The Stranger I Married
They are London’s most scandalous couple. Isabel, Lady Pelham, and Gerard Faulkner, Marquess of Grayson, are well matched in all things - lusty appetites, constant paramours, provocative reputations, and their absolute refusal to ruin a marriage of convenience by falling in love. It is a most agreeable sham - until a shocking event sends Gerard from her side. When, four years later, Gerard returns, the boyish rogue is now a powerful, irresistible man determined to seduce Isabel. He is not the man she married - but is he the one to finally steal her heart?

If you are a fan of Thea Devine or Susan Johnson, than Sylvia Day is the author for you. This book has so many sex scenes with our two main characters trying every position imaginable is a feat beyond itself. If you are looking for a juicy plot, look elsewhere. Everyone is this book who is married sleeps with everyone. Of course the reader doesn't let us see too much of the hanky panky going on between the less than important people in this book, but we read about it in everyone's conversations.
Just read this quote on Facebook :) "I do not require your assistance to find sex. I require you. I want messy. And sweaty and dirty. God give me strength, for I have been cursed with wanting that from my wife." - Gray, in THE STRANGER I MARRIED
An open marriage! The very last trope I ever thought Id read forget enjoy! But surprisingly this book has a romance of the sweetest caliber. A bit mushy, a bit smutty and nothing exemplary writing wise but awfully sweet all the same. But then it was a sham really the open wedding - because while in the past they were the good friends who comfortably reside in the same house while keeping their own hours, lives and lovers; in the present, they are faithful to each other and it was all gentle
A great twist on the story line of marrying for convenience, then falling in love afterwards. Very romantic and sexy. Gray was a yummy, sexy hero too. A very hot read!
THIS. IS. THE. BEST. OF. THE. BEST.Ok, this is one of my favourite books so, don't say a word or I'll cut your face(?My reaction to the prologue: If that's the prologue... Good lord, I thought, how the book will be!?Just 5 fuckin' pages and I was like See your ring on my finger, he growled, obviously frustrated. Know that I am yours. That I am different from the others. Gray licked the shell of her ear, and then bit the lobe. Want me, damn you. The way I want you. His words... His actions...
This book, although very well written and edited, contains two of my biggest pet peeves:1) Lost time - The whole "4 years later" without any details of those years doesn't work for me.2) No communication leads to unfounded assumptions - When the h and H don't communicate how they feel just to prolong the angst, it simply frustrates the reader and I very much dislike that.I give this book 2.5/3 stars. The supporting characters were somewhat interesting and I was able to finish the book.Rating
