Clementine and Gabriel have captivated me! Their sizzling chemistry that they’re trying so hard to resist is so hot! The touch of suspense in their story kept me turning the pages and I can’t wait to dive into Groom so I can see how their story plays out.
This was a great quick read and left me definitely wanting more! I will be reading Groom very soon!
I enjoyed this book. The bantering between the characters is funny, hot and endearing really. This storyline allows the characters to grow and allows you to get to know them a little. I am sure their character and story will develop more in the second book of the series. You will fine that there is a cliffhanger ending which lead me to want to read the next book but frustrated because I have to wait!
This was my first read by this author, and let me just say, I will be reading more by him! The story of Gabriel and Clementine will hold you captive from the very first sentence. Gabriel needs something from Clementine and while she is hesitant, she may have no choice. I love a story where the main characters have great chemistry and love the banter between them. I truly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the next story in this duet!
Let me start my review by saying that I had never read a Logan Chance book before Bride. I had seen it advertised all over social media but I rarely try authors based on pretty covers (and this is a very nice one!) and their social media presence. When it came up as free for a limited time I figured that I didn’t have much to loose except for my time. I knew that in order to complete the story that I would have to buy book 2, Groom, so I pre-ordered it at .99 and dove in. Bride is a modern day millionaire marriage of convenience story. The type of story that is mostly told by movies on Lifetime movies on cable. I have to admit that as mediocre as those are, I watch them as well! We have Gabriel Prince, wealthy, attractive, cold hearted, closed off billionaire. Then we have Clementine, beautiful, smart, loving single mother of a 4 year old, strong willed, yet poor. See what I mean? Lifetime movie! Bride deals with the back and forth between these two and the arranged marriage that Gabriel’s grandfather has constructed for them in order for Gabriel to retain ownership of the family business. So since this is fiction you just need to pretend that this could actually happen in the year 2019! I have to admit that the story kept me turning the pages, it is also typo free and written in dual POV so you get some insight into both characters. However it spends way to much time describing suits, wines and all sorts of luxury goods that instead should have divulged more information into the characters development. It also wasn’t very long. It stops at 90% then gives the reader chapter 1 of Groom. The reality is this could have been one book and it still wouldn’t be too long. Oh well, I ordered Groom so I am going to read it and see if the conclusion answers all of my questions. I did invest .99 and one afternoon after all!

Clementine is a single mom and has been presented with a surprising proposition, she must marry one of the richest bachelors in her town. The contractual marriage must last at least 1 year and she will be well compensated.
Gabriel has no idea why his late grandfather has presented him with this marriage which must happen or Gabriel will lose everything.
The problem is there are lots of floating questions in the air in why this marriage is even necessary.
This was a quick fast read, your left suspenseful and curious with what’s going to happen in Book 2!
The chemistry between Clementine and Gabriel is on fire!
Holy Hotness Logan Chance brought it in this book he definitely has the ability to write about anything and everything and this book proves it. 5 stars this book earned that and more. He grabbed my attention from start and I didn’t let go Logan always leaves you wanting more. He is just that awesome.
Bride by Logan Chance part one of the Deceit Duet a must read.
Bride is a book people are going to be talking about for a while. It’s the story of an arranged marriage to gain an estate. Gabriel, soon to be husband, the man trying everything to keep what he worked so hard for. Clementine, the soon to be wife, single mother, and a cake baker. Neither of them are happy with the arrangement, don’t understand Gabriel’s grandfather reasoning, why he suited them. Their plan to marry, get a divorce in a year, Gabriel gets to keep everything, and Clementine ten million dollars richer. Clementine perceives Gabriel as a monster, but what she sees and thinks are true, are two different things, that it starts to get a little complicated.
Bride was well worth the wait. The plot was fantastic, and I’m loving where this is heading. Well played Logan Chance, you have my mind freaking blown away. So many questions, my mind is at warp speed. The more questions and theories I have the more I analyze the story, the more I want. Gabriel’s character is mysterious. He is intriguing and Chance makes you want more. Clementine, is a strong woman that doesn’t take bullshit. She sets her mind and she is focus. Their chemistry is smoldering, and waiting to explode in its full glory. The supporting characters were well written, and I love Erin as Clementine’s best friend. She is really supportive, and not overbearing. All around this book is a must read. Look out for Groom coming out Aug.13.
Bride Review
Gabriel Prince is a rich menace but undeniable sexy and secretly has a soft side. Clementine is a single mom and ready to put up a fight. Due to Gabriel’s deceased grandfathers terms he’s to marry Clementine in order to inherit his riches and business. Clementine agrees after a hefty amount will be paid to her in the end. But will to two make it down the aisle to say I do…?
This book is quiet the page-turner full of secrets, lies, and some hotness. The sexual desire is there for sure but will they decide to indulge?..
Oh and Gabriel has a brother Ronin who comes with his own set of problems.
This is the second book I’ve read by Logan Chance and I gotta say I am in love with his books now just from reading Date Me and Bride so far. I normally don’t read a book that’s part of a series or duet or trilogy unless all books are out cause I just HATE cliffhangers but I just couldn’t wait to read it as soon as it hit KU I downloaded it. At first it was good and soon got better and better each chapter. I couldn’t stop reading and then when I was emotionally invested and couldn’t get enough BAM the cliffhanger. I wanted to cry and laugh like a crazy person all at the same time. WHY Logan Chance???!!
