He would do anything to protect her. Even marry her…

The son of a cold-hearted duke, Nicholas St. Mauer isn’t one to involve himself in society…or open his own heart to anyone. But driven by honor, the reclusive Earl of Somerton feels obliged to keep a watchful eye on Lady Emma Cavensham. She possesses a penchant for passions unbecoming a woman that finds Nick in constant peril of losing his well-structured solitude. She even dared kiss Nick once—an utterly unladylike, and delightful, lapse…

Emma can’t deny the appeal of the earl’s attention, and occasional affection, but she has no need for a man. There are worse fates than spinsterhood, as Emma knows too well. She still mourns the loss of her dear friend Lena, and is determined to prove Lena’s husband responsible for her death before he lures another innocent woman into a brutal marriage. But as Emma pursues her prey, a compromising moment upends all her plans. Now, with gossip swirling and her reputation in tatters, Nick may be the only man brave enough to join in Emma’s cause. . .and fight for her heart.

The Bride Who Got Lucky is a sweeping Regency romance from Janna MacGregor in her Cavensham Heiresses series.

Good story, slow delivery

Lady Emma Cavensham is headstrong, independent and prone to get herself in trouble. After her best friend dies, she’s determined to prove her husband is at fault and to bring him to justice, but the steps she takes land her in more trouble than she can handle.
Nicholas St. Mauer, the Earl of Somerton is a friend to the Cavensham family and is the one stepping in to protect Lady Emma’s fragile reputation time and again. But Nick has a carefully planned life that doesn’t include a wife and, when Lady Emma needs to be followed out of town to prevent further rumors, he’s placed in a position that demands a different course of action from an honorable man.
I liked the premise of the story, but like it has happened with some other books by the author, I feel it could have been shorter or maybe less embellished. A story that should have taken 2-3 days to read for me, took a whole week because of the slow as molasses flow and it just made it another book when it could have been a contender in my opinion.

Delightfully Captivating!

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2020

Lady Emma Cavensham is stubborn to a fault, fearless with her safety but she is intelligent. loyal & beautiful. Her entire focus at the present time is to find justice for her murdered best friend, Lady Lena Eaton (Countess of Aulton), who Emma needed to prove was killed by her husband, Keith Mahon, Earl of Aulton. This obsession led so many dangerous situations for Emma.

Nicholas St. Mauer, Earl of Somerton is a handsome man, self-made riches after being rejected by his father when he was very young & was told not to ever come to the dukedom again, so sixteen years later he has never seen his father or talked to him which was fine with Nick. His mother died in childbirth & his father had turned him out, so Nick made his way alone - after the final words with his father at Eaton, Alex Pembrooke saved Nick from a group of bullying boys & this friendship enables Nick being accepted as part of Alex & Emma's families.

Nick watched over Emma per a request from Alex as he had married Emma's cousin Claire. One night when she left a ball to go buy a book in a bad part of town without anyone know - well, guess who found her, Nick. Even though they had been around each other often at family dinners & holiday, this night brought their first kiss, Emma's father found out about her escapade & sent her to the country. They did not entertain any feeling for three years and then her obsession with finding justice, getting in trouble & being in danger brought Nick back into the picture & I love their friendship & the attraction they could no longer deny but it took a lot of ups & downs to get to their HEA. I loved the ending and the last few scenes left me full of tears, but they were happy tears!

Another Great Read by Janna MacGregor!

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2017

I love reading historical, regency romances just for the pure enjoyment of it. If the author captures my interest from the start, and the book has me neglecting other things because I just can't seem to put it down, or I refuse to go to bed til the wee hours of the morning, I think it's pretty much a winner. "The Bride Who Got Lucky" was that and more! Great story, well written, with so much to offer. Just the right mixture of passion, drama, danger, and most important, love and romance.

Emma is such a strong beautiful lady, a true champion of women who find themselves alone with no one in their corner. Nick is an honorable gentleman, with a kind heart and giving spirit. He's a friend to the Langham family, so their early interaction is one of social meetings, a growing physical attraction, and combative, yet somewhat flirtatious, banter resulting from his natural inclination to protect her from what he sees as her own independent recklessness. They each have deep emotional struggles that will threaten the feelings beginning to build between them.

I love the layers and depths to this writer's characters, not only with the H/h, but also those within the circle of family and friends appearing in this and the first of this series. Enjoyed the interactions among all these amazing characters. A great read from the beginning to the turn of the last page.

