Marrying Mischief Kindle Edition

4.1 out of 5 stars 13 ratings

Inheriting an earldom had obviously gone to Nicholas Hollander's head. After he'd left Emily's reputation in tatters years before, how could he expect that she would ever agree to marry him? Yet still he insisted that her rash efforts to find her missing brother had left them no choice but to wed, and straightaway.

Nick's youthful defection had ruined Emily Lovenye's prospects. So it was no wonder that the vicar's daughter still wanted nothing to do with him. Unwittingly compromised into a hasty marriage, his courageous Emily was giving him the devil of a time as he struggled to win back her trust and turn their inconvenient union into wedded bliss.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mystery and suspense always claimed a place in Stone’s novels because danger and enforced proximity lend an edge and conflict to a relationship! Everyone loves a protective hero. However, often it’s the heroine who saves the hero’s bacon in her books! Strong women and warrior type guys abound in her family, so she finds plenty of inspiration for the attitudes of the characters.

Stone’s genre has changed with the latest novel, The Mayhurst Murder. This one is a mystery written as L. J. Stone. If you want a steamy romance with a dash of danger, choose one she has written as Lyn Stone. Her books are available on Amazon.com and other online book stores.

Stone began a writing career with a mystery/romance, The Wicked Truth, in 1997 and has since written over thirty traditionally published novels and novellas. These books have been translated into sixteen languages for readers around the globe and she is a winner of the coveted Maggie Award for Romantic Suspense presented by the Georgia Romance Writers.

A few former occupations include draftsman, illustrator, historical painter and portraitist. Art is now relegated to a hobby because “writing is such fun.” Stone is a native of Georgia, lived in Texas and Germany, traveled across the U.S.A. and most of Europe and currently resides in Alabama.

    Sweet book. No meanness between the main characters as in some historicals, just several misunderstandings. I feel like there was something missing, though, like maybe there wasn't much of a plot... I can't really put my finger on it, but I just know it wasn't the best story I've ever read. If you already have it, I'd say read it, but don't go through any trouble to get a copy if you don't already have one.

    Emily Lovenye had loved Nicholas Hollander once upon a time. He had nearly ruined her reputation by kissing her in full view of the entire town, and the next day he had been gone without a word. Emily spent the next seven years nursing her broken heart and trying desperately to find a way to support her father (the town vicar) and her young brother. Emily is about to embark on a journey to London as a governess when she learns that Nicholas, and her young brother, have returned from a voyage at sea. Emily sneaks into the house only to discover that her brother and two other sailors have blue cholera. Emily must remain at Nicholas' house until the epidemic has subsided, which is surely to shred her reputation even further!

    Nicholas had fancied Emily when she was a young girl, and the ill-fated kiss had proved ruinous for both of them. Not only was Emily's reputation shattered, but Nicholas had been forced to travel to India the next day by his overbearing father. Nicholas spent seven years in exile, returning to England only once his cold-hearted, manipulative father died and left Nicholas earl. Nicholas regretted leaving Emily all those years before, but he had had no choice in the matter. His chance to redeem himself in her eyes, however, presented itself when Emily unknowingly walked into the middle of a cholera outbreak. Nicholas offered to marry her to save what was left of her reputation, and Emily agreed. Can this marriage of convenience turn into a love match?

    I am fanatical about reading books until the end, no matter how much I dislike the book. When I can't finish a book, it isn't good news at all, and I didn't finish this book. I read the first 100 pages or so, but I couldn't get into the book at all. Emily was more than "mischief," she was a real jerk. All she did was yell at Nicholas and treat him shabbily, and Nicholas, for the most part, acted like he deserved to be treated so badly. Emily jumped to preposterous conclusions at the drop of a hat and never asked any questions to actually straighten out matters. She is one of the most immature, self-righteous, shrewish heroines I have ever had the misfortune of reading about. Nicholas was way too good for her, even though he could be a little ill-tempered at times (who wouldn't be after hanging around Emily for so long???). Maybe the rest of the book got better, but with such an awful beginning, I don't think there is much that can be done to save the rest of the book.
