He's inherited a title, but not a penny to speak of, so the Earl of Rochdale knows he must find a wife - preferably one tolerably pretty and good-tempered but definitely wealthy, and who will exchange her fortune for his family name. His choice: Leonie Charnock, one of the season's "Spinster Heiresses". Years before, the earl had saved the dark-eyed beauty's reputation, and she is still breathtakingly lovely, leading Rochdale to hope that their marriage will be more than in name only.

Publisher's Summary
"When a Chattan male falls in love, strike his heart with fire from above...."
They call him Lord Lyon, proud, determined - and cursed. He is in need of a bride, but if he falls in love, he dies. His fervent hope is that by marrying - and having a son - without love, perhaps he can break the curse's chains forever.
Enter beautiful Thea Martin - a duke's headstrong, errant daughter and society's most brilliant matchmaker. Years ago, she and Lyon were inseparable, until he disappeared from her life without a word. Now she is charged with finding Lyon's bride - a woman he cannot love for a man Thea could love too well.

Brilliant start to a new series
Lord Lyon is cursed - he must not fall in love 'cause if he does then the curse will claim him. He has known Thea since they were children and, although he has tried, he cannot stop the attraction between them from building. Thea, now widowed with 2 children, doesn't believe in the curse.... that is, until it's far too late.
Loved the story, great family interaction, good romance but BEWARE this book does not have a wrapped-up ending like so many historical romances - I think its a trilogy.
Definitely worth the credit, I'm glad I used mine on this one.

Suspense and romance
What did you like best about this story?
I liked that there is a mystery/suspense that carries on to the next book. The friendship that develops between the main characters in this book, as well that all sub characters are equally important. The kids in this book are too cute! (reminded me of my son). The plot of the book is unique and yet very familiar. I would give the story a B+. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.
Have you listened to any of Rosalyn Landor’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I love Rosalyn Landor's voice in all of the books she has read - she doesn't disappoint.

Excellent!!
What did you love best about Lyon's Bride?
The story between Neal and Tess, of course. This was a well put together storyline. Once again Roslyn did an exceptional job narrating and Cathy did well on this storyline.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Lyon's Bride?
For me, when the boys along with the Chattom siblings playing marble! Priceless. Then it was all interrupted by the Dowager Chattom.
Which scene was your favorite?
The scene in Lyon's room with the ladies and later with him and Tess.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes and I would have had there not been minor interruptions here and there. I finished it however in a day and some hours.
Any additional comments?
Is there a book 2? I am patiently waiting for it to continue.

Good Story - Wonderful Narrator
This is the first installment of the Chattan Curse series by Cathy Maxwell, and I must say, what a marvelous start! This book is *sigh* inducing and oh, so romantic. A great story of second chances and true love conquering all .
Neal Chattan aka Lord Lyon and his family are cursed. The Chattan Curse is to punish and prevent any of them from falling in love. For generations, his ancestors have been attempting to avoid or stop the curse only to wind up with the same fate, death. Lyon's brother and sister have made a pact that the curse will end with them, not continuing with their blood line. But Lyon has other plans.
Widowed with two young sons, Thea Martin has become the town's successful match maker. Lord Lyon requested for her services but with specific requirements. Although Thea was against them, Thea accepts the job as her financial status has gone to a dwindle. The problem is Thea and Neal shared a past that will complicate their business arrangements.
I love second chances at love. Ms. Maxwell has given this couple a chance at a well deserved happiness despite their life struggles.
The world building was great and Ms Maxwell's writing flowed. The character buildup was also good even for the secondary characters. Thea was a great heroine, a kick ass single mom who knew her priorities. And Neal the honorable hero who makes the right decision in the end. I love that their romance was done in good timing and being acquainted in the past, their love only needed to grow. Some parts of this book were totally cliche but every bit as heart warming.
With that, I leave you with a quote:
"No woman had ever completely over powered him with desire. She was quicksilver and light. She was the stars, the moon, the sun. In this moment, she owned his entire being."

Good
I enjoyed this series very much. My only complaint for this story is I found Thea a bit obnoxious. Her not believing in the curse is one thing...I might have found that a bit much too...but her pride and stiff neck was often hard to take. I couldn't believe how often she put her pride before her sons. I do recommend.
