Marrying a man she has never met to save her family, Clarissa Beresfont journeys to the borderlands to meet her barbaric husband, Alexander St. John Sinclair, Earl of Balmorrow, but when she discovers the real Alex under his harsh facade, she vows to heal his damaged heart.
Once I started reading Balmorrow's Bride, I could not put the book down. It carries you along the story line so well that I could not wait to turn the page to see what would happen to the hero next. I really enjoyed the love story as it developes between the two main characters. The tenderness and humor was outstanding. I found myself laughing out loud when the author had the characters laughing. Yes, I received a few strange looks at the pool. The supporting characters were great, too. This book should be a series so you could find out more about them. I highly recommend this book.
This is what a Regency Romance should be!

This is *by far* the best Regency I have read in a very long time. The characters are well drawn, there is laughter and love, intrigue and adventure. My only wish is for more Regencies like this one!
Excellent book. Great writer.

Highly recommend this book and all others past and present written by Judith A. Lansdowne. She is very imaginative. Not only does she write romance but also adds intrigue, mystery and comedy.Her characters seem to come alive.Please do read her books and you will see what I mean.
Her best yet...

I have enjoyed all of Judith Lansdowne's books and novellas, but "Balmorrow's Bride" was the best of all. It is very refreshing to read a story where the characters (especally the hero and heroine) actually like each other. The only thing that would make it better is another 100 pages or so--I didn't want it to end!
excellent - if you like Regencies, buy it!

This is one of the best Regencies it has been my good fortune to come across. The plot is well crafted. There are some mysterious circumstances, just enough action, excellent character development and great dialogue. It was hard to put this book down. If you like Georgette Heyer, if you liked Loretta Chase's The Devil's Delilah, then I strongly recommend you pick up a copy of this book.
