But Prudence, a master at reinvention, finds a new job and home as far away as possible and is finally able to relax\u2014which turns out to be a big mistake. Letting her guard down means being kidnapped and drugged and waking up in a bloodstained wedding dress in the honeymoon suite next to a dead man. With the press outside the hotel, waiting with their cameras and police sirens in the distance, it\u2019s obvious she\u2019s being framed for the man\u2019s murder. Prudence knows who is responsible, but will anyone believe her?<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">It doesn\u2019t seem likely that rumored crime boss Luther Pell or his associate, Jack Wingate, believe her seemingly outrageous claims of being a target of a ruthless vendetta. In fact, Prudence is convinced that the mysterious Mr. Wingate believes her to be a fraud at best, and at worst: a murderer. And Jack Wingate does seem to be someone intimately familiar with violence, if going by his scarred face and grim expression. So no one is more shocked than Prudence when Jack says he\u2019ll help her. Of course, his ideas for helping her involve using her as the bait for a killer, but Prudence feels oddly safe with Jack protecting her. But who will protect Prudence from her growing fascination with this enigma of a man?<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_c1xj561 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_ocvj561  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16466 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3-hearts-1.jpg?resize=135%2C44&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> May 2, 2023<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Warm\/Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $14.99<\/p><hr \/><blockquote class=\"quotes\"><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cDark haired and cold eyed, with a face that looked as if it had been chiseled from granite, and the attitude to match, Wingate certainly could have been a visiting crime lord. But she had been forced to reevaluate her conclusion when she realized he was watching her the way a dedicated lepidopterist might examine an unusual butterfly.

He doesn\u2019t believe in the occult or psychics, he is a man who deals in cold hard facts, but there is no denying that someone is framing Prudence Ryland for murder.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">You\u2019re a villain. No, you\u2019re the villain. Wait, now you\u2019re the villain too? These were the exact thoughts running through my brain while reading this story. I couldn\u2019t keep up with everyone Quick was making the villain. Instead of it just being a red herring which would have made the story more interesting, she just decided she wanted everyone to be a bad guy. It felt like she wasn\u2019t sure where this story was supposed to be going in the end. It felt rushed and lacked a logical conclusion, in my opinion. I did like the psychic aspect of this story and the way she weaved that into the plot.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Jack and Prudence were complete opposites. She was carefree, and he was extremely no-nonsense, so the juxtaposition of them as a couple really worked. I found myself enjoying their relationships and the moments they had together. I just wish it had a simpler ending.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">If you enjoy romantic suspense authors like <strong>Julie Garwood<\/strong> or<strong> Linda Howard<\/strong>, then take a chance on this one.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Michelle<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_po4z561 customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Vvk8va\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/44FkELw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-bride-wore-white-amanda-quick\/1141941656?ean=9780593337899\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-bride-wore-white-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Amanda_Quick_The_Bride_Wore_White?id=CO5-EAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being Madame Ariadne, Psychic Dream Consultant, wasn\u2019t Prudence Ryland\u2019s ideal gig, but it paid well which was reason enough to do the work\u2014until she realizes [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30227,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[83,122,128,48],"tags":[146,304,305,307,482],"class_list":["post-30226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-berkley","category-michelle","category-penguin-group","category-reviews","tag-3-stars","tag-historical-mystery","tag-historical-romance","tag-historicals","tag-thrillersuspense"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -

But Prudence, a master at reinvention, finds a new job and home as far away as possible and is finally able to relax\u2014which turns out to be a big mistake. Letting her guard down means being kidnapped and drugged and waking up in a bloodstained wedding dress in the honeymoon suite next to a dead man. With the press outside the hotel, waiting with their cameras and police sirens in the distance, it\u2019s obvious she\u2019s being framed for the man\u2019s murder. Prudence knows who is responsible, but will anyone believe her?<br \/><br \/>It doesn\u2019t seem likely that rumored crime boss Luther Pell or his associate, Jack Wingate, believe her seemingly outrageous claims of being a target of a ruthless vendetta. In fact, Prudence is convinced that the mysterious Mr. Wingate believes her to be a fraud at best, and at worst: a murderer. And Jack Wingate does seem to be someone intimately familiar with violence, if going by his scarred face and grim expression. So no one is more shocked than Prudence when Jack says he\u2019ll help her. Of course, his ideas for helping her involve using her as the bait for a killer, but Prudence feels oddly safe with Jack protecting her. But who will protect Prudence from her growing fascination with this enigma of a man?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3-hearts-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> May 2, 2023<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Warm\/Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $14.99<\/p><hr \/><blockquote><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cDark haired and cold eyed, with a face that looked as if it had been chiseled from granite, and the attitude to match, Wingate certainly could have been a visiting crime lord. But she had been forced to reevaluate her conclusion when she realized he was watching her the way a dedicated lepidopterist might examine an unusual butterfly. She got the feeling he was trying to decide if she was a rare enough specimen to be added to his collection. Her intuition had stirred. Who or what are you collecting, Jack Wingate?\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Prudence Ryland<\/strong> is a psychic, but she didn\u2019t foretell her future when she woke up in a wedding dress next to a murdered man. She flees from the scene, but her past is catching up to her in the form of <strong>Jack Wingate<\/strong>. He doesn\u2019t believe in the occult or psychics, he is a man who deals in cold hard facts, but there is no denying that someone is framing Prudence Ryland for murder.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">You\u2019re a villain. No, you\u2019re the villain. Wait, now you\u2019re the villain too? These were the exact thoughts running through my brain while reading this story. I couldn\u2019t keep up with everyone Quick was making the villain. Instead of it just being a red herring which would have made the story more interesting, she just decided she wanted everyone to be a bad guy. It felt like she wasn\u2019t sure where this story was supposed to be going in the end. It felt rushed and lacked a logical conclusion, in my opinion. I did like the psychic aspect of this story and the way she weaved that into the plot.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Jack and Prudence were complete opposites. She was carefree, and he was extremely no-nonsense, so the juxtaposition of them as a couple really worked. I found myself enjoying their relationships and the moments they had together. I just wish it had a simpler ending.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">If you enjoy romantic suspense authors like <strong>Julie Garwood<\/strong> or<strong> Linda Howard<\/strong>, then take a chance on this one.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Michelle<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Vvk8va\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/44FkELw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-bride-wore-white-amanda-quick\/1141941656?ean=9780593337899\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-bride-wore-white-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Amanda_Quick_The_Bride_Wore_White?id=CO5-EAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30226"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30235,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30226\/revisions\/30235"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
