4.0 out of 5 stars History at its best, 29 April 1999
By A Customer
If you are a true historical romance reader, then you will definitely enjoy the compelling history, however, the love story in itself is somewhat annoying and confusing. Adrienne is a hero that every woman will love. Strong, masculine, confident, yet gentle when necessary, and devoted to both his king and adversary of a wife. Danielle, I found to be 'stupid'. She was raised by an English king, yet she would betray her loving huband and her king in order to keep a vow she made to her mother, a vow she did not fully understand. However, since I'm a fan of the typical genre of 'relunctant brides and grooms', I enjoyed the bantering between the two. The 'King's Pleasure' is not one of the best, however, few historical romances are written involving this particular Platagenet and that in itself is refreshing. On a scale of 1 to 5, I give this book a low 4 or a high 3 1/2 stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars Well written, but disappointing., 3 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I found the book well written as far as everything but the love story! These two don't become lovers until after page 200 and then the heroine of the story spends almost the entire book (until the very end) fighting her feelings for the hero, being unbelievably defiant, actually a traitor to the hero and his king, and yet he can't help but love her! I really did not enjoy this book; Ms. Drake (a/k/a Heather Graham) usually writes a better love story.
