Forsaking all others...

Gage Trembath is getting married. He is the only one who knows it, but the statement is true nonetheless. The woman he had once loved has been married elsewhere for a time, and he can put off his own marriage no longer. The woman he has chosen to marry, without love, is sensible, quiet, musical, and amenable, which should enable him to have a good marriage and a content life. That is all he wants now, and Honora Berkeley makes the most sense.

Honora cannot believe that a handsome and wealthy man like Gage has any interest at all in marrying her, even without love. She has certainly very little to recommend her, but escaping her life of criticism and abandonment is something she cannot resist. But what about the woman Gage had once loved? The one who was perfect for him and the one who made him determined to abandon love? Are his feelings for her truly gone? Will Honora ever have his affection along with his respect?

Editorial Reviews

"This has to be one of the best books I have ever read! The focus of their love throughout the story, never faltered. It is one of the sweetest and most tender love stories I have ever read (and I read A LOT!!) I fell in love with Gage myself- what a perfect man so that we all could dream! The effects of abuse is heartbreaking and some people never overcome those "tapes" playing back in their heads. I have enjoyed all your books Rebecca, especially the London League series, but this one is unusual, unexpected and a treasure. Thank you. God bless you."

A beautiful, beautiful book

A marriage that grows from the seeds of respect, a self that emerges from the wreckage of parental disdain and learned self-sabotage, a community of vibrant love and joy that nourishes and supports both. A rich, joyful book, superbly written by an author who never disappoints.

A marriage for a deserving couple.

A story of a couple looking for something to hold on to. I liked all the characters but I do feel that the husband was made to not want a true marriage at the beginning and I feel that it not how it works so that part of the story was unbelievable for me. The romance was nice but again with his wife's insecurities he should been more aware when talking to the other woman.

Arranged marriage to love

So far in this series there is one theme that just makes you roll your eyes, the way these gentlemen goes about the whole marriage thing. Big sigh.Of the three, I still have to say this went far better than the priviouse ones that was quite catastrophic for a long time. Something borrowed is a sweet story with two very likable but not confident persons when it came to love. He never thought about marrying for love, she never dared dream of it.And we get to meet old friends, go down a mine and get to experience Cornwall again, of course. This will definatly be a new favorite on my bookshel

Something Borrowed (Cornwall Brides) - a must read

Rebecca Connolly never disappoints. Each book leaves me eager for the next, and “Something Borrowed” is no exception. Honora’s story gives assurance that we can rise above what we leave behind. Gage might be a little more perfect than reality, but we can hope! Her characters are deeply defined and relatable. The storylines are never the same and always compelling. Regardless of the genre, Rebecca has a special way of transferring the story that’s in her heart to the page. Can’t wait for “Something Blue.”

Nice Read

Love a marriage of convenience story!Nora had been through so much with her awful parents and I was so happy Gage ask her to marry him.I loved their love story and Gage had some really sweet tender moments with Nora.The dance really made me mad though and I wish Nora would have told him what hurt her dance, ring….Overall great chemistry and love between these characters.
