![]() ![]() Seven years before the story proper started, a jilted Jim Owen ran off to join the Foreign Legion and ended up a dead man in Egypt. The Other Guy’s Bride is set in the golden age of unmitigated gall, theft, pillaging, cultural appropriation Egyptology and this features heavily in the sub-plotting. If you are looking for a cleverly written historical romance that doubles as a fun romp, this could very well be the book for you. It’s a romantic adventure, as opposed to the romantic romance I generally prefer. ![]() My historical romance obsession still has me in its talons, no movement there, but the novel wasn’t a one in a style I enjoy which, I must emphatically note, comes with the addendum “…because I am boring.” I don’t like a lot of subplot in my romances and while this book’s subplots do not runneth over, they didn’t exactly runneth under either. This review is putting me in the unusual position of recommending The Other Guy’s Bride by Connie Brockway, even though it wasn’t really my cup of tea. ![]()
