This is the second book in the Wedlocked Trilogy and it is an addictive storyline filled with betrayal, manipulation, power and control and secrets and lies. It is not a standalone and you need to read Dangerous Engagement prior to starting this book. Henry and Aurora had what could be termed an epic love story. He was a teacher who got his dream of being an investigative journalist. Unfortunately, it took him away from the woman he loved. Aurora is a woman who came from a wealthy family, who due to exigent circumstances, broke off her relationship with Henry which led her to become engaged to her father’s business rival. Unbeknownst to Aurora, she becomes a pawn in a game of power and control. As Aurora’s father is on the verge of bankruptcy, Aurora is trapped into a deal that will help free her father. Not one to believe everything is on the up and up, Henry enlists the help of his friend who is a private investigator to look into what prompted Aurora’s engagement. This is one high energy storyline that breaks one’s heart as Ms. Byrd’s words create a spellbinding world where readers can feel the emotions emanating from these characters. It is one intense and thrilling read. I volunteered to read a copy of this book.
Lethal Wedding Book 2 Charlotte Byrd
This such a thrilling book, you just can not put it down. It is driving nuts waiting for book 3. I enjoyed this fast paste, page-turner book with all the twists and turns. Charlotte Byrd is one of my favorite writers. I don’t know how she does it, just when you think you know what is going to happen, bang something else gets in the way. You can’t go wrong with any of Charlotte’s books, I have never been disappointed, not once. I love this story so much I wish I could give more stars but I can put it as my number one book. I received an advanced reader copy from bookfunnel and have voluntarily chosen to leave a review. This is my honest opinion.
Some things were plain old mistakes he wishes he could take back or do differently.
She doesn’t want saving.
Is it too late to save their lives? to rekindle and preserve love of some kind?
Lethal, edge of your seat read you can’t put down!
It’s official, based on this book this is my favorite by Charlotte Byrd so far and I can’t wait for more. Aurora and Henry have so much working against them and with every turn there’s more suspense and so much intrigue and so many obstacles I’m not sure what will happen next. Need more immediately
Heartbreaking, but so much so that you can’t put it down. Hang in there for the happily ever after. With this kind of turmoil, there’s got to be a happily ever after. I loved it.
A black mail scheme of the worst kind. If Aurora does not marry Franklin, he will destroy Aurora’s father, including his company and everything he has ever built. He will make him a pauper.Aurora is in love with Henry and only agrees to marry Franklin to save her family. Henry is a good and decent man and loves Aurora for herself, not for her billions. Is Aurora willing to give up her love for Henry to save the rest of her family? Tough decision. Another depressing cliffhanger. The next and final book in the series has got to have something good to come out of it. I feel like I’ve got a dead weight sitting on my chest from the turmoil, drama and lovelessness in this book. Absolutely heartbreaking.
3.5 **** stars. Aurora’s parents have landed her in a hot mess due to their greed. They have basically sold her to marry a megalomaniac, Franklin to make her father’s problems go away. She is still in love with Henry and Franklin creeps her out. He only wants her because she said no. Henry still wants her but he has a bucket of problems himself. I found this part of the trilogy to be pretty low key which is probably setting up for the finale.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book
I’m sooo in love with not just THIS book, but Charlotte Byrd. I feel stalker-ish when it comes to this series.
This series should be on Cable or Stream TV. I mean you have twists and turns with every page. And let’s not forget the chemistry and passion between Henry and Aurora.
I’m SO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING MORE. I especially need to know what going to happen next to Franklin.
I got my popcorn and my flavored water and just awaiting for the next episode….
I voluntarily received an advanced copy of this book and any opinions expressed within this review are solely and uniquely made by me and I am happily leaving this review.
Heart wrenching: Charlotte’s books never cease to amaze me. The twists and turns continue with Henry and Aurora in book two. Be prepared for the emotional roller coaster of a ride filled with mystery, secrets and betrayal. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat page after page and not wanting to put it down until the end. It does not disappoint, now we wait for book three and I am sure it will be an amazing end.
I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book
Lethal Wedding is the continuation of Dangerous Engagement. Gripping from the start, this well written story is packed with plot twists, raw emotions, suspense, secrets, deceit, danger, heartache, and so much more.
I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.
Aurora and Henry’s story continues in this second nerve bending installment. In ‘Lethal Wedding’, Aurora is still willing to sacrifice herself for her family and father. Franklin is the man that Aurora is willing to shackle herself to in order to save her family and he is so easy to hate. The characters are again well written causing the reader to get emotional while reading. There is enough betrayal, mystery, intrigue, secrets and twists to keep the reader turning the pages. Ms. Byrd keeps the reader in a state of suspense while second guessing which way the story will lead them next. I am highly anticipating the third book in the trilogy and I am sure I will not be disappointed in the ending. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
LETHAL WEDDING by Charlotte Byrd
Terrifically tantalizing!
