Geralyn Dawson blends sizzling passion with rollicking humor to create delectable romances her readers savor. Now the award-winning author of Sizzle All Day and The Bad Luck Wedding Cake shines in a tale of luck, love, and laughter -- in Victorian England.

Something Old
Every woman remembers her wedding night, even if she wishes she didn't. Sarah, Lady Weston, tries not to recall how her husband wooed, wed, and deserted her in the name of duty almost a decade ago. She is successful and content in her role of professional wedding designer, but for all her attention to detail, she neglected one important item. Sarah never had her marriage annulled. Isn't it just her bad luck that Nick now finds himself in need of a wife?

Something New
No man would ever forget a wedding night like the one Nicholas, Lord Weston, endured. But his years as a spy in service to the Crown have taught him the value of patience, among other things. Now back in Britain, his sisters' weddings on the horizon, and haunted by a woman he never truly left behind, he is ready to tackle the most dangerous and daunting task of all -- seducing his skeptical bride.

5.0 out of 5 stars No bad luck in sight for this wonderful author!, April 8, 2001

This review is from: The Bad Luck Wedding Night (Sonnet Books) (Mass Market Paperback)

Geralyn Dawson scores another win with her new novel, The Bad Luck Wedding Night, the latest in the Bad Luck series. This delightful story centers around Sarah Simpson and Nick Ross, and the journey they make from becoming man and wife to actually becoming "man and wife!" Dawson's wonderful sense of romance and humor shines in this story, and she brings back beloved characters from her previous stories to join in the fun. I love the way her Texas ladies interact with their English men, conquering them each and every time. Make sure to put this one in your to-be-read pile, up near the top! You'll be glad you did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another hit for Geralyn Dawaon, April 10, 2001

By 

Donna Palcsak (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Bad Luck Wedding Night (Sonnet Books) (Mass Market Paperback)

The larger than life hero is bold, brave, daring, determined and meets his perfect match, marries her only to have her tell him she won't move to Scotland. Ten years later our heroine, who is plucky, intelligent, practical, and wise, is coerced into going to Scotland to see her soon to be ex-husband. That's when the fireworks begin. This is a wonderful story, filled with humor, great storyline and charming characters, including old friends from 2 of Ms. Dawson's previous books making an appearance. Will our hero and heroine reunite? Read and find out. A stellar book. I highly recommend to one and all

Just like the back cover copy says, this one is truly something wonderful! I couldn't put the book down. The characters sparkle from beginning to end. Nick is honorable and intelligent with a yummy touch of wicked thrown in. I love the letters he writes in the Pillow Book to seduce Sarah. Ms. Dawson's sense of humor shines in this story. THE BAD LUCK WEDDING NIGHT is a keeper!
