Historical Romance

BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |

Wiggs has clearly written a strong heroine here.
She has made no secret of her intent to thwart him turning her Norman estate into an English fortress, despite finding herself in love with him. It is only her sense of loyalty to her French king that saves her from Henry's wrath - which doesn't really ring quite true. And her inability to see that her husband is honorable and her French relatives are awful, greedy cowards and traitors makes this hard to read. (

Not her best work. I wanted to like and respect the characters, but the language was too flowery and the decisions were mostly terrible. Plus the post wedding sex scene left me disturbed and colored the entire rest of the book. (
