Saving His Runaway Bride (Dark Embrace Book 2) Kindle Edition

I don't care that I'm almost twice her age.

LUKE

One glance at Nora's image, captured so perfectly on the small canvas, causes a surreal pang of warmth in my chest. Her expressive light blue eyes enchant the darkest parts of me.

As the months pass, that pang of warmth smolders to an all-consuming need to possess the girl in the painting. To claim her. To make her beg. To own her.

Soon those expressive blue eyes will look to me for guidance. Soon Nora will belong to me. I have so much to teach her...

NORA

I've made a terrible mistake, and now I'm headed to an auction block in a brutal mountain town. I should've been a good girl and married the man of Papa's choosing, and now I'm going to pay for my sins.

Before I'm sold to the highest bidder, however, a handsome stranger rides out of nowhere and buys me from the slavers. I'm shocked to discover my new master is Luke Holsten--the very man to whom I was betrothed.

There's no escaping the arranged marriage now, and my new husband is quick to make me understand that he expects not only obedience, but my absolute surrender...

Very enjoyable short read, the second in the series. I read the first yesterday and seen the third was set at Christmas as well so I went ahead and read this one. This one is actually a naughty little book set around St . Valentine's Day. I don't want to wait to finish the series though so I finished it.. I liked this one more than the first but they were both good reads.

4.0 out of 5 stars An unexpected marriage...
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2020

This done in one quick read is an intense dive into another world, part future Earth/post United States, part dystopic rough living, and bands of roving slavers snatching up women to sell off for any number of reasons or uses.

Nora, in a perfect world, would marry for love, which almost by definition means she doesn't want to marry a stranger. Luke can understand getting cold feet when it comes to an arranged marriage, but running away? And in such a dangerous world? Good thing Luke has what it takes to teach Nora a lesson... or two... or three.

This quick read offers a lot of bang for the buck, immediately dropping the reader into the heart of the story. While most of it leans toward Nora's side of the tale, just enough is from Luke's to make him a fully fleshed out, and perhaps more interesting character.

In Saving His Runaway Bride, the second book of Sue Lyndon’s Dark Embrace series, readers meet Nora and Luke. In this futuristic romance readers witness the romantic journey of our two lead characters. Nora’s stepfather negotiated an arranged between Nora and Luke. Fear of the unknown causes Nora to act irresponsibly and she runs away only to be picked up by slavers. What happens when Luke arrives and finds out his betrothed is missing? Will he pursue the slavers? Can he save her? You must read tis book to discover what unfolds. I enjoyed this delightful book wherein readers witness the Nora and Luke’s romantic journey from strangers to that of a loving couple. Nice job, Ms. Lyndon.

I received a copy from the author but also purchased as you have to support your favorite authors (I also have KU and have borrowed several of Sue Lyndon and Sue Mercury books). I really like these short quick reads. I liked Nora and Luke. Nora, who is normally an obedient daughter, can't understand why her stepfather is having her marry a stranger that lives in another town. She tries to evade the wedding but ends up in trouble. Luke, who has become obsessed with her after viewing her portrait, rescues her and takes her home with him. I love that Nora realized the error she had committed and how she struggled to make it right. Luke was awesome in most of his dealings with Nora and I especially like his actions after he rescues Nora, as they prove his willingness to please Nora and show his depth of character. Overall, I like this series (which includes His by Law) and I look forward to reading more of Sue Lyndon's books.

Put off by being sold to a stranger, Nora runs away before her wedding day and still end up in the arms of her beau. This is a wildly seductive tale with elements of past and current. A little strange but not unlikely.

Set up as a bit of a mail-order bride to a wealthy man she's never met, a young woman decides she'll liberate herself prior to the marriage. What she doesn't count on is her betrothed, who isn't aware of her plans, and has something to say about them. Overall a 3.5 because the characters seem to gel in their respective roles.

I love this book!! I have read this so many times of love the characters and the sweet but darkly dirty story line I just want to curl up with Luck and spend the day chatting with Nora. Sue Lyndon does such an excellent job developing her characters and encouraging you to start rooting for them from page one!!

The dominance "play" in this story is a little too demeaning. The woman is treated like a sexualized child. And there is very little plot or character development. If that type of erotica pleases you then you'll enjoy this.
