Summary: Delightful Story and Highly Sensual Characters
Comment: Delightful story of two people forced into marriage for economic reasons, only to find out that they are perfect for each other. Brenn Owen, Earl of Merton, and Tess Hamlin sizzle together and when hidden truths emerge that threaten their love, it brings out the great strength and character in each of them. Cathy Maxwell is a superb writer whose complex and highly sensual characters sizzle on the page. Do not miss this or any of her other books!

Summary: Very Disappointing!
Comment: Unfortunately, I cannot agree with my fellow readers' rave reviews. "Marriage in Haste" started out wonderfully, but it fell apart towards the middle and became almost painful to read at the end. Unfortunately, while the initial plot is very promising (I loved Tess's dare to the other debs), the romance between the characters is sappy and only just this side of believable. Further, the supporting characters are weak. They are poorly developed, shallow copies of the kinds of characters that many romance authors use to enhance their stories. "Marriage in Haste" had a lot of promise in the beginning, but was terribly trite in the end. Given the glowing reviews her work generally receives, I may try another Maxwell book in the hope that this was just a poor sample of her work.

Summary: Married In Haste Is Truly Romantic
Comment: Cathy Maxwell has produced a wonderfully well written story. I stayed up half the night to finish reading this book.