Readers Get Lucky with this book

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2017

As the second book in her Caversham Heiresses series Ms MacGregor does another amazing job of creating a strong female character who doesn't need a man to complete her. Lady Emma knows what she want out of life and it isn't necessarily to be married. After the death of her friend Lena (killed by an abusive husband) Emma is intent on finding a way to help other women be more independent.
Nick, Earl of Somerton has been forced to take care of himself since he was a child. Sent to school at 5 and disinherited by his father at 15 he is a loner with very few friends.
The two of them couldn't be more different and yet there is something between them that takes them years to recognize. Ms MacGregor shows that a strong man doesn't have to be threatened by a strong woman, rather than dominate or trying to master his wife, Nick and Emma can manage to have a partnership if he can put aside the hurts of his past and let her love into his heart.

Ending makes up for sagging middle

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

I loved how in the end Janna M. pulled all the emotional threads of this story together. I loved the passion of the heroine and the angst of hero. The ending was superb and riveting as Nicholas struggled and struggled to recognise Emma's needs. It's really a 4.5 star book, but I gave it 5 because I was weepy at the end, and that doesn't happen much with the more modern romances

What I didn't like or connect with was Emma's desperate guilt over her friend's death at the hands of her abusive husband. It felt over the top, and Emma's behaviour at times was on the edge of "too stupid to live."

The other thing is a gripe that I have with almost every romance these days: it's a lust into love story. Fortunately, in the last third of the book there was real character development and conflict that allowed me to believe there was love and affection not just a desire to make love.

Ein shwer einzuschätzendes Buch einer Autorin deren handwerkliches Können sich leider leider nicht auf dem höchsten Niveau befindet.

Auch den Vorgänger des zweiten Teils der Cavansham - Reihe empfand ich nicht unbedingt als super mitreisend, jedoch durchaus als solide erzählte, halbwegs spannende Geschichte mit kleineren Abstrichen.
Was mir dort schon negatiev aufstieß war die Langatmigkeit mit der die Autorin bestimmte Sequenzen ausdehnte und ausdehnte, ehe man dann mal zum Punkt kam.
Das wird hier noch schlimmer.
Um ehrlich zu sein erkenne ich die Inhaltsangabe des Buches kaum als den tatsächlichen Inhalt des Buches wieder.
Über die Hälfte der ganzen Geschichte wird mit einem Handlungsstrang ausgefüllt, den jeder andere vermutlich als Einführung in die eigentliche Geschichte verwendet hätte, und der sich über ganze "2 Tage" abspielt und einfach kein Ende nimmt.
Der Rest teilt sich auf zwischen gut 30 % "Hauptteil", der nun wieder lächerlich kurz und uninspirierd geraten ist, und einem absurd flüchtigen Ende, in dem es sich Janna Macgregor ein bischen sehr einfach und vor allem kitschig gemacht hat. Absurd und uninspiried macht üfr mein empfinden die Hälfte des Buches aus, in der man strickt geheim zu haltende Rachefeldzüge ohne den kleinsten Aufwand von Geld oder eigener Mühe in einem Buchladen quasi "buchen" kann, der nur als Deckmantel für anderweitige Geschäfte dient, weil man so einen netten Eindruck macht, revolutionäre Bankideen inheralb einer Woche mit enormem Erfolg aus dem Boden gestampf werden und eine geplante Entführung ohne den geringsten Einsatz von Drohung oder Muskelkraft einfach nur durch das unerwartete auftauchen einer dritten Person im Flur aufgehalten wird.
Es gibt durchaus schlimmere Geschichten, aber besonders gut ist diese hier mit ihrem unnachvollziehbaren Handlungsrahmen, den zum teil hölzernen Dialogen die ab und an in recht unnnachvollziehbaren Bahnen verlaufen und dem missglückten Versuch von Figurenentwicklung eben auch nicht. Wobei ich das größte Problem in der mangelnden handwerklichen Begabung der Autorin sehe, mal abgesehen von einem ganz passablen Ausdruck und der ein oder anderen spannenden Stelle, die einen doch zum weiterlesen treibt.

Absolutely loved it - Emma is a spirited heroine who has taken on the devil to right her best friend's death - Nick has been on his own his whole life so he recognizes the fulfillment Emma brings to his life - loved the plot in this novel, abuse is not an easy subject to discuss but the author does a magnificent job of covering the horrors of abuse without being graphic - the characters were well-developed and wonderfully interesting
