Romance title: At the Bride Hunt Ball

To Snare a Bride . . .

To Gabriel Devine, Duke of Wolverest, the bonds of marriage are nothing more than shackles. But if he's to remain a lifelong bachelor, that leaves only his younger brother to carry on the family name. Inviting the ton's most eligible ladies to an elegant ball, Gabriel is certain any one of them would be all too eager to become the next duchess and provide an heir—leaving Gabriel to continue his ecstatic pursuit of pleasure.

To Catch a Rogue . . .

Her social-climbing stepmother would give anything to have Madelyn Haywood betrothed to a future duke. But Madelyn believes the brothers Devine to be nothing more than heartless rogues—especially Gabriel, whose rakish reputation precedes him. He is nothing more than a slave to passion, and she will not be conquered by his caresses—and yet his wicked ways tempt her so . . . See more like this in our Romance ebooks section

At the Bride Hunt Ball

Chapter One

"Don't fret, my dear. Perhaps one day you'll blossom into a beauty like my Harriet."

Miss Madelyn Haywood nibbled on her bottom lip as she weighed her choices. She could scream, making a frenzied dash for the French doors in the adjoining room, or she could retain her composure and nod agreeably.

"Ah . . . thank you," Madelyn replied. Politeness won.

"Don't look so forlorn." Lady Beauchamp waved her fan vigorously in a vain attempt to mask a belch. Her aunt's stale breath was a clear indication the woman was good and foxed. "There are still two more cards to be presented, yes? You could be so fortunate. It's said miracles happen all the time." She started to giggle, but a hiccup cut her short.

"Let me assure you I haven't the slightest inclination to receive one." Madelyn lifted her chin and pretended to look about the room.

"Oh dear," Lady Beauchamp exclaimed, closing her fan with a snap. "That's why you're here, why we're all here. What great fun is this! Just think, soon even you could have a chance to be a duchess!" Using her fan ... read full excerpt from: At the Bride Hunt Ball ebook

	4 1/2 stars!! 10/01/2009
Reviewer: A viewer from Caldwell, NJ US
I loved this book!! The characters were very intriguing and they went after what they wanted! The heroine, Madelyn, was very very clumsy, and her step mother made her feel extremely insecure due to that, (and her step mother was jealous of her and took advantage of her). She was coerced into going to the bride hunt ball, partially to save her friend, and partially to be able to return to the cottage where she grew up, which now belonged to her stepmother. She had no intention of falling for one of the infamous Devines! I also loved Gabriel as a hero, he was mischievous, arrogant, and very much in love with Madelyn. Gabriel Devine had no intention of marrying but things do not work out as planned! I recommend this book!

I loved this book and the interaction between the main characters was funny, sweet, romatic, and sexy. I cannot believe this is the only book by this aurthor that is available, but I certainly will be keeping a watch out for more from Olivia Parker

	Love it...waiting for the next! 08/19/2009
Reviewer: A viewer from Berlin, DE
I was so happy I bought this spur of the moment as I had read everything on my list, and now I found a new author to read. The story was romantic and full of fun. The encounters between the hero and heroine are well written and the story builds at just the right pace to make it believable...and did I mention funny! I can only recommend it and can't wait for the next story in the series.

	I loved this book! 07/22/2009
Reviewer: A viewer from Sydney, AU
It was a very light and entertaining read. The romance that develops between the accident-prone heroine (who is so endearing) and the attractive and sexy hero is really sweet. The author has a very witty style and the book on a whole is incredibly enjoyable! I'm looking forward to her next book!

Reviewer: A viewer from Nolanville, TX US
I loved this book! It's light-hearted and sexy and filled with lots of witty dialogue.I loved the fact that the heroine isn't this great beauty and is clumsy as all outdoors.I enjoy pulling for the underdog. I was pleasantly surprised by this book as I had never heard of the author. I was a little disappointed to find out this was a debut book. I am looking forward to reading more from Olivia Parker. But, I can wait for Charlotte's story next.
