Georgette Heyer novels formed Sophia James's reading tastes as a teenager. But her writing life only started when she was given a pile of Mills & Boons to read after she had had her wisdom teeth extracted! Filled with strong painkillers she imagined that she could pen one, too. Many drafts later Sophia thinks she has the perfect job writing for Harlequin Historical as well as taking art tours to Europe with her husband, who is a painter.

Reviews for Marriage Made in Rebellion

[wyvernfriend · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Parts of this were excellent but parts stretched my suspension of disbelief. Captain Lucien Howard, Earl of Ross is severely wounded and Alejandra nurses him to health. They start to find attraction. There is a bit of self-harm in the story but it's not a major point and I think that's part of the problem, there was a lot in this plot and a lot of issues to deal with that were just barely bounced through, which could have made for a deeper story, it just felt like the author held back.Not a bad read but there was a better story lurking under it.
