5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent romance, 21 May 1999
By A Customer
After obtaining his reputation fighting in the Crusades, Marcus Kincardine returns to England to head his clan. He quickly realizes that he must wed a warrior maiden who possesses magical powers in order to rid his people of a century-old curse. Lady Avalon d'Farouche fits the image of his people's savior. Marcus plans to marry Avalon in spite of her refusal and the objections of her kin.

Avalon's life has been filled with violence and loneliness. After her parents' deaths her uncle raised Avalon to meet the conditions of the warrior maiden. She vows to marry no one as she plans to become a nun. However, to her chagrin and amazement, Avalon finds herself attracted to and eventually falling in love with Marcus. Though he initially saw her as a tool, he too is in love. However, he needs to marry the genuine maiden warrior and not some pale imitation. Is Avalon the manifestation of the legend or is she just an extremely cleverly trained person? She denies possessing any special powers unless love counts as one.

THE TRUELOVE BRIDE is an exciting Medieval romance that continues to prove that the promise previously shown by talented Shana Abe has blossomed into a full bouquet of roses. The story line revolves around the relationship between Marcus and Avalon. Their flaws interfere with their actions and their motives slowly change during the course of the tale, making them seem so real. The superstitions add much to the twelfth century landscape that feels so genuine as a backdrop. Though the climax is entertaining but forced, fans of historical romance will receive great pleasure from a wonderful novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely well written love story., 1 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I had never read anything by Shana Abe before & almost didn't buy this because the cover was awful; i'm glad I did though. I was pleasantly suprised to find this book very well written. The charactes came to life & the story was a wonderful combination of romance, magic & intrigue. Also, the love scenes were steaming. I would have given the book 5 stars except for the fact that the ending wrapped up a little too quickly and the heroine was in denial a little too long. If she said "I can't" one more time, I would have thrown the book across the room. However, since the book was so well written, I'm going to try The Promise of Rain.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a lovely story!!, 3 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I was immediately drawn in by Shana Abe's magical writing. She has so much power in her words. This is a love story that stays with you for days afterwards. It's a keeper for me. I thought the characters were intense and real despite the magic element and loved the romance between Avalon and Marcus. Plus, it's set in the Scottish highlands, my favorite location. This is one of the few books I plan to re-read. If you want a book that leaves you delighted and satisfied, this is the one.
