Summary: This Book Has Everything
Review: A saucy heroine, a mouthwatering hero, a charming community, fun and wit and passion, this one has it all. Letty and Elliot are both immediately likable and delightfully original. Letty, raised as music hall performer, seeks to escape her increasingly nefarious boyfriend and finds a ticket to a tiny town called Little Bidewell, where she is mistaken for the eccentric Lady Agatha, duke's daughter-cum-wedding planner extraordinaire. Letty, whose luck had just run out, can't resist such an Opportunity and gets swept up in what begins as a rather benign deception. Soon, however, she becomes entangled in the lives of the charming Little Bidewell residents, including the sexy, chivalrous Sir Elliot.Elliot is neither rogue nor rake, but a true gentleman; however, don't be put off if you thought only bad boys could be sexy! He's one of Brockwell's most irresistable creations! The story is chock full of Brockway's delightfully witty dialogue, and there are many humorous moments, but what begins as an undeniable, potent attraction between Letty and Elliot becomes a heart-wrenching and most romantic unrequited (almost) love. If you're open to something a little different but still demand great, passionate romance, try this one! I doubt you'll be disappointed!

Summary: Entertaining and Thought Provocative
Review: As usual, Connie Brockway is in top form: wonderful characters, sexy, witty writing, fast-paced and insightful. The Bridal Season is both very entertaining and thought provocative. The hero, Sir Elliot March, is not only handsome, sensual and utterly appealing but also very principled and faced with a real moral dilemma which he resolves well. Our colorful heroine Letty Potts is a delight to watch as she charms everyone while transforming into a better person through confronting her own dilemma. For intelligent entertainment that's impossible to put down, try The Bridal Season, along with all of Connie's previous work.

Summary: A Witty and Fun Romance
Review: Connie Brockway- "The Bridal Season" A+ This is a Victorian read and reminded me a bit of Lisa Kleypas, not quite as sensuous, but a VERY good story. Likeable characters. I couldn't see how she was going to pull off everything without scandal for the HEA, but she did it and made me believe in it! I'll be looking for more of her books; she's on my to buy list now for sure!

Summary: A delightful surprise!
Review: Get ready for a delightful surprise - Connie Brockway's latest book Bridal Season is a COMEDY! An absolutely hilarious, witty story of a young woman con artist, Letty Potts, who tries to fool the local countryside folks into believing that she is Lady Agatha Whyte, a famous Wedding Planner from London. Everyone falls for the act except for the sharp ( but very handsome) local magistrate, Sir Eliot March. He doubts her identity from the moment she steps off the train but quickly becomes enamored by her quick wit, fast repartee-type dialogue and her astonishing smile (complete with dimples!) The barbs that fly between "Lady Agatha" and Eliot's former love, Mrs. Catherine Bunting are extremely entertaining as is the famous croquet match! Here's Brockway writing in a light, frivolous style that's so infectious, it just sucks you in!! Because the reader's having so much fun, we forgive her momentary lapses like calling a young boy a "tweenie" and referring to her job as that "wedding thingie". A bit too modern, but who cares..There's an unexpected, tension-filled denoument and an expected romance-filled happy ending. Don't miss Ms. Brockway's more serious works: All Through the Night and My Dearest Enemy as well as the absolute BEST: the McClairen's Isle Trilogy: The Passionate One, the Reckless One and the Ravishing One. All highly recommended.

Summary: a joy to read
Review: i am a fan of connie brockway and her latest does not disappoint. it
is a nice change to have a heroine who is not of the 'upper
classes' but just a regular person. the relationship between her
and the hero was great with lots of sizzling sexual tension.
secondary characters were also interesting particularly fagin the heroine's canine travelling companion. oh for a dog that will snatch purses for you! if you haven't read ms brockway this is a good one to start with but be sure and read ' a dangerous man' still my all time favourite.

Summary: A delightful surprise!
Review: I just love Connie Brockway. Her characters are vibrant, real people that you would like to know. "A Bridal Season" was laugh-out-loud funny. Lily Potts is charming, witty, and flawed. Her attempts at aristocratic social graces are laughable, she's loud, ambitious, an opportunist, and something of a vamp, but she is so full of honest good will and humor you love her for it. Elliot March is sexy. If he wasn't make-believe that is. He is a man of integrity and honesty, a man who truly lives by what he feels is right and wrong, which I admire. But under his reserve lies a wonderfully open and humorous spirt, and he loosens up when he meets the woman of his dreams to give as good as he gets. My favorite thing about Brockway's heroes is how hard they fall for the women they love. And Elliot is no exception. I just love the scene at the end where Elliot claims his bride-- throwing all his reserve and propriety to the wind. My only regret is that Ms. Brockway did not show us as much as I would have liked of Lily and Elliot's love scene. Elliot is a very sensual man, but I felt that scene was only half completed. This aspect keeps "A Bridal Season" from being one of my favorite Brockway books. But truly, a delightful & hilarious story. Connie Brockway is one of a handful of writers I buy on name only.
