TheoI went home when my brother told me he was marrying someone he just met. I never expected to find my bride sitting there lost in my parent’s living room. It didn’t help that she was only seventeen. I’ve waited for years to claim my bride, now that she’s finally home there’s nothing that will stop me from marrying her and giving her my name.Ellie Running away to college seemed like a good idea … seemed like a good idea at the time, but it’s only thrown a bigger wedge between us, one that is self-imposed since my sister is endlessly trying to get me to come home. I’ve never felt more alone than I do now. My sister, my best friend, the one person I counted on, has a new family now. I don’t know where I fit.
When my sister buys me a plane ticket to come home I have to go. I never thought coming home would feel like this. Didn’t think there was a place for me. Theo is proving there’s room in their lives for one more. He’s gone as far as wanting to give me his name. Will I take it?
This book is about Jasmine’s sister from The Bride’s Christmas Miracle. As with all my books, there is a guaranteed HEA and is Safe. Follow along for a swoon-worthy novella.

WOW! This was such a roller-coaster of different emotions swirling inside me when I read this story and there were times that made my head spin. Theo and his woman, Ellie’s story was a long time coming.
Theo is such a devoted man for his Ellie. He knew she was the one for him since meeting her at his brother, Ford’s wedding with Ellie’s older sister, Jasmine, (these two also have a book together, called, “The Bride’s Christmas Miracle) but she was only seventeen years old at the time so he waited. He waited years for her to do everything she wanted yo accomplish like go to college. I must say, what a sexy as hell alpha male! 😉 He knew his Ellie had sadness laying behind her eyes, sorrow and fear etched in her soul, due to her mother’s actions and wanted, NO, needed to give her happiness to replace the sadness and also some hidden insecurities that Ellie had too.
I’m going to be completely honest, there were times I wanted to smack Ellie’s head upside down but I also understood that she had years of fear, rejection, neglect and no love from her mother and always hurt because of that made her built a very hard steel wall around her heart to protect herself. She thought she was unworthy of a man like Theo… how wrong she was! Theo was VERY determined to make her see what she was to him; his treasure, his woman, his everything, his forever… ONLY HIS 😉 <3
Now, I 'm also happy that we got to see some glimpses of Jasmine and Ford and their beautiful addition to their family <3 It was a awesome 🙂
But what I LOVED the most was the epilogues provided at the end of this read! 🙂 It really completed Theo and Ellie's journey and ultimately happily ever after in every good way <3 <3
It was beautiful and I'm already excited, anxious and anticipating for the author, Elisa Leigh's next story because as always, I know it will be ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AMAZING!! 😉
Theo saw Ellie for the first time and new she was going to be his one. Ellie was too young though and needed to go to college so he bided his time but didn’t realize Ellie was purposely staying away.
Ellie believed her sister had a fresh start at life with her new husband and didn’t need her around anymore. However she didn’t realize that Theo had other plans. which included a happily ever after.
Fun quickie. You get where Ellie is coming from but I wish the story had just been a bit longer to develop the background.
I patiently waited for this story since the seven brides of Christmas. I always knew I would like this story and I didn’t just liked it, I loved it!
The sweetness of Theo, and the feeling of hopelessness Ellie had me tearing up. The angst in this story was just right. I devoured this book entirely too quickly. The author did an amazing job with this book.
Theo was a perfect Hero, who respected the value of waiting for the right time, and Ellie was such an amazing heroine. The love story between these two was just what I needed!
Thank You For this short sweet passionate love story, Theo and Ellie were made for each other, great job Miss Elisa Leigh!

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Theo took one look at Ellie and knew she was his life but she was seventeen. Ford his brother and her sister Jasmine husband asked him to let her attend college so he waited. He waited in the shadows watching over her. When she comes homes home he can’t wait any longer.
Ellie knows she is loved by her sister. She has never doubted her sisters love for her. It is the love of other that she doubts because of her insecurities that have came about from her mom.
Can Theo show her that her love her with all his heart and will always be there for her?
Waiting on the one that is meant to be your can be hell. Theo will do whatever it takes to make Elle his. Even wait…This is the sweetest story from Elisa Leigh. I absolutely adored A Bride for Theo.
I love Ellie and Theo. They are great for each other. Ellie has gone through so much and when her sister gets married she feels as if she lost her best friend.
Theo fell for Ellie from the moment they met but she was too young.
This love story will melt your heart. I love the characters and how everything just develops.
Great short read.
I feel like i’ve been waiting forever for this book but its only been a few weeks. A bride for Theo was everything I hoped it would be. Elisa Leigh did an absolute amazing job on this book. Theo has been waiting for Ellie for a few years and when he sees her he knows its time to make her his. Ellie has a few issues sue to her mom abandoning her when she was a teenager and think she is not enough for Theo. Will he show her how perfect they are for each other? don’t worry guys this book is completely safe and amazing. Both Ellie and Theo are great and I love how alpha Theo is. This is a must read from this author so just one-click like I did.
When Theo sees Ellie for the first time at his brother’s wedding, he knows instantly she’s the one for him. Unfortunately, she was only 17 at the time so he stepped back to let her experience college and life. Years later now that she’s graduated Theo doesn’t want to wait any longer. While she was growing up and having life experiences, he was building a life for them. She’s home now and he plans on showing her what a life with him could be like and he doesn’t plan on letting her go. How will Ellie get past her insecurities and fear of abandonment and learn to trust and have faith in Theo? I love how Theo is patient and gives Ellie time to grow from a teenager to a young adult. I love reading books from this author! Looking forward to the next one!
Ellie has felt like the an outsider ever since her sister Jasmine got married. The whole family is nice to her but she has to keep them at a distance for her own peace of mind. She goes off to college in Colorado and stays far away from them, including her brother-in-law Theo. Knowing that he needs to give her time, Theo has patiently waited for Ellie to finish college. From the moment he met her, he knew she was the only one for him. Can he convince Ellie that she is his whole reason for living?
Thank goodness for Elisa Leigh! When I am having a rough day, I know that I can turn to her books and be swept away. A Bride for Theo made my heart go all gooey! He is so sweet to her, a complete sweetie. He is so into her and when he finally tells her, she can’t bring herself to believe it. It just about broke me. When he comes to fetch her home, he loses all perspective and is so growly. If you love yummy sweet romances with steamy scenes and insta-love, you must, must, get your hands on Elisa Leigh! 5 stars for A Bride for Theo.
This book was so sweet! I loved Theo and Ellie’s story! I also liked how we got to see how Jasmine and Ford were doing. I can’t wait for more from Elisa Leigh!
I so loved Theo and Ellie. It was great to see Theo help show Ellie how much she deserves to be loved. There is some angst, which I often have difficulty with, but it was done well and just the right amount. This was a nice surprise to the Christmas Brides. It is a stand alone.
Great Book!
I was so excited to read Theo and Ellie’s story and I wasn’t disappointed! It was great!
Theo loved Ellie but she was only 17 so he waited until she was grown up to let her know. Ellie is tiring to find her place in the world and doesn’t think she deserves Theo.
This was a fantastic story!
You’ll definitely fall in love with Theo and Ellie and the whole family!
