LETHAL WEDDING is the second instalment in Charlotte Byrd’s contemporary,adult WEDLOCKED romantic, suspense trilogy focusing on twenty-five year old heiress Aurora Tate, and high school teacher turned investigative reporter Henry Asher. LETHAL WEDDING should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book one DANGEROUS ENGAGMENT.
NOTE: If you have not read book one Dangerous Engagement, there may be some spoilers in my review.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Aurora and Henry) LETHAL WEDDING follows in the aftermath of several events resulting in the break down of the relationship between Aurora and Henry, and our heroine’s subsequent engagement to her father’s business rival. Aurora Tate would soon discover that she had become a pawn in a much bigger game, a dangerous game of power and control, and our heroine is but a piece in a much bigger problem. With her father facing financial ruin, bankruptcy and prison, Aurora is forced into an arrangement that will free her father, but trap our heroine in a gilded cage. Meanwhile, Henry Asher’s friend and PI begins digging into the event and circumstances surrounding Aurora’s about face and engagement to one of the most powerful men in the world, a man who now controls every aspect of Aurora’s family and life. As Henry continues to drown his sorrows from afar, Aurora struggles with a future that will end very badly.
LETHAL WEDDING is a story of power and control; of betrayal and manipulation; of lost love, resignation, secrets and lies. Aurora Tate is a pawn; a doormat; a little TSTL but her father’s schemes and business practices have placed our heroine in the direct line of fire. Resigned to her fate, Aurora will once again walk away from the man that she loves in an effort to save her family’s legacy and name. The premise is intriguing, dramatic and intense; the romance struggles in the face of revelations and time apart; the characters are tragic and heart breaking.
The saga continues. You have Aurora and Henry then you have Aurora and Frank. My head is spinning. So good. Charlotte, you’re killing me. I need more now.
This is Book 2 in the “Wedlocked Trilogy” and the author continued with the hold on to your edge of the seat storyline and characters that were so well created that Aurora and Henry continued to keep me totally captivated as their story continued to unfold!
Another fabulous story by Charlotte Byrd.
I was totally captivated by this emotional, and addictive romance between Aurora and Henry.
Aurora is left with a dilemma and has to choose between her family and the man she loves Henry,who would do just about anything to save her from the fate her father has pushed onto her.
I really enjoyed this rollercoaster of a story it was full of drama,intrigue, betrayal and Love and I couldn’t put it down.
I can’t wait to find out how this ends.
Absolutely Amazing.
This book definitely kept me on my toes and reading late into the night. I felt for Aurora and hated the position that her parents put her in. She was truly in between a rock and a hard place. I was also surprised to see how callous her parents were and their disrespect for the sanctity of marriage. I felt like they thought marriage was more of a business deal then a union. I am rooting for Henry and hope they find a way to be together.
Book 2 of the Wedlocked Trilogy continues where book 1 left off – with Aurora. This book helps the reader understand Aurora and Henry more, and a little bit of Franklin. Franklin seems to have good and bad sides. Book 2 ends with a cliff hanger and the thought of how bad can Franklin be……??? This is another great book by Charlotte, can’t wait for the last book in the series. Wondering if it will turn out like I want – or what twist will Charlotte throw at us? I think you will enjoy this series as much as I have.

I have voluntarily read and reviewed this free ARC for an honest review.
A relationship between two people under the control of the girl’s parents.
Aurora has never been interested with the company her father and mother established. Though she has enjoyed in all the wealth that her parents accrued.
Now her freedom is being taken away from her. They are dictating that she has to marry someone she doesn’t know much less interested in. Franklin is not a good man but he holds the power of getting her parents out of the trouble that her parents caused by stealing money from the company.
Henry is brokenhearted since he and Aurora broke up. It is compounded when he finds out that she is engaged to Franklin who happens to be Henry’s boss. So many twists and turns in this book. A lot of mystery wondering what will happen to Aurora after she marries the no good Franklin.
This story-line is definitely a can’t put down book. Once you start reading the trilogy starting with Dangerous Engagement, you are hooked. Charlotte Byrd has done a great job writing the books. One more left to come.
Definitely recommend this trilogy. Get the first two and wait for the third one.

Not having had read book 1, I was a little lost, but quickly got caught up in the story. What we wont do for love family or soulmate, makes this definitely worth the read. Very realistic story line that is easy relate able and pulls at the heart strings. Thank you for the opportunity for an ARC read.
Aurora poor gal, being in that situation that is no fault of yours but because of selfish actions of others she is stuck in a situation that would freak out any normal human being.
Franklin seems like a Jackal and Hyde as he proved to have a heart. The introduction of a fourth person in the love triangle certainly increases the intrigue and I can’t wait to read all about her in the next book.
