Review: THE SHY BRIDE by Lucy Monroe

May 17, 2010 in Harlequin Presents, July 2010, Lucy Monroe, Reviews by Donna Zapf

"Will this rich tycoon see the real woman behind her shy shell?"

Annually, despite her debilitating shyness, famed pianist Cassandra Baker donates personal piano lessons to be auctioned for charity.  This year the recipient of the lessons is Neo Stamos, a self-made real estate tycoon.  Neither Cassandra nor Neo are excited about the prospect of the lessons until they meet and an instant connection is made.

Neo recognizes Cassandra as a lovely retiring woman with a sharp wit and underlying passion.  Cassandra senses the arrogant, no-nonsense, public man as well as the perceptive, kind, private man in Neo.  Together, they form a friendship that develops into so much more.

Best selling author Lucy Monroe creates a classic romance with THE SHY BRIDE.   The hero and heroine have deep seated emotional wounds that very few others have bothered to acknowledge much less address.  They are valued for their public faces, a rich handsome magnate and a world renowned pianist, and as a result both put up barriers, hiding behind work and shyness.  Ms. Monroe brilliantly portrays Cassandra and Neo, exposing their hurts and demonstrating the healing power of love.  THE SHY BRIDE  will leave a smile on your face.
