Romance title: The Stranger I Married

Lady Pelham could not have designed a husband more suited to her needs. The Marquess of Grayson is a dear and enchanting friend and an unrepentant ladies' man. Their union is solid; their hearts safe from one another. But every marriage has its surprises...

THEY WERE TOGETHER FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS...

They are London's most scandalous couple. Isabel, Lady Pelham, and Gerard Faulkner, Marquess of Grayson, are well matched in all things—their lusty appetites, constant paramours, wicked wits, provocative reputations, and their absolute refusal ever to ruin their marriage of convenience by falling in love with one another. Isabel knows such a charming rake will never appeal to her guarded heart, nor will she sway his philandering one. It is a most agreeable sham...until a shocking turn of events sends Gerard from her side.

Now, four years later, Gerard has come home to Isabel. But the carefree, boyish rogue who left has been replaced by a brooding, powerful, irresistible man who is determined to seduce his way into her affections. Gone is the devil-may-care companion who shared her friendship and nothing more, and in his place is temptation itself...a husband who desires Isabel body and soul and who will stop at nothing to win her love. No, this is not at all the man she had married. But he is the man who might finally steal her heart...

THE STRANGER I MARRIED

Chapter One

Four years later

"His Lordship is at home, my lady."

For a great many women such a statement was a common utterance and nothing of note, but for Isabel, Lady Grayson, it was so rarely heard, she could not remember the last time her butler had said the same to her.

She paused in the foyer, tugging off her gloves before handing them to the waiting footman. She took her time with the task, taking the extra brief moments to collect herself, and ascertain that her racing heart was not outwardly visible.

Grayson had returned.

Isabel could not help but wonder why. He'd rejected every missive she sent to his steward, and had sent none to her. Having read the dowager's letter, she knew what had broken him that day he'd left both London and her. She could imagine his pain, having seen his initial excitement and subsequent pride at becoming a father. As his friend, she wished Gray had allowed her to provide him more than just that one hour of comfort, but he'd turned away from her, and years had passed.

She smoothed her muslin skirts, and touche ... read full excerpt from: The Stranger I Married ebook

	Very satisfying: Recommended 10/17/2009
Reviewer: A viewer from NZ
This book's attraction were the excerpt and glowing reviews. And as well, I like the tensions of "estranged marriage" plots. A couple of weeks ago, I read the bonus epilogue on the author's web-site. So, this was a one-sitting read - curiosity as to how the H/H would get their HEA. Ms Day's smooth prose and a hero younger than his heroine kept me interested. I really really liked Pel, the heroine; her younger husband not as much. But Gray's only 26 - and the strength of his unwavering passion for Pel redeems him in my eyes. (Their passionate scenes were very earthy.) Initially was a little taken aback by so much graphic language from either a Regency hero's thoughts or between the H/H. I suppose this was to emphasise the growing emotional bonds - particularly Gray's to/for Pel - between them. Only 4 stars as I found the plot and/or characterisation, especially in relation to Pel's brother & Gray's family, uneven or flat; lacking somehow. Hope You enjoy as much as I did!

Reviewer: A viewer from san antonio, TX US
I enjoyed the book. At times Isabel was a bit annoying though. She seemed to focus too much on how her previous husband cheated on her and then on Grey's past relationships, instead of what they could have in the present. Overall though I really did like it, and will probably read it again.

Reviewer: A viewer from Paris, FR
Lord Grayson and Lady Pelham married for convenience, so they could pursue their respective affairs without dreading either debutantes' endeavours for him or proposals for her. Following the death of his lady love, Grayson disappeared for 4 years. When he comes back, he is changed and wants more than a marriage of convenience with his beautiful attractive wife. This is the story of how he seduces his wife (litterally!). Good characters, very hot love story. recommended if you are into this genre.

Most historical are not super sexy. This one is about equal to Lora Leigh on the flame meter. Made me want to try her other ones.
