The Undisciplined Bride
Author: Ginger Voight
Release date: Oct 1, 2013
Blurb:
Throughout her 23 years, Peyton Prescott was used to running the show. That went into overdrive the minute she agreed to become a bride. Born into an affluent Southern family, she was expected to fulfill her social obligation to marry well, and found that unsuspecting groom in her pushover fiancé, Leland Goodreau. He, like the rest of her family, catered to her every whim to keep her happy, and she predicted a satisfactory, if not boring, existence as his missus.
In fact, the only real human to stand up to this bridezilla from hell is Mateo Bravo, one of the chefs she considers to cater the blessed event. Sparks fly the minute they meet and out of sheer defiance, she hires Mateo and his sister Naomi for every social gathering in the remaining months until she marries.
Mateo, unlike any other man she's ever met, doesn't put up with Peyton’s behavior. With a masculine energy that she finds alluring and exciting, he turns her entitled existence upside down by showing her she's not always the boss. No one is more surprised than she is when she finds out that she kind of likes it.
Peyton decides to seduce, and then dump, the middle-class cook, just to get him out from under her skin. Instead she finds out that there are a few things in life even the great Peyton Prescott can’t plan.

Teaser:
She
punched the button on the elevator to take her up to the roof where she hoped
to get a breath of fresh air.
She
stepped inside the luxurious box with the gold accents and glass wall facing
out over the Houston skyline. Just before the doors closed a hand appeared and
forced them back open.
Her
mouth fell open when she saw Mateo enter the elevator, larger than life. He was
tall and elegant in his finely tailored tuxedo, and his cologne filled her
senses as he stepped closer so the doors would close.
“What
are you doing here?” she stammered.
“Following
you,” he answered softly as he caressed the curve of her face with the back of
his hand. “We have an appointment, do we not?” She watched stupefied as he used
his other hand to press every single button on the way up the high rise hotel.
“What
are you doing?”
“Taking
the scenic route,” he replied before he curled an arm around her waist and drew
her up against his rigid body. Before she could protest, his mouth was on hers,
gently probing her lips with his tongue until she wilted against him in perfect
submission to his kiss. Her arms curled around his neck as she pressed against
him.
His
fingers wound in her hair, tugging her head back so he could explore the
delicate curve of her neck with his mouth. She couldn’t suppress a groan as her
fingers dug into his back. He was so exciting and so real and so raw… she
couldn’t get enough. Even when the doors opened on that first floor that his
fingers had accidently hit, she couldn’t tear herself away from him. Instead
she wrapped one leg around his and pulled him back against the side wall.
He
chuckled against the nape of her neck. “Aren’t you scared we’ll get caught?” he
asked.
“I
don’t get scared,” she whispered back, her mouth flushed from the power and
intensity of his kiss.
“No?”
he asked as he curled a hand around the back of her neck. He turned her toward
the glass pane that looked out over the city. She gasped as she felt him step
directly behind her. He ran his hands up her legs under her skirt until they
cupped her ass. She gasped as she rested her face against the glass, staring
down at the domed roof of the atrium below. It was though they were flying
somewhere above the rest of the world.
He
nuzzled her ear. “Tell me what you want, Peyton.”
“You,”
she breathed.
He
rocked his pelvis against her, pressing her into the glass. She could feel how
much he wanted her, too. “Right here? Right now?”
“Anytime.
Anywhere.”
“That’s
a good girl,” he said before his mouth clamped on the arch of her neck. She
shuddered beneath him. She thought the door opened again, but it was all a
haze. She realized that she could see the reflection in the glass of the lit
hallways behind them just as the doors closed.
She
reached around him to grab his tight ass in both hands, pressing him closer.
His arms slid down her body in between her legs, dragging the neatly trimmed
fingernails up her bared thighs as he gathered her skirt into his hands. She
leaned her head against his strong shoulder as she sighed when his fingers
traveled in between her legs.
The
door opened again to another empty hallway. Higher the elevator climbed as his
fingers uncovered the hard little nub that sent electricity through her each
and every nerve ending. He swirled his forefinger around this button of joy
without applying direct pressure. She squirmed against him as he tortured her.
She
could see his reflection in the glass. His eyes were dark as they focused on
her face while he fingered her. She couldn’t stop the gasps and groans if she
wanted to. She was powerless beneath his hands and he knew it.
Another
floor, another open door and empty hallway. She couldn’t even begin to care
about that. Mateo had her teetering on the verge of coming just with his hands.
If they got caught, they got caught. But she needed him to bring her over the
edge more than she needed to breathe. Both her hands slapped against the glass as
they ascended. The higher they climbed, the more crazed he made her. Finally a
finger slipped inside and she couldn’t help but cry out.
“Is
that what you want?” he murmured against her ear as he nibbled at the lobe.
“You want something inside?”
“God,
yes,” she whimpered. “I want you inside me, Mateo.”
He
chuckled. “Not till we’re on top of the world, princess.”
“I’m
already there,” she breathed as she pressed against him.
“Not
yet,” he promised. He spun her around into his strong arms and crushed his mouth
onto hers. He kissed her deeper than she had ever been kissed before, as if he
couldn’t get enough. He was groaning in his throat as the door finally opened
to the rooftop bar. With great difficulty he pulled away and led her from the
elevator.
Shannon's Review:
Starting
this book I really did not like the lead
character one bit.
She was incorrigible, nasty, cruel bitch.
This bitch
is Peyton. She was a spoiled rich girl with the idea of
everybody bowing down
to her and she looking down on
everyone. I know you have heard the term
Bridezilla, she takes the cake.
Meeting Mateo
you see a hard working, loyal, strong willed,
young man. I absolutely loved him
and his devious plans for Peyton. He takes you by surprise throughout the book.
Him and Peyton were made for each other. I can’t really say to much without
giving it away, so go get this book and discuss with me.

I am giving
this book 3.5 hearts. I loved how the characters played off of each other and
how Lissette stood her ground and showed what she was made of. (By the way you
will love her and meet her as Peyton’s best friend)
3.5 out of 5
