At the opera, Sebastian meets a mysterious beauty.  He is thrilled to learn that she is his wife, yet she is unaware of who he is.  Will they be able to make a forced youthful marriage work?


I absolutely adored Sebastian.  He is nicknamed "the Saint" because he abstains from drinking and affairs.  Bella was a little harder to get to like  At first, she seemed quite the spoiled brat.  When more of her story was revealed, it was easier to understand her "fight or flight" panic when having to become the wife of a man she didn't like.  I like how Sebastian took things slowly and allowed the love to grow.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher.  Thank you!!
