From Publishers Weekly
Two outrageous and original characters lock horns, with unpredictable results right up to the happy ending, as Coughlin (Lord Savage) scores with another delightful Regency romance. When a drunken libertine, the Duke of Raven, comes across a well-bred young lady fallen deathly ill en route to London, he impulsively seizes on a scheme suggested by a friend. By marrying her and becoming a widower, he can use his feigned grief to free him from the annoying demands of society. He has no scruples about tricking a semi-conscious woman into marrying him, but fate, naturally, has his comeuppance in store. Leah not only recovers, she decides to take advantage of her unexpected rise in society to further a scheme of her own, and from there on, it's a game of point-counterpoint. Although the marriage of convenience is a convention of the genre, Coughlin manages to surprise the reader at every turn while keeping her protagonists both believable and appealing.

From Literary Times
"Wicked Lord Raven"...only in a really good, really enticing, really passionate romance would a writer ever use such a name for the man who captures the heart of the lovely heroine. Well then, Merely Married is all those things and more! Patricia Coughlin has gone the distance and made my toes curl in anticipation of her next venture into romance. Raven is perhaps one of the most self-centered, egotistic, and fraudulent men every to grace the stage of romance. Not only is he compellingly handsome and beguilingly seductive, he has the heart of a wild animal and the soul of the devil himself. That is...until he marries Leah Stretton. Of course, he only married Leah because he thought her on her deathbed. She wasn't supposed to recover and insinuate herself into his every waking...and dreaming moment. Leah? Well, she's quite an interesting piece of work, too. She is only in London, pricking Raven's hide, because she desperately wants to give her little sister the greatest season she possibly can have. With Lord Raven's name blended with the endeavor, little Christiana should capture quite an appropriate spouse. Then the marriage will be annulled and everything can go back to the way it was. Annulment? You can't be serious! Lord Raven never consummating his marriage? Made a laughing stock before the entire world? There has to be another way to solve this problem once and for all. The agreement calls for getting the little sister married off adequately. That can be achieved. The plan, however, is to seduce the new Duchess into a quiet country life away from London. Can Raven pull it off without making a mess of Leah's life as well as his own? Just wait until she tells him she loves him. How the mighty will fall! Merely Married is one of the most delightful romances I have read in a while. The passion is electrifying! The story is captivating! The characters are incredible! My hat is off to Ms. Coughlin for making my heart sing and bringing a smile to my face with every page! Incredibly wicked! A lesson in seduction you will never forget! Merely Married is one of the greatest mixes of character and plot you'll ever find! Patricia Coughlin fills every chapter with passion...every page with desire!
