Can a lady tempt a Free Fellow to surrender his heart?
As a founding member of the Free Fellows League—a group of four gentlemen who signed a pledge to never wed when they were lads—Griffin, Viscount Abernathy, swears that he will put off marrying as long as possible. But when he is suddenly called off to war, he has no choice but to obey his father’s wishes and find a wife…
Just days later, he marries the lovely Lady Alyssa. For a man committed only to his freedom, she seems a perfect—and perfectly undemanding—bride. Intelligent and self-sufficient, Alyssa craves her independence just as much as Griffin loves his. But as the irresistible attraction between them flourishes with every look and touch, they discover there is something they desire even more than a loveless marriage of convenience—the passion they find in each other’s arms…
Book 1 of the “Free Fellows League” Series, which includes BARELY A BRIDE, MERELY THE GROOM, HARDLY A HUSBAND, TRULY A WIFE, A BACHELOR STILL and CLEARLY A COUPLE (a novella from TALK OF THE TON)

Three Stars
It was good until I reached the part towards the end where the trauma was not resolved properly.
Duchess K –
predictable storyline
The story was good And the pact of the free fellows was ridiculous. The plot revolves around the male lead returning from war, scarred and scathed….pretty predictable if you ask me!!!

Best one as for the first read.
This is my first read from the author and i would highly appreciate her for her skillful writing, strong storyline and mesmerizing characters with a touch of heated marriage beds.

Like it very much
Very modern take on old English society and wars. Interesting take on the marriage system of the time. Well done.

Beautifully written
Characters are properly defined, plot is intruding, topic is well studied, information about history and even gardening during that era is nicely framed.

I enjoyed this book so much I will be reading the next book in the Free Fellows League. I love the Character’s and the storyline. The in’s and out’s of a time gone by…. Griffin needed to marry and product an Heir. Saw Alyssa across the ballroom and that is the start of their journey together. You have love, romance, war friends and family what is not to like. Thought it was completely believable and would recommend this book.

This book is an enjoyable read. With the Free Fellows League it adds something different. The author gets on with the telling of the story and I would recommend this book.
Kindle Junkie –
This was a nicely told story I enjoyed throughout. It had me smiling at the banter between characters as well as crying at some scenes towards the end. As this is only fiction forget some less than likely aspects such as an only son and heir heading off to the Peninsular War; the chance of conception of male offspring within three days before risking the death of the heir apparent.

Where do I start!! Barely a Bride is one of the best Historical Romance stories I have read all year. It will go on my re read list. This was my first Rebecca Hagan Lee book and I am very impressed by her storytelling.I fell in love with the Free Fellows League and I loved reading there Charter signed in blood. They are just the cutest 9 and 10 year old heirs to titles. They become friends at school and when one of them gets his feelings hurt by a very young female girl they come up with the Free Fellows League. Rules to protect them from marrying and to follow if they have to marry. Typical 9 and 10 year boy stuff. However when they grow up they find its not that easy to follow the rules.The main characters of this story is Viscount Griffin Abernathy heir to the 17th Earl of Weymouth. Griff is about to join his Calvary The Blues going to fight Napoleon. His father the Earl has decided he must marry first and beget an heir before he leaves to fight. He might die and he is the only child so he must leave an heir. This is just funny!! Griff has one week to marry and get his heir!!Lady Alyssa Carrollton is the youngest daughter of the Earl Tessingham. Tessingham is only interested in breeding his horse flesh and his fox hounds. You can say he is obsessed with his stables and kennels. Lady Tessingham Alyssa mother wants her daughter to marry a Duke the Duck of Sussex as a matter of fact.Griff and Alyssa do marry and this starts the best sensual Historical Romance I have read in a long time. There is great character development and a good about of back story for the characters. The story is rich in the banter between the characters. The setting or scenes are perfectly matched to the Georgian Era. There is also sad events along with but with lots of very happy funny moments. You can easy see the love progressing between Griff and Alyssa. The only thing I felt left out was they didn’t make the heir!! Its always a great HEA when the next heir is born.Barely a Bride was an Excellent Story and I got it Free on Amazon what A boon for me!! I Highly Recommend Barely a Bride!!! Well Done Ms. Lee!!Reading Progress

I enjoy historical romance stories they are a joy to read. Love remains the same throughout the ages. This is one such story. I loved the lady Alyssa and the deal she strikes with Griffin and the fact that Griffin understood what she needed to be herself. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book with a great deal of humour and love. If you donât read it you miss out on a lovely book.
