After four unsuccessful seasons, Eliza Hammond is not
looking forward to her fifth. Not knowing how to talk to
people, Eliza reluctantly agrees when her best friend
Violet suggests that Violet's brother-in-law Kit mentor
Eliza to prepare her for new suitors. Eliza has loved Kit
for years and only recently put her feelings for him behind
and moved on.
Lord Christopher (Kit) Winter can't believe what he's
gotten himself into. Eliza is unfashionable, mousey and
timid. The only thing she has going for her is an inherited
fortune. But if Eliza will do what he instructs her to,
they just might be able to find her a decent husband.
Kit can't believe the transition in appearance Eliza has
made just by changing her hair style and purchasing
fashionable clothing. He finds he actually enjoys talking
to her, but something about her just doesn't sit well.
Unsure what the problem is, he continues to mentor her and
is pleased that her progress is more than he expected. But,
Kit is actually annoyed that other men are lining up to be
in her company.
With her lessons coming to an end, Eliza decides there's
one area she knows nothing about -- kissing. When she asks
Kit to teach her the art of kissing, she expects him to
laugh in her face. Instead, he does the opposite and she
realizes she wants to learn more. Neither expects their
instruction in loving to go as far as it does, so Kit does
the noble thing and offers marriage. Eliza refuses. Though
it's her heart's desire to marry Kit, she won't have him
because she knows he doesn't love her.
Even though Eliza yearns to be Kit's wife, she accepts
another's proposal knowing he'll be a good husband and
father to future children. She just hopes she can be a good
wife. Kit is devastated when the engagement is announced,
realizing that he's actually fallen in love with Eliza.
When Eliza is kidnapped, Kit will stop at nothing to get
her back, and hopefully convince her he's the man she
should marry.
THE WEDDING TRAP is the perfect ending in the Trap trilogy.
I absolutely loved the ending. You know if Kit were real,
he'd be stopping hearts wherever he went, and it's
something to watch Eliza turn from ugly duckling into a
beautiful swan under the guidance of the man who'll love
her. I applaud the Trap trilogy and highly recommend all
three books -- THE HUSBAND TRAP, THE WIFE TRAP and THE
WEDDING TRAP.
Eliza Hammond has always been quiet and reserved—hardly
the best qualities for finding the man of her dreams and
living happily ever after. A new heiress, Eliza is
financially secure, courtesy of her aunt’s fortune, but
even great wealth has its drawbacks since every greedy,
fortune-hunting bachelor suddenly finds Eliza
irresistible.
To help her best friend, Violet takes Eliza’s romantic
dilemma into her own hands, enlisting the social skills of
her brother-in-law, Lord Christopher “Kit” Winter. Kit
helps transform Eliza into a stunning belle, certain to
attract a worthy beau. There’s just one problem: Eliza has
always been head over heels in love with Kit, the very man
who is trying to find her a husband! But during Eliza’s
sometimes-comic extreme makeover, and with a few secret
love lessons from Kit on the side, sparks—and passionate
kisses—begin to fly. Kit soon finds himself completely
overcome by an all-consuming desire for Eliza. But if he
waits too long to recognize his love for her, he risks
losing his fair lady forever.
