Product Description

‘I need to marry, and I need to marry at once’
When James, Viscount Demarr confides in an acquaintance at a ball one evening, he has no idea that the potential solution to his problems stands so close at hand …
Amelia Ravenscroft is the granddaughter of a earl and is desperate to escape her aunt’s home where she has endured a life of drudgery, whilst fighting off the increasingly bold advances of her lecherous cousin. She boldly proposes a marriage of convenience.

And Amelia soon proves herself a perfect fit for the role of Lady Demarr. But James has doubts and his blossoming feelings are blighted by suspicions regarding Amelia’s past.
Will they find, all too painfully, that if you marry in haste you repent at leisure?
Christina Courtenay won the 2012 Best Romantic Historical Novel of the Year Award for Highland Storms. Her full length novels include: Trade Winds, Highland Storms, The Scarlet Kimono and The Silent Touch of Shadows.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Enjoyable 12 Oct 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This novella has all the ingredients I enjoy in a book; romance, adventure and tension. For a book of 117 pages there is quite a lot going on, but it all blends in so easily and effortlessly that you just get drawn into it. There is the main story of James and Amelia but there is also more than one sub-plot running throughout.

I liked Amelia's determination and the fact that she wasn't a push-over and James although not perfect, was a great hero.

I always enjoy Christina Courtenay's writing style and this was no exception - I felt transported into the era and caught up in all the happenings. A thoroughly good read, one which I would quite happily have read as a full length novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Escapist bliss 6 Oct 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Amelia is in a dire predicament, and she's desperate to escape from it, but she can't see how. And then she overhears Lord Demarr say that he urgently needs to get married!

Well, she does the only thing a girl can do - she steps forward and volunteers herself. And that was before she'd even seen how very attractive he was!

This is a delightful story of two charming characters overcoming their initial mistrust and misgivings and coming together.

I loved it and couldn't put it down. An entertaining read that is well worthy of the 5 stars I've given it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing 3 Oct 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Marry in Haste was such an amazing book. I read it in less than three hours because I just couldn't put it down. Amelia was such a breath of fresh air and I loved the relationship she had with James' children, it was so lovely I had tears in my eyes reading their scenes.James is such a wonderful character because he is flawed. He finds it difficult to trust Amelia and I loved how Amelia and James had to fight for their relationship and their marriage, when James makes many a mistake through jealousy he doesn't want to admit.A fantastic book and beautifully written. 5 stars definitely.
