Romance: The Spring Bride, Anne Gracie

The Spring Bride
Anne Gracie
ISBN: 9780425259276
Read February 3, 2016
Part of the Chance Sisters quad: The Autumn Bride, The Winter Bride, and (forthcoming) The Summer Bride.  This one focuses on Jane and her desperate need for security and practicality.

I felt like this one was perhaps a bit more rushed, or maybe a bit more forced, than the others.  Jane's history makes her feel bound and determined to marry for stability and money: she can't trust that her sister's lucky matches will happen for her, and she's not inclined to tempt fate.  She's going to have her season, marry a rich and stable gentleman, and learn to love him over time.  That is, until, gentleman spy (masquerading as a tramp) Zachary Black saves her skin in an alleyway, and she, like her sisters before her, falls desperately in love.

One last sister to go, so this means that The Summer Bride will be Cockney girl Daisy, who is working hard on her dressmaker's dreams.  Despite her best efforts to remain single, the rakish Flynn (the last remaining unwed friend of the first two gentleman husbands) is distracting as ever.
