I received an ARC of this book to read through NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. The Butterfly Bride is the 4th book in Vanessa Riley’s Advertisements For Love Series. I found this book difficult to read as a stand-alone, many times I was confused and felt that I was missing something and so would recommend that you read the other books in the series first. I also had a problem with the narration of the book in the beginning because the narrator has been drugged and is confused and then later and then later because the narrative was like a butterfly flitting here and there and I had to struggle to make sense of the story. I don’t think I ever came to a true understanding of the characters in the book. Frederica Burghley is the daughter of a duke but her mother was his mistress not his wife and so even though Frederica lives with the duke her position is precarious, in that she doesn’t feel secure as she is of mixed race, the Duke has never made her feel secure in his love, she’s been receiving threatening letters and the Duke has recently remarried and she is sure that the new Duchess will not want her around. She has placed an advertisement in the paper looking for a husband. Jasper Fitzwilliam Lord Hartwell is a friend to Frederica and the duke charges him with her care while he is on his honeymoon. Jasper is to help her interview the prospective husbands and keep her safe as the letter writer has become more dangerous. Mildly Steamy.
