The Bridal Veil by Alexis Harrington
The use of tired old plot devices to resolve complicated issues ultimately bogs this one down.

Asshole jerk hero, wimpy dumb heroine – the usual lovely combination to make everyone’s day better.
This one is fun. It’s not the deepest story or the most emotional one, but it has its share of good moments.
The author doesn’t have any melodrama that is too much and too ridiculous for her to cram into a story.
The double standards here are impressive.
The heroine is annoying, but then again, they always are, aren’t they?
Two oldies reissued in one single book. One story is better than the other, but this reissue is a good value for money.
Well, the momentum didn’t last long. Aww.
The emotions are there, but the story is so pedestrian and dull that it’s snoozeville all the way.
Oh dear, the hero is such a stereotypical meathead.
