Product Description
Product Description
"I will wed only my one true love!" declared Princess Brianna despite King Henry's decree that she marry one of the sons of the man who had conquered her family's castle. So Brianna issued a seemingly impossible challenge: He who returned with a gift that made her laugh would win her hand. And thus began the bride quest of the three brothers Fitzgavin. . . .
Burke and Rowan, knights both, set out at her command. Only Luc remained, refusing to indulge the whims of the glorious Irish princess. Even Brianna's legendary beauty could not tempt him--until she invaded his senses . . . and his soul. But Luc thought a princess had no place in the life of a battle-weary warrior who vowed to lay down his sword forever--until he was forced to take up arms to protect the fair maiden who had seized his heart by divine right.

From the Author
Reviews and a summary!
Brianna has no intention of marrying for anything other than love - when the king decrees that she must wed one of the sons of the man who conquered her father's holding, Brianna has other ideas. She devises a quest fitting of a bard's tale and declares that she will wed the brother who brings her a gift that makes her laugh loudest and longest.

She never imagines that the eldest brother, Luc, won't even go.

A jewel of a book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Princess (Bride quest) (Mass Market Paperback)
Princess Brianna finds her life turned upside-down when her home, Castle Tullymullagh, is captured & she is ordered by King Henry to marry one of the sons of the man who now holds her castle. Determined to wed only for love, Brianna stalls a wedding by sending the sons on a quest. She says that she will wed the man who brings her a gift which makes her laugh louder & longer than any other gift. Two of the brothers leave in search of such a gift, but Luc refuses what he feels is a request from a spoiled princess. Brianna, outraged by his refusal to leave on the quest, chases Luc down prepared to convince him to leave. However, she finds herself intrigued by him & seeks to know him better. The two become close when murder & intrigue soon invade the castle. As they fall in love, both Brianna & Luc worry what will happen when the remaining brothers return and a decision must be made. This book has a strong plot, interesting secondary characters & a gentle love story. I look forward to the next book in The Bride Quest trilogy.

Enchanting, refreshing and amusing.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Princess (Bride quest) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is not a bodice ripper. The love scenes are not lurid or pornographic. There is no standard storyline re-hashed with the same old personalities bearing just different coloured hair and eyes to the last bodice ripper that you read. This is a well written (if slightly seasonally misguided) yarn, with wit and warmth and the gradual building of a love based on trust and intelligence (and great kissing). Something you can really believe in. Characters were passionate and amusing. Mystery story was a tad predictable but what isn't these days. I loved this book because it was just a little different and appreciated that real attraction starts in the mind and not in a swarthy complexion. Highly recommend it to intelligent readers looking for romance but bored with the usual offal.

This review is from: Princess (Bride quest) (Mass Market Paperback)
This was such a great a book. Despite the mistake of the season thing, i thought it was nice to see a change in the usual stories that i read. You keep guessing who the bad guy is and wondering who she'll have to pick to marry. A great book that should be read by everyone.