Needless to say I definitely recommend this book and can’t wait until Groom comes out.
Clementine, Gabriel, and Tennyson are going to be a family. That is if the groom can drag the bride to the alter. Who wouldn’t want to marry a surly, controlling hot billionaire who promises you tons of money and divorce in a year?
The tension between our not-so-happy couple is so thick. It threatens to either spill blood or tear up the sheets. The love Clementine has for her son is almost equal to the level she is dreading this marriage. Gabriel does not want it either but is determined to make it happen!
I love the way they push each other’s buttons and try so hard not to give in. I almost tossed the book at the ending. That cliffhanger is some kind of vicious!

Reviews on goodreads. Amazon. BookBub. The book addicts
So I’m just reading along all on this story and
BAM!! I have to wait till the second book comes out !!! Omg ! What a ending. I have enjoyed this book. I can’t wait for groom!!!
Logan Chase ia an Evil Genius!
This book is off the charts with chemistry and mystery.
Gabriel Prince in told to marry Clementine or he won’t inherit his fortune.
Why? She is just the sister of Gabriel’s late granfather’s nurse. She basically comes from nothing. Is a nobody and has a child of her own.
Gabriel makes on offer Clementine can’t refuse. Be married for one year only, so he can gain his fortune and he will pay her a fortune of her own.
When she moves into his house, the sparks fly. The magnetic attraction is real. Will they really be able to keep their hands to themselves? Who is this evil guy Bishop?
There are so many questions to be answered and the author leaves us hanging at such a point, I worry our heads may explode with anticipation for the conclusion of the story.
This book is perfect for a fast read. It is book one in the Deceit Duet. Gabriel is the billionaire and Clementine is the girl he must marry due to his grandfather’s will. A cute story of two people navigating the strange request. The story adds a couple supporting characters that are going to make book 2 interesting. It has blossoming romance and mystery as secrets will be revealed in book 2.
Ooooooh the Bride has my mind just a thinking, I love that in a book!! Clementine and Gabriel Prince, she hasn’t liked him since she was a kid, a drone incident made sure to that and I guess Gabriel hasn’t really given any thought about Clementine..ever…so why would Gabriel’s grandfather basically force these two together after his death? Clementine’s sister who has passed away, Ronin and Bishop Blackstone, we have secrets going on with these three. The cliffhanger was well played and Logan Chance is known to throw twists in his stories (he’s like a mad genius in that area) which makes me so curious how this will be played out in Groom, we know it will not be the obvious and I gotta chuckle about that.
Bride was just amazing, getting to meet Clementine and Grabriel was just awkward under the circumstances and after that they had to work it out. Like how they were going to plan their wedding!!!
I need answers to some of those mysteries, all the suspense and the electrifying attraction between the two.. Is just so hot ..
In Need GROOM !!!!
Need the second part
This book hooked me from the beginning with its mystery and suspense and I can’t wait for the second part. I need to see what happens with Gabriel and Clementine. This is another must read from Logan Chance
Bride was a quick and easy read, with some suspense, swooning moments and a few laughs. You are left floundering around trying to put the pieces together, because we don’t have much background or depth to the characters. I think the next book in the duet, Groom will reveal the answers to my questions.
Joseph Prince’s will states his entire fortune be left to Gabriel Prince with the stipulation that he marry Clementine. When he asks her, she responds “No,” now that was unexpected. Women would fall to their knees for this opportunity. She can not believe it, she doesn’t even like him. Like all little girls she has been dreamily waiting for her Prince Charming to propose. Really an arranged marriage, how archaic.
You need to read this book, you’d be a fool not to. Holy moly this story is filled with lust, comedy and suspense. A non stop edge of your seat page turner is what we’re given when it comes to Clementine and Gabriel’s story. I need more and I need it now I was left yelling out loud ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! You need to bump this book to the top of your TBR list and one click your copy. I can’t believe what I just read I cannot wait for Groom to be released.
This is another Logan’s book that I had to read it as soon it came in my hands.
I just love Logan’s style of writing and this one is another great work from him.
When I came to the end I almost frantically tried to go to the next page not realizing that is over, I needed more!
Clementine and Gabriel are very well built characters and I can picture them so easily while reading. Their chemistry is almost palpable and interaction is filled with witty parts that made me smile, sexual tension that made me fan myself, a dash of mystery, suspense and everything else that makes this first part of the duet enjoyable from the first page till the end. Now I wonder what is going to happen with those two in the second part- The Groom. Did I mention that I can’t wait to read that one too?
Another great and phenomenal book Logan that kept me on my toes and had to finish in one sitting!
“Bride” has many WOW factors that kept my attention until the brain twister heart-pounding conclusion. A page-turner read with slow-burning sensual moments, humor and emotional moments making this a soul-stirring read. I love when a story has mysterious facets that have me yearning for more.
Gabriel Prince billionaire questions his grandfather’s will request. He must marry Clementine a childhood friend is what the will states. Gabriel is a built charismatic man who needs control over everything in his life. Clementine is no pushover and has her own set of rules. She’s a single mom of an adorable boy and a well sought after wedding cake designer. Fever-hot desires weigh heavy in the air, and mysteries need solving.
Spectacular read, with a full cast of powerful engaging characters and fabulous vivid scene descriptions. The chemistry between Gabriel and Clementine sparks. The author has done a brilliant job creating this read. I so look forward to reading Groom to learn how these two get their happily ever after.
