Originally appeared in the print anthology Three Weddings and a Kiss.

Gwendolyn Adams is about to propose to an earl. On his deathbed.

Gwendolyn Adams isn't shocked at being asked to save a handsome earl's dying line, even when she learns the prospective bridegroom is seriously ill and possibly insane. She's quite a good nurse, after all, and her family is famous for producing healthy male children. Those stories about his riding the moors half-naked on a pale white horse? Extremely intriguing—especially after she gets her first look at the gorgeous lunatic.

The Earl of Rawnsley wants only to lose what's left of his mind in peace and privacy. But his busybody relatives have saddled him with a surprise bride and orders to sire an heir forthwith. (And they say he's mad?) But with Gwendolyn, his health is returning, and his resistance ... crumbling. Is it possible that love is the finest madness of all?

I liked how the characters were admired for their good qualities, beyond just being beautiful or dashing. A nice story. ( )

A really lovely novella with humor and heart that I can see returning to over & over. ( )

This little gem of a novella comes in between of 'Lord of Scoundrels' and 'The Last Hellion' and since both of those are one of my all time LC's favorites, I must say this has just joined those two.

Everything in this novella worked to perfection. I can't tell you how much I loved the heroine. She had enough strength without being overbearing, and such compassion and sweetness, I just couldn't help but love her.


The hero was just as noble as you'd expect him to be, but also someone you felt the compassion for.


The plot was totally unexpected and worked so well within the romance, it touched me deeply because it hit too close to home.


If you've never read LC before, you may as well start with this one!

THE MAD EARL'S BRIDE by Loretta Chase is an exciting Regency Historical Romance set in 1828 London. A novella. #3.5 in the "Scoundrels" series, but can be read as a stand alone. Please be aware it originally appeared in the print anthology Three Weddings and a Kiss. A glimpse into the issues of the 1800's,with mental illness, misdiagnosis,finding balance,finding a cure for mental illness and finding true love and your soul mate. This is the Earl of Rawnsley and Gwendolyn Adams' story. Gwendolyn is a wonderful nurse and with her Dorian's health is returning. Some say Dorian is mad, but is he really? For you see, all Dorian wants to to be left in peace and await his death, just as his mother did. But did she really have a mental illness or was some other nefarious act in play. To learn more on Dorian and Gwendolyn, you must read "The Mad Earl's Bride" you will not regret it, I didn't. Banishing misconceptions and ideas of mental illness,for you will see the power of knowledge. I love the way this author incorporated mental illness into her storyline T he village and others was misinformed on a diagnosis given that was totally wrong,and the Earl himself as well as his mother suffered. It shows how so many people are misdiagnosed and what happens to their lives and to their loved ones as well. Well done indeed! 158 pages packed full of passion, knowledge,and the power of love. Received for an honest review from the publisher and Edelweiss.

RATING: 4

HEAT RATING: MILD

This is a charming early Loretta Chase novella. The "mad" earl marries a woman who coincidentally wants to be a doctor (but couldn't be in those days). The story is serious and sweet and funny at the same time. It was great fun to see Bertie Trent, from Lord of Scoundrels, as the earl's best friend. He's just as goofy and surprisingly wise as before. ( )