LETHAL WEDDING by author Charlotte Byrd is the second installment of Ms. Byrd’s episodic Wedlocked Trilogy and continues the monumental love story of Henry and Aurora. At face value, this is one of those “girl from a wealthy family falls in love with a hardworking man from humble beginnings” kind of story, but LETHAL WEDDING is SO. MUCH. MORE!! More because author Byrd entices her readers with a romance so compelling it is nearly impossible to breathe. A love so eloquently described, a reader’s emotions can’t help but grasp the pure seduction and mesmerizing captivation of this unrequited relationship that has been stymied by seemingly insurmountable events outside of their ability to control. Forces so insurmountable they may not only force the young lovers apart in the now, they also threaten to separate Aurora and Henry from the forever they both long to embrace. Despite the tensions, disappointments, frustrations, and tears is the most incredible hope that somehow, in some way things will change and Henry and Aurora will have their “happily ever after” despite the challenges that life keeps throwing at them. I jumped at the opportunity to voluntarily read LETHAL WEDDING, and this is my voluntary and honest 5+STAR review. Whether you read the episodes of this Wedlocked Trilogy as they become available or wait until all of the manuscripts are published to read the whole story at once, Charlotte Byrd’s LETHAL WEDDING should be your next romance purchase! Happy pages!
Lethal Wedding was thrilling and exciting read. We’re back with Aurora, Henry and Franklin. Aurora is being forced to marry someone she doesn’t love, all to save her family. There’s still so much secrets, deceit and betrayal going on and she needs to figure it all out. This story is riveting and suspenseful with enough plot twists to keep you going. I’m really looking forward to the next book to see how it all plays out.
This is an intensely charged book. The anxiety that permeates some of the characters is matched by the cold calculation of others. There never a dull moment in this novel. Charlotte Byrd has created an atmosphere of angst that has me wishing that the 3rd book in this trilogy was already available too. I have read a lot of her books. I will walk out on a limb here and say the suspense in this one makes it my favorite of all of them thus far. If you can manage an emotional roller coaster that doesn’t end when you get to the end of the book…this one is definitely for you.
Henry and Aurora are all consuming and addictive I can’t get enough. Every page there is a new twist and turn that I did not see coming, I am routìng for them so hard.
The feelings and emotion that goes into these characters is overflowing with passion I cannot wait to read more.
What can I say about this author that I haven’t said before. Lethal Engagement and Lethal Wedding is shaping up to be a terrific trilogy. Ms. Byrd usually writes in novella length, long series format but I’m loving 300 pages of compelling reading. Her characters Franklin, Henry and Aurora are so well written that you can sometimes forget they are fictional. The love/hate triangle between these three is complicated and deliriously dark. They are so well developed, the dialogue is on point and I believe payback will be a beyotch. Can not wait for the last installment.
I received an arc of this book for a fair and honest review.
I made the mistake of starting this book late at night and could not put it down. Ma. Byrd spins a web of mystery, betrayal, love and power. Aurora is the daughter of a multi billionaire media father. She has been in love with reporter Henry. Unfortunately a fight spectated them and her life is changed during the time it takes for him to come to NY to find her.
Aurora is forced to marry evil himself, Franklin, to help her father from prison. Henry is willing to risk it all to save Aurora from this fate but she has a plan of her own.
This is the start of a captivating and well written trilogy. The characters are so well developed and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
I highly recommend this book and I am volunteering to leave a review .
Once again, Charlotte did not disappoint. I could not stop reading until the end. The twists and turns of all the relationships is amazing. The chemistry between Henry and Aurora is off the charts. I am definitely rooting for them to over come all the obstacles that are in their way. I can’t wait for the final installment of this series.
Aurora has been given a choice, that is no choice at all, marry Franklin, or her father goes to prison and everyone looses everything. Henry is at a loss how could she turn to someone else so quickly he thought she loved him as he loved her. As more little secrets come out the rocky road just got rockier I couldn’t put in down, fabulous read. I voluntarily reviewed this book.
Did anyone else see that train coming before it hit you with the shocking revelations? I’m still reeling from the effects of my heart being ripped into and I’m not sure who I felt the sorriest for Henry or Aurora. I’m so caught up in this series it’s going to be hard for me to wait until May for the next installment. Charlotte Byrd has me hooked on her books and this series is the bomb.
This is part two of a three part story. It is well written and the characters are well developed. The story follows the characters thru the challenges they face. I’m anxious to see how it all ends up.
