'Taken Bride', The Secret Bride #3, Alta Hensley 💬 ENGLISH FIRST | ESPAÑOL DEBAJO 📖 Review: “Taken Bride”, The Secret Bride #3, by Alta Hensley → Tropes: dark romance; suspense; found family; trauma bonding ⭐ My rating: 2.75/3 stars →   Add to Goodreads This is the conclusion to ‘The Secret Bride’ series. The first book is a thriller and follows the story of Ember and Christopher and how they forcedly became husband and wife. The second book is about their life in New York after they escape their prison and all the drama that comes with it. And this is about how Christopher goes out to take her back when she’s again taken away from him. It’s their journey of coming together as willing husband and wife and finding what works for them in their mad world. I liked it but didn’t love it. There was so much more that could have been done and explained, the book fell short: The side characters could have been developed much more, especially Isaac. There was suspense throughout the
