Review: His Billionaire Bride (The Morgan Sisters #2) by Madeline Ash

Business investor Carrie Morgan is guarded for a long list of good reasons. She’s battled her way to the top of her industry, dealt with enough bad sex to put her off men, and if her painful past has taught her anything, it’s that commitment always ends in heartbreak.

When Carrie’s sister asks her to sit for a portrait—as a bride—she uneasily agrees. Anything for Emmie. Even if it means intimate nightly sessions with her secret fantasy: artist Edwin Prince.

Rejected by his family and treated as temporary by past lovers, Edwin will settle for nothing less than commitment — and wants that and more from the beguiling Carrie Morgan. Startling them both, she allows him to unwind her emotional bindings one intense interaction at a time, until their chemistry builds so high, she’s blinded to the fall.

And the only way out is to break both their hearts.

My Review:

Uniquely original and beautifully written.  I couldn’t get enough of Carrie and Edwin.

Carrie and Edwin were as different as night and day.  Together, they had a love so strong, everyone around them could feel it.  Carrie was afraid to love because she feared losing someone, so she put a time limit on relationships.  Edwin just wanted someone to love forever.  He was done with temporary relationships. When Carrie’s sister hires Edwin to paint a bride on the side of her building, she wants Carrie to be the model.  Carrie refuses to wear a wedding dress, but Edwin had a way of convincing her to do it.  There was just something about him that could make anyone relax and let down their guard.  From there, the romance builds and it was heartbreaking knowing it would end after only two weeks.  I couldn’t wait to see how the author would turn the story around and give them a happily ever after. 

This book was so good, I wasn’t ready for it to end, but I was happy to see Carrie and Edwin come together.  I wasn’t sure what to think when Edwin’s secret came out, but it added a lot more depth to the story.  At the end, I couldn’t help but get emotional.  It was like watching a scene in a movie that you need a big box of tissue just to get through it.  This book is the second in the Morgan Sisters series and can be read on its own, but I would recommend reading The Wedding Obsession first so you an get a good feel for the sisters.  Plus, Emmie’s story is really good too.
