Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | Austin Randolph Jamison, Ninth Duke of Bradford, met the uncanny beauty at the ball at Bradford Hall. And from that first moment, he was stunned. How could this unsophisticated female, who climbed trees in a ball gown to rescue a kitten, know secrets that could ruin his family and speak of danger that threatened them all? Who was she, this American bluestocking who knew too much, whose innocence shone in her eyes even as her full lips tempted sin? Suddenly the duke knew he could not afford to let her go.
Some called it a gift. To Elizabeth Matthews, however, her visions were a responsibility that bound her to protect others from danger, no matter that the gossipmongers whispered she was chasing the duke to the altar. She vowed to use her powers to protect Austin at any cost, reckless of the passions that drove her into his arms, the need that made her his bride, never expecting her marriage to turn into a love match that would become the ton's most delicious scandal.

 Perfect mix of romance, angst, and mystery Jul 31, 2010
American beauty Elizabeth meets the Duke of Bradford while trying to rescue a kitten from the bushes outside of his house party. He is intriqued with her and thinks that she is beautiful, but when she questions him about his brother who was said to have died at Waterloo, he begans to wonder what her motive is. Elizabeth has a gift. She has visions, and she sees danger coming for the handsome Duke. While trying to figure out if Elizabeth is telling the truth about her visions and investigate his "dead" brother, Austin slowly starts to fall in love with her.
I really liked this book. So many times historical romances are bogged down by angst and misscommunication. This novel had just the right amount of lover's quarrel without being overwhelming or annoying. I really liked the heroine and her carefree spirit. Austin is a lovable hero. He is an alpha male that isn't annoying. I also really loved the humor! I seldom laugh out loud at books, but I did with this one. The kitten names where funny (Bloody Hell, Gadzooks, etc.), and the mud fight was hilarious. The sex scenes where passionate without being too much or blah. The mystery was good, but it did not over take the book. Character development and the love story were still the main focus. I really enjoyed this novel and will definitely be picking up another Jacquie D'Alessandro book.
 A 'feel good' romance Mar 28, 2010
A lovely romance that made me feel all gooey inside. I would have liked to have given it 5 stars but I didn't enjoy the aspect of the story where Elizabeth and Austin break up because of her concerns about her future baby - it distracted from the main story and didn't ring true to Elizabeth's character and the blooming love between them. Nevertheless, I love both the characters - Austin was wonderfully romantic and sexy and Elizabeth's psychic abilities adds an extra twist to a lovely romance.
Really 41/2 stars.... Jan 21, 2010
Jacquie D'Allessandro is the real deal. Red Roses Mean Love and Bride Thief are 2 of my favorite romance novels EVER. Whirlwind Wedding is also terrific, but not quite as great as the other two mentioned...(that's why I give it 4.5 stars). But whatever the rating.....this is a must read book. It is captivating, engrossing, and totally addicting. You will not be able to put it down and the ending will give you goosebumps.....good goosebumps:)
Whirlwind Wedding has elements of mystery and a bit of paranormal (she can tell the future!). I appreciated the characters...especially Elizabeth's character. She is a breath of fresh air into Austin's stuffy world where he believes all women are out to trap him into marriage. Their banter is witty and had me chuckling throughout the book. I loved the gradual attraction that builds and builds between these two and the ending is so seamless and perfect that it gave me goosebumps.
If you haven't read Jackie D before....you are in for a treat. If you have..this one will not disappoint.
Charming and Witty Romance 4.5 Stars Aug 17, 2008
This book had such great humor in the banter between the H/H that I found myself laughing aloud throughout the story. So few authors are able to do humor so well and I thoroughly enjoyed the book because of that, and because of the obvious love between the H/H. I'm not sure the Caroline/Miles bit added to the story. I believe the author should have completely gotten into that romance or either just made a couple of mentions....it seemed half-done, so a bit pointless and distracting to the story overall. This is a great read nevertheless and hard to put down.
A Good Read Mar 09, 2008
The first book in a 2 book series by Jacquie D'Alessandro was a good story with plenty of passion, suspense, and intrigue. The characters were strongly developed and the plot unfolded nicely. The author keeps you in suspense up until the very end.
