About this deal

She spent a long time in the bathroom as she was really tired both physically and mentally. A lot of things happened today and she needed to ponder hard on them. The wedding was conducted as scheduled. White wedding dress, red carpet, flowers, and guests... The wedding was as grand as the one people saw on big screens. But Autumn's heart was as cold as ice. She was emotionless. Hearing her mother's words, all the feelings that Autumn had long bottled up inside her gushed out in the form of tears. Tears were running down her cheeks. 'Even a vicious tiger will never treat its cubs the way my mother treats me.' She thought to herself.

The Substitute Bride by Noël Cades | Goodreads

Autumn Myers looked at herself in the mirror. She heavily stamped on the wedding dress lying flat on the floor and thought to herself, 'Why? Why do I have to clear up the mess created by Yvonne?' The next day she manages to convince her parents that she had been in the hospital for the night due to seafood poisoning, even though her sister, Jessica tried to convince them that Olivia slept with a man. Wendy turned to the salesperson waiting outside the room and yelled, "Don't just keep standing there. The wedding dress is ripped. Get her a new one! Our Yvonne is not any ordinary person. She deserves the best wedding dress."

Part 1: Main Story of The Substitute Bride Can’t Escape

Is that what you're going to do to your bride tonight as well?" The person who asked this had a sly smirk on his face. "Or... have you other plans for her?" He had only heard of the beloved daughter of the Woodsen family, but never had the chance of meeting her. In fact, there were very few people who had seen her before.

I really enjoyed this - most of the way through. Then, a few chapters before the end, I ran into a couple of scenes that, if they had happened earlier, probably would have made me put the book down altogether instead of just skipping over them. To start with what I liked: I appreciated the way that the other members of the household were real people, not just cardboard cutouts supporting Giles and Angelica. Jenny and Lydia in particular really added to the story - and the description of the banister episode almost made me want to try sliding down one myself! So, yes, the writing was good and kept me interested, and the unfolding of the relationship felt relatively realistic. However... The Substitute Bride Can’t Escape is surely an interesting novel with a catchy plot and well-developed narrative. There are plenty of chapters that readers can find delightful and make them keep reading the wonderful story of Olivia White and Vincent Barton. The Substitute Bride Can’t Escape Chapter 10 Substitute Bride is a solid regency romance that I couldn’t really put down. Despite its rather common plot, the author manages to keep us invested in the characters and story right till the end. Despite her unwillingness, for the sake of her father and to support her family, she became the substitute for the so called "sister" she had and had to marry a devil named Brian Clark. Angelica finds that Lady Barbara does not show affection for Giles and neither does he for her. Angelica has a good friendship with Lydia and Jenny likes her too. Before long, Angelica realizes that she has fallen in love with Giles and knows she cannot remain there and watch him and Lady Barbara together. When she tell Giles she must leave to care for an ailing family member, she learns that Lady Barbara has just married someone else. Angelica then agrees to help with cancelling the wedding plans, but Giles asks her to marry him to which she is hesitant. He wants a marriage of convenience and a marriage in name only. Reluctant to accept, she finally agrees. Now that she is to be a substitute bride, is there any way that they can have a happy marriage?There isn't much of a plot. It all revolves around Angelica becoming a governess and chaperone and then the "substitute bride". I was hoping for some unexpected twist or exciting event (other than just Giles badly spraining his ankle!) The room was dark. Only a wall lamp was turned on. But the darkness in the room was nothing in comparison to the darkness on Charles' face. I’m always careful to avoid spoilers but I really don’t need to, because there are no surprises. In a sense that doesn’t matter. In a romance we all expect a happy ending and it’s the telling of the story that differentiates between one such tale and another.

From the tone of their voices, you could tell that they had their doubts about this marriage. However, since Brian had made his decision, there's nothing much others can do.The novel tells the story of where we hear the private thoughts of more characters which definitely gives a wider range of viewpoints, allowing me to visualize the moments and paint in some of the finer details of what surrounded the scenes and setting real, flawed characters.
