Review Time: Mr. Blackwell's Bride by Sienna Blake
SYNOPSIS:
Drake
This marriage was supposed to be another business deal. My latest investment, a means to an end… I need an heir. Which means I want her belly swollen with my child before the year is out.
She was supposed to be my perfect little bride. Quiet. Uncomplicated. Unemotional.
I didn’t foresee the stunning firecracker who tumbled into my life and woke things in me I thought were long dead. I didn’t count on her turning my world upside down.
And I definitely didn’t plan on falling for this beauty.
Noriko
This marriage was supposed to be my sacrifice. A way to save my father, a means to an end… I need to remain childless. So I can exit the contract at the end of the year.
He was supposed to be a boring old man. Distant. Uncomplicated. Passionless.
I didn’t foresee the rude, arrogant and beautiful brute who made my body react like fire and smoke. I didn’t count on there being more underneath his gruff exterior.
And I’m definitely not supposed to fall in love with the beast.
This is a NEW story using old characters from the unpublished novel, Girl Wife Prisoner. This version has no Keir, no cheating and a Happily Ever After. Although this book is part of a series, it is a standalone novel.

OUR OPINION:
Mr. Blackwell's Bride is a total WIN for me!
What made this book for me were the tears. It's been a while since I have found a book that pulled in all the right places and made me cry. Those are truly my favorite books and I was able to enjoy this book from beginning to end.
Drake was truly one of the biggest jerks around...he just really didn't know what to do with Noriko and the new expectations that being a husband really presented. I think that is what made the emotions for me. He was so detached and brusque that to see that develop was magical almost.
I did get a little irritated with Noriko...just because she does know emotion and I just couldn't believe she was so focused on the end game...get in, get out. But watching all of the feelings develop really warmed me to her and I could understand and feel for her after a bit.
I have read several of Sienna Blake's stories and really I never been disappointed. I think I have binged every single one and keep coming back for more...certain I will not be let down.
Mr. Blackwell's Bride is a great emotional ride, one I highly encourage you take!
I am giving Mr. Blackwell's Bride 5 stars.
