THE BRIDE INSISTS BY JANE ASHFORD – IN STORES MARCH 2014
She Thinks She’s Bought a Compliant Husband
Although Clare Greenough has inherited an unexpected fortune, her money is in the hands of a trustee until she marries—everyone knows a woman is incapable of managing funds. What she needs is an easygoing husband, right away…
They’re Both in for a Shock
She makes a deal with impetuous young James Boleigh, seventh Baron Trehearth: they will marry, Clare will get control of her money, and Jamie will get the funds he desperately needs to restore his lands. To stave off ruin, Jamie agrees, believing Clare will soon become a proper, submissive wife. But to expect a serene, passionless marriage was only their first mistake…

What is the first book you remember reading by yourself as a child?
Jane: The Wind in the Willows. Although this may be cheating. I insisted on being read this story over and over until I memorized it. So I was only “sort of” reading.

I remember reading Georgette Heyer too. The Regency period seemed so romantic.

Heyer is such a great writer!
Hi Jane!
I love your books but must admit I wouldn’t be reading them today if he weren’t for my 10th grade High School teacher who assigned the class Don Quixote by Cervantes as “required reading”.
Needless to say at the time I wished the boys in my class were like him and how he saw Dulcinea after all what teenage girl doesn’t want to look more like a woman a woman “fully grown” and with curves!
I must admit I love a hero who heroine who can see underneath the facade and see the true person inside!
Hi, Jane!
The first romance books I read were written by Barbara Cartland. Then I graduated to authors like Kathleen Woodiwess.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Inspiring English teachers! I bet we’ve all had one.
Thanks, Jeanne.
Typo! Had to re-post. Can’t stand typos. : )
Georgette Heyer and Barbara Cartland were the first historical romance authors I read – I just started reading Jane’s books recently – she’s now on my TBR list.
Barbara Cartland and Nora Roberts were my first Romance books. I have read Jane’s books before and truly enjoyed them.Thanks for the opportunity.

Thanks Di and Carol!
My husband gifted me with a complete boxed set of Georgette Heyer’s romances when I was in the hospital with the birth of our first child, a son. That started me on the road to a romance reading habit and I’ve not regretted it a single moment. It relaxes me and makes me feel good. Thanks for this post and your comments, Jane! jdh2690@gmail.com
