The Bad Luck Wedding Dress is a historical romance novel set in the 1800s. It’s a story that promises to capture your attention from the first page to the last and will appeal to every romantic novel enthusiast. It’s a story so eventful, crazy, emotional, and dramatic and would make a great movie. All the twists and turns in this story plus the cliff hangers make the story part thriller and part traditional romance novel. One interesting aspect of this novel is that even though Jenny and Trace had sex almost every night, the scenes that make a stand out the most were sex in the woods and the kiss in Rachel’s Emporium. The author has created romantic scenes so enticing than the actual act of sex itself and shows the importance of every single bit of intimacy.
